These are Dan Brown's kind of readers. Piggybacking on the fascination with lost gospels and alternative Christianities, he serves up a Jesus who's a thoroughly modern sort of messiah — sexy, worldly and Goddess-worshiping, with a wife and kids, a house in the Galilean suburbs, and no delusions about his own divinity.
“’Angels and Demons,’ is cleaning up at the box office this week. The sequel to ‘The Da Vinci Code,’ due out in November”
It came out in May - is this a bad cut and paste by the writer?
It’s also “Jesus or Liberalism” -
“Liberal Christian” is an oxymoron, because everything about liberalism is the antithesis of the Word of God.
I’ve spoken with people, mostly liberals btw, who thought “The DaVinci Code” was real.
My God, it says right on the cover that it’s a NOVEL.
I read other book and found it very entertaining, but it is dazzling inaccurate(done, obviously, to enhance the plot).
But it is easy to understand how such a book and a movie can generate so much interest in America - as we turn more and more secular, and make up religion as we go along.
What a shame that many of us believe that we can figure out God. It is one of the great canards of our day.
>> You can have Jesus or Dan Brown. But you can’t have both.
Fine! I’ll take Jesus.
From Hebrews 10:
“28He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
29Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
30For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
31It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. “
Good luck with that, Mr. Brown. I hope for the best for you, and I certainly have my own problems with obeying God. But I’d rather not be in your shoes come judgment day.
No, it is all up to The Øbamanation's nominee... 
for Pope as soon as his religious stimulus package is passed!
Both the book and the movie were entertaining, but not necessarily heretical. Brown can spin a good yarn, but people need to be able to discern truth from fiction.
Well, no going to the theatre for this one..., I’ll just download and watch. I don’t want to pay anyone for garbage.
So........
what’s the difference between “Angels and Demons” and “The Shack”?
None?
Just what are you people reading on a day to day basis that makes you think that Dan Brown’s novel are good fiction?
In “The Da Vinci Code” he spends the first thirty one pages trying to convince the reader that the antogonist is:
6’6
A fulltime Monk
A part time assassin
fastens boards full of nails to his thigh in flagellation....or something. Or maybe he is just a masochist.
An Albino with pink eyes
He is misunderstood
And from there the book goes downhill because it basically consists of word games. I refer to it as “Wheel of Fortune: The Death Match”.
The only book I have read that is worse than this drivel is “Tom Swift on Sindrift Island”. It is horribly written.
1. Cops do not communicate by cell phone to other cops. They use emergency radios that are extremely sophisticated. I used to sell those radios. I know what they can do.
2. A Smart Car will not, repeat, will not outrun a police issued Renault. Under any circumstances.
3. Parisian Police use choppers during car chases just as we do.
4. Detectives do not give perps “enough rope to hang themelves”. They nail them at the first opportunity.
5. The romance between the stunningly beautiful (with a perfect bod) detective, and the professor of Cryptology in his early fifties with slight graying at the temples is hack writing. It is roughly the equivalent of the phrase “It was a dark and stormy night...”. The next time you run into it, bag the book up, take it back Barnes and Noble and demand a refund under the UCC Code “Goods Not Fit for Resale”.
6. Epilogue to #5: Quelle Surprise! Zut Alors!
This book is one of the most awful books I have ever read. I finished it (did not buy it, no way) just to see how the train wreck ended. And my patience was rewarded when, to my horror, Francois Mitterand made an appearence at Versailles in the last pages as one of the keepers of the secrets.
The sequel will be a riot: Illuminati in Mayberry.
