There was a British comic named Brian Conley, who used to do all sorts of beastly things to a squirrel puppet, like hitting it on the head, telling the puppet he'd turned his girlfriend into a hat, etc.

Whenever the audience would object, the comic would shout at them, "It's a puppet!"

I feel like shouting at these people, "It's a novel!". It's fiction, fantasy, myth, in short, it's not true, nor is it even close to being true. Dan Brown is a literary con-man who is covering his lack of talent by wrapping it up in manufactured controversy. We play his game by believing him over JC.

Ping!

I'm sure most readers of Das Kapital would believe that communism is peachy. Doesn't mean it would have the same effect on me.

The poll found that more than one in five British adults has read the book, which has sold more than 40 million copies worldwide, and that a large proportion believe its central claims.

I know this is not true, because the book is clearly labeled as fiction, and everyone knows that you don't believe anything you read in a work of fiction.

I've read that any number of times here on FR.

Shalom.

Satan's goal is being achieved through Brown's work as planned.

re :Whenever the audience would object, the comic would shout at them, "It's a puppet!"

So thats where it came from.

When I was out in Bosnia our QMS (Quarter Master Sergeant) used to shout that all the time. Thought it was some form of Northern Humour, he was a Yorkshire Man I a East End Cockney.

I am always distrustful of polls. I may go see the film though just to see what all the hype is about.

[VOYAGER]

Most Da Vinci Code readers believe Jesus fathered a child, poll finds!

Fools, it is idiotic claptrap and is to be avoided!

[Nathan Zachary]

OK, that's it.

I now declare a fatwa on Dan Brown. This is a special fatwa, a christian one. Since killing is bad and all that, and you can leave forgiving until a few days before death, I say everyone trow their dog crap on his lawn, tag his house, spike his car tires at least once a week. Seduce his wife, (take pics) and just make his life so missurable he'll wish he was dead.

[Global2010]

Didn't read the article.
Headline only.

MadIvan Europe is going to hell in a handbasket in regards to Christianity if a poll finds this true.

What utter heresy.

[BlessedBeGod]

Idiots. Some people will believe anything -- just like those who vote Democrat.

[danamco]

Two thirds of Britons who have read Dan Brown's thriller believe that Jesus fathered a child with Mary Magdalene, a claim rejected as baseless by historians and Bible scholars.




Typically the "Drive-By" L.S.M.'s "logics"!!!
What about the rest of britons who have NOT read the garbage??? Hmmmm!!!

This is just a movie there is a lot of make believe out there in the movies..With all of this hype this movie will make a lot of money..I won't see it not even to rent at the video store.

[exhaustguy]

I am waiting for the MSM to compare/contrast the response of Christians to that of Muslims in regards to insulting the Christian religion versus Islam.

Still waiting.

Also, albinos are also upset about the movie. I suspect the PC crowd may get behind protesting that insult (wait a second they are white so never mind).

[Lewite]

What a croc of a movie. Totally fiction, no doubt. Most viewers are going to see this movie to watch Audrey Tautou prance around the screen. She is a beautiful French actress. Tom hanks has had some good roles, but a bunch of bad ones too!

[AppyPappy]

Proof that people are stupid. They base their spiritual beliefs on a fictional novel. Whatever tickles their ear I guess.

[Einigkeit_Recht_Freiheit]

"It's a novel!".

Do you ever tell that to those who recommend "State of Fear" as a refutation of Climate Change?

[KosmicKitty]

Apparently there's a lack of intelligemce among Da Vinci Code readers -- and not just in Britain.

It's fiction - want truth, call Art Bell!!

[cyborg]

exactly!

[trebb]

True - it is a work of fiction that many, with anti-Christ agendas, are trying to turn into a defacto "truth" in order to harm Christianity. I find it amazing that they will consider a painting that can be interpreted as showing Paul as a woman, by an artists who wasn't around to see the truth, as some kind of "proof". It would also, in my opinion, be impossible to have hidden any "descendant" line that might have began with Jesus.

There are a lot of weak-minded people in the world.
