Have you actually 'read' the book; or is your statement based upon things you have 'heard'?

Well, the book does state that Christ was a mere mortal and that the reason his progeny was kept hidden was to prevent this from becoming known, and thus breaking the Church's power. And the book also for some reason treats Mary Magdalene as a goddess even though it states that she too was mortal. It is blasphemous to Christianity and is also somewhat nonsensical. But it's also entertaining.

I guess I don't get why people are so worked up over this. You'd think that the devout would be happy if some are led "astray"--that way Heaven won't be so overcrowded for them.

I've tried to read this book (I can't continue with it) and I have watched the history channel along with other reviews on this....to say Jesus was having an affair or even married along with having a son....goes against everything in God's word. As Christians we are to believe Jesus was the sinless son of Almighty God and if not the very basis for Christianity has been destroyed. This is the whole point of this blasphemous book.
When are people going to understand there is a major attack against Christianity and what a more subtle way than to make people question the story of Christ Jesus?
