Sufilight and Carlos:

I love the Da Vinci Code and plan
to see the movie.

Of course the book itself is fiction.

And I see it is generating alot of
controversy which is good!

Sufilight, I would suggest that you not
diss scholars all the time.  Sometimes
they know what they are talking about, other 
times maybe not.

But be as skeptical of non-scholars as you are of 
scholars!!!

Just because someone may call himself/herself a mystic
or esotericist, doesn't mean that you shouldn't
be skeptical of their claims, etc.  Right?

The following book about the Da Vinci Code is an excellent book:

Did I suggest that you should swallow it whole without
carefully examining the arguments given?

Yes be skeptical of the Catholic Church's version of "truth,"
but don't trade one fiction for simply another fiction!

Remember that motto:

There is no religion, belief, opinion, ism or ology higher than
truth....
