Besides, according to a popular, oft-sent email from conservatives in the late 90s, there is no "Right To Not Be Offended". So, get over it.

Who said there was? Get over your superiority complex. I can debate any issue I like, and as a non-bleiever I am not "offended" by anything except the perpetuation of BS. You're obviously a fan of such, but I would never dream of telling you to get over whatever makes you happy.

Now get over it, and let us get on with whatever we feel like discussing.

I've read through most of the posts on this thread, and all you've done is attack people, repeatedly calling them "idiot, dumb, etc". There are rules for polite conversation, and posting on FR and I think you should attempt to learn them.

My response was appropriate given your hateful mean-spirited post addressed to me.

I suggest you read the post by those who see this book as such a terrible thing. It's a dime store novel ,nothing else. read it and find out yourself.

Perhaps Mr. Brown is unaware that the primary source of research, "Holy Blood, Holy Grail," is fiction. The people behind the hoax have admitted as much.

As I understand it, one of the writers claimed they were hypotheses, and didn't claim that these things were the final truth, but educated guesses. Brown, on the other hand, seems to be saying that he looked into them and BELIEVES them.

"My prediction is that the da vinci code heresy movie will crash and burn as it should."


Poor, beach-read writing != heresy. Unless you're a big fan of the Inquisition and the Witch Trials?


" No believing Christian should give any money to this type of tripe."


No fan of any film should give money to a movie-based-on-a-book, as the movie never does the book justice. "Shawshank Redemption" and "Jaws" being 2 glaring exceptions.


" On the other hand 'The Chronicles of Narnia' by C.S. Lewis that is due in theaters by Christmas will approach the 'Passion of the Christ' in sales."


I doubt it will be nearly as good as the children's cartoon movie of the same name they used to show back in the 70s. I LOVED "Chronicles...". So much so that I read every book in the series. Although it didn't do much for my Christianity, it was still a very entertaining book series. Also, might not some Christians be offended at the "Jesus is a Big Lion" caricature and consider that blasphemy? Jesus wasn't a lion, nor was he killed by a witch!!

But, since I have read all the books, the movie can not possibly measure up to the images my mind already conjured when reading!

Then don't buy it or see the movie ..Simple..If your faith is that THIN that this book upsets

Well, I won't. For the same reason I wouldn't have gone to see Maplethorpes so called "art."
This does not mean my faith is thin. I just don't like or will not promote someone who slanders my faith. --And makes loads of money by doing it, cleverly.

Holy Blood, Holy Grail is one bore of a book and beyond undocumented. They had nerve even trying to pull thatone off.Pretty much zero factual accounts or proof of anything.
Good book on night you can't sleep ..ZZZZZZZZZZZ
