      It was Paul that made Christianity think sex was wrong. Truthfully, this religion should be called Paulism.
      Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

          I find I must agree with you, comrade Ogie.

            Never having read Brown, when I read Da Vinci COde I actually enjoyed the plot twists, knowing full well it was the equivalent of a pulp novel. However upon reading Angels and Demons, I came to teh conclusion the man is a one trick pony. Angels and Demons is essentially the same story with different villains. I knew the outcome 1/3 of the way into the book.
            Yes, I started to read that one as well. and quite soon I began to think "Hey I´ve read this before", and I didn´t even like it the first time

                  Ogie, I´ve come across plenty of one-trick ponys in the fantasy genre. I can see the tell tale signs quite early

                    I have been lent Angels and Demons, but I have even opened it yet.

                      Most of the fantasy genre is a one trick pony.

                        Why go through all the trouble denying some fictional work, makes you wonder, does it not, maybe it is all true after all!!!

                          Or maybe this was the only way this Cardinal was ever going to get his name mentioned in the world press.

                          The Da Vinci Code is Harry Potter huge for some reason.

                            You can find that book everywhere and the risk is that many people who read it believe that those fairy tales are real," he said.


                            probably already said but this can be said about another certain book too

                                Yeeesss, evidently, but when James Joyce uses a framework of 'facts' in 'Ulysses', those facts don't include that Edward VII is the illegitimate son of the King Of Tonga and Queen Victoria, or that the Prime Minister of the British Empire is head of a Masonic clique of international spies who sacrifice nubile virgins in the British Museum.


                                Clearly to Dan Brown there are 'facts' then there are other 'facts' which are useful for shifting large amounts of his books, hoodwinking the gullible, cooking up a conspiracy and making him famous.
