I missed your concern for when Dan Brown used fraudulant documents to slander Christianity in the Da Vinci Code. Oh I know it was 'fiction', but it was touted as being based on facts.
Point to where I have defended the DaVinci code. I haven't read it and have no interest in it. I understand, however, it is a work of fiction, like the documents being discussed here.
The difference is that, in this case, a well known clergyman is participating in a fraud. Not merly a writer of fiction trying to make a quick buck.
