BTW, Dan Brown's new book (due out soon) is about Mormonism. Will you be there shouting down the book?

If Mormons are presented as a bunch of muderous thugs, I would. If the basis of the book is factual, that's another thing. Mormons tend to be decent people, although misguided in some critical areas.

There is nothing to lead me to believe that any of Dan Brown's books are factual ... although I don't know about the Mormon book. It, too, is based on at least some factual Mormon history.

The Da Vinci Code was based on SOME factual Christian history. As you know Brown recently won the lawsuit brought by the authors of Holy Blood, Holy Grail. They contend that he stole their story ... the judge found that this is old stuff in the public domain.

And I don't remember anywhere in the Da Vinci Code where Christians were depicted as murderous thugs ... unless you mean that obviously fictional character, the albino.

Opus Dei was the most obviously maligned IMO. There was a very good article about the real Opus Dei in Bloomberg Markets magazine this month. Highly recommended.

Dear "Always Right"

I'm sure Mormons will appreciate your "kind' judgment. As I mentioned before, it must be a terrible burden to be "Always Right"

;o)
