Author: Dan Brown

Yeah, this book was a huge... No massive... nuclear strike at my religious beliefs, but I had to read it so when I debate people they can't throw statement at me like: "How can you say that? I bet you didn't read it!"

I had to read this book just because of all of the publicity, and because my kids, my girlfriend and friends were all asking about it. I wanted to be able to answer their questions.

The book says that basically all religion is just something we humans made up to make us feel better about our selves... In other words there isn't anything in the world more powerful than us. The book is full of outright lies, and fact twisting... Which it can get away with because it's "fiction". The author couldn't even use benign facts such as the the correct street names/locations in Paris, or the names and locations of the actual paintings that hang in the museum... Facts that weren't even relevant to the story he couldn't get accurate...

In any case the book was not only distrubing in how anti-Christian it is, but in the fact that it doesn't really resolve any of the issues it brings up... It just leaves you haning. Dan Brown has the ability to pull the reader through the story, but the story was just muddy... so I just felt dirty after I finished.
