Afraid I won't be watching it. It dishonors the Savior who died to give me the opportunity to spend eternity with God. I would feel dirty paying money to undercut the life of my Savior.

Well said. And the truth is, it is that part of the fiction story that the author contends is true.

" Well said. And the truth is, it is that part of the fiction story that the author contends is true."

Not precisely correct. Brown states the locales, secret societies, and historical frameworks are true. The geographies are simple, the secret societies (Opus Dei, Masons, Knights Templar, etc), and the mythologies from the crusades are all verifiable. The idea that Christ married and had children is preposterous and is not supported by scripture. Brown has simply taken a page from the playbooks of Ludlum, LeCarre, Clancy, Clavell and others by couching a well spun yarn in historical fact.

"National Treasure" is another example of a good fictional yarn spun well.

God knows our hearts and is not mocked.
