The Da Vinci Code —
Dan Brown is lost in the tangled web he has woven. He appears so knowledgable about his "facts" and this book that has so many hypothese which he presents as truth that the audience forgets this is fiction. But it is fiction. I admit it's entertaining, but Brown left his mind open to long and it fell out. My question is why? Why does he except as fact spurious research some of which is based on the "testimony" of a forger and self admitted liar. The writing flows and he has a nice style. To bad he was as careful about his research. For example the Emperor Constantine had nothing to do with putting the New Testament together; he merely called together the bishops so they could codify the beliefs of Christianity. Many people think that Christianity at the time was the state religion which is not quit accurate. It was merely made legal to be and worship as a Christian. But there were many other "legal" religions at the time. The supposition is interesting but in the end irrelevant. If Christ were married and had children so what. It does not change who and what Jesus was, and it does not elevate his supposed children above any other sinning human being.
