Un uh, even secular historians do not buy Dan Brown's theory,
simply because he makes too many mistakes to begin with. Many of
his 'researched' facts turn out to be quite false, and you don't
have to go through a Christian source to discover that.
It is not just Christians who have an issue with how the truth is
shown here, but the people who actually know the stuff.
One may not like Christianity, but it would not make one any
smarter to buy any hot theory about it that pops up, as much as it
seems cool. It's best to get one's facts straight first.
When one hears something that seems to be the final confirmation
about what they would like to believe, wouldn't they check out the
facts themselves to see if the news is true? It is odd how one
decides to take his authority from nothing but a case presented in
a work of fiction when the case has been shown not to stand up to
reality at all.
Now I'm not sure what this is, but it seems to be the very same
mistake that one makes of people accepting religion without
checking it out, and now one accepts Dan Brown without checking it
out.
No, I do not think simply because you are not into religion your
mind is free, it seems that one simply thinks in the very same way,
but now about different things.
The free thinker may not really be thinking at all.
