"Get it FUN ..not an assult on Christianity ..FUN Make believe FUN"


Exactly. "Any relation to all characters living or dead is purely coincidental." I swear, some Christians are SOOO thin-skinned.

And like you said, it's not even that great of a book. A decent 'beach read' at best....but "Foucalt's Pendulum" is far superior.

A lot of Catholics believe it's fiction hiding 'Catholic truths' that the Church doesn't want you to know about much the way Davinci supposedly 'hid' secrets in his artworks. Real tinfoil hat stuff, to be sure. See #35. It's sad that these Catholics I know will use it as an excuse to spread untruths about the Church, and some of them are educators and hold other positions in the parishes locally. I have a feeling there are many others like them.

Please man ..its FICTION SOLD AS FICTION classified as FICTION..

LOL, that didn't stop Scientologists from buying a book, Dianetics, and turning it into a religion!

Get it FUN ..not an assult on Christianity ..FUN Make believe FUN

I get it. FUN. And fun is what I'll be have debunking and arguing with my friends over it's UNTRUTHS. The sad part, as a Catholic, is the people who will enjoy it and spread it's story line as 'truth', to the confusion of others. I know, it's their own fault if they're that naive, but some are just that naive... That's where it isn't so fun, and they've already begun.
