We understand the fiction thing. The problem is there are many who will take this "fiction" as "gospel" and never search for the Truth. Therein lies the objection.

And I know some who think the Smurfs are evil. There is no way to please some people. Good book, probably a good movie. Hanks is a great actor.

The trailer I saw for this movie had "DISCOVER THE TRUTH" or something similar in huge letters at several points throughout the trailer. They are marketing the movie as though they are uncovering real secrets, and the book is writtne in a form of pseudo-truth using many real buildings, artwork and documents that make the rest of it seem historical as part of the same story.

Whether Brown believes this or not, the story is made to seem true. WIthout a disclaimer that none of this is intended to be looked at as true, and then specific things listed that are made up, a lot of people can't tell the difference. It's not like Spiderman where we know that certain things are impossible and therefore FALSE.

At our church we'll be doing some Bible studies using a booklet specifically to "talk about" (refute) the book/movie. Of course we may (probably?) just end up preaching to the choir.
