I clearly note that the story is a faction, but I also write on the inside cover that all the background information is true. Meanwhile, I create a myriad of websites recreating and illustrating the false evidence against you. I refuse to state whether any of the evidence is false, simply stating that I think it's good people have a "vigorous debate" about whether it is possible you are such a monster.

Are you seriously going to tell me you wouldn't feel defamed?


Actually, I think I would feel like I hit the jackpot, and would be quite happy, knowing that you would soon be buying me a new house, new cars, a round-the-world vacation, etc.

However, I am an actual, living, breathing, person (I know, I fooled you all).

You really can't equate me with a religion or with conspiracy theories going back hundreds or thousands of years, or history in general.

Not that I wouldn't mind being equated with a religion - who wouldn't want some followers, but I would end up with the kinds of followers, well, here would be a typical conversation:

Me: I'm not the Messiah! Will you please listen? I am not the Messiah, do you understand? Honestly!
Follower: Only the true Messiah denies His divinity.
Me: What? Well, what sort of chance does that give me? All right! I am the Messiah!
Follower: He is! He is the Messiah!

My point? His book is only going to be as powerful as you make it. If you make it out to be a crisis, then it's crisis, but only for you, and those who will listen to you.

As for the rest of us, we know that Christianity has endured much worse, and will probably do so in the future.

Call it a hunch, but I think Christianity, Mormons, and Masons, will outlive Dan Brown and his books.

Well, I as a CATHOLIC am angry, and defamed, and don't sit there and tell me that it doesn't piss you off to read about Republicans or conservatives getting defamed, or that you're too stupid to know the danger of defamation.

How do you figure that? No-one else will read his book if I don't say anything about it?
