Depressing? What, you can't get over the fact it's FICTION? We're heading out to see the movie today.

It was good!

The different segments on History/Nat'l Geo - etc, channels on Opus Dei, Knight's Templar, MM and other "nonexistent" "Brown lies" are helping, IMO, also.

Brown has been both vilified and credited with "ideas" that have been around for 2000 years.

As well as ancient writings, there are several NON-fiction books in print currently, many written before Brown's, on these same subjects. Nothing in the book/movie was a 'new' premise to me, as I have been reading these for a couple decades now.

Strikes me funny that no hue and cry has been made over all the NON-fiction books, with extensive biblios, on these 'ideas' - I guess not many people reading NON-fiction these days...

It took a mystery NOVEL (like in FICTION) to catch the attention of the public. But, hey, if it works to bring the LIGHT out on the past and present history - even if inconvenient for some power structures, well...

Jesus said "...you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." John 8:32

He also told us how to ascertain truth -

If a thing cannot take the LIGHT of day - oh well...

Actually, non-fiction books like Holy Blood, Holy Grail did receiver much criticism and have been totally debunked by investigative journalists, and people involved in the book have admitted the hoax. What is really funny is why any intelligent person would spend the last couple of decades still reading the nonsense.

Same here. I've heard these tales for years and never heard of anyone getting all hyper about them. But I do find it peculiar that some so called Christians on here have suddenly usurped God's powers and condemned my evil soul to eternal damnation for daring to go see a FICTIONAL movie.
