Hello--- IT'S FICTION!
The religious equivalent of Whitley Streiber.

Yes it is fiction, but you would be surprised by the amount of people who either really believe the book to the letter or somehow hope or speculate that its the truth in order to satisfy their hatred of Christianity.

Hello--- IT'S FICTION! The religious equivalent of Whitley Streiber.

The author states at the beginning of the book that it is historically accurate and while fiction, the historical information is true. He's full of crap, of course. He couldn't even get the date right for the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls. His claim that it's historically accurate is what has people upset. I've met a few who take him at his word and believe it, so I can't blame people for wanting to point out the errors.

You know that and I know that -- but trust me there are folks out there that think it's true. Last April I went to Rome and decided to try out one of those student guided tours to see if there was anything new they could show me (as an aside, I've been to Rome quite often -- you have GOT to go there at least once, gorgeous city) and there were some fellow Americans there -- one chubby guy started asking the guide (a small little thing of about 20) abou the Da Vinci code and saying "AH ain't a religious man, haven't read the Bible, but I've read this here book and is it true?"
