NEWSFLASH! Please pay close attention to what I'm about to say. The Da Vinci Code isn't a conspiracy to get people to lose faith in God. It isn't a true story. Dan Brown (the author) is not evil. There is no government conspiracy to get everyone to read the book, see the movie, and then preach the Gnostic gospels to everyone they see. END OF NEWSFLASH
Look. It's a fiction novel. It isn't real. And that's the apparently very hard-to-see fact, because no one gets it. Everyone wants to take The Da Vinci Code so seriously, when in fact, it was written just as seriously as Rowling writes the Harry Potter series. (Some people think kids take Harry Potter seriously too, but gimme a break people.)
Look. Dan Brown is just another author trying to make a living. We can't pretend to know him- or judge him- by what we read in his books. Just because he writes about a huge cover-up conspiracy in the Catholic church, doesn't mean that he actually thinks it's real. Do you think Rowling actually believes that broomsticks fly, or that houselves clean her clothes? Get real and get a life.
The evidence against what the Da Vinci code says is so strong, that it would convince even the the most devoted. The problem is that we're all ignorant of this evidence. And because of this sad, sad truth, we're powerless to help other ignorants escape their fate of sad, sad ignorance. Ahem. Excuse me, if I'm speaking strongly about this, and I've offended you. Have I made you think yet? Because that's my intent.
