It's a lame work of fiction.

People are of course free to feel personally insulted by it, and not to support it, but it's a made-up story.

What's interesting to me is that alot of people are concerned that the book and film will lead people astray. Which seems odd; I expect those people who are swayed from a lifetime of faith by a trifling bit of fiction have deeper problems than Dan Brown.

Good parents always worry about their children constantly. That's what parents do cause they love their kids and it pains them horribly to even consider the thoughts of what would be ahead if they went astray from the straight and narrow, off in a wrong direction for even a second, one wrong move, leading them toward death, pain etc.

It is not odd to love people. Loving people is good,right and normal and when you love them you wish them well, good, safety, peace, joy, etc., with all your heart - normal stuff. It is not odd to be obsessed about someone you love being in possible pain and agony. Infact just the opposite. It is odd to not care. It is odd to see a child about to go off in a car drunk with his buddies and just continue to watch a tv program. It is odd when folks just sit watching ball games while their kids are running off the edge of cliffs.

You ought to scan post 6. It's a pretty good description how seriously this work if fiction is taken by its author.
