I vote the same way you do. An I repeat to anyone overly excited that it's fiction, a story, he made it up. Why did he write it??? $40 million plus probably answers part of that question. Plan on seeing the movie (and I don't go see many) in part because I have been to some of the places were scenes were shot.

See previous post. The claim of "fiction" does not shield the author from the charge that he's spreading lies about Christianity. And furthermore, Dan Brown himself has claimed that his book is based on "fact" even though the characters are fictional.

Who's talking about beheading, anyway? The mere fact that a book and movie like this can be made which attacks Christianity without peals of protest from our "betters" in the elite media (as would happen if Dan Brown's target was the Jewish or Islamic religion), says to me that I'm on the right side in this. Christ taught that he world would hate us as it hated Him. Attacks like this are to be expected--and turned in our favor.

It sure makes for interesting tales but I don't understand why folks are so overwrought?

I read the book and enjoyed it and didn't alter my faith or the truth one iota. Kind of amusing watching all the fuss. Sit back and enjoy the show!
