Da Vinci Code

from my opinion it might be true and it might not be true. i don't really know whats true right. you just have only a book and that doesn't really tell you a lot. we are getting futuristic and modern and the modern world doesn't believe anything without facts. yea if the facts are actually true the might chage. and let me tell you one more thing this world doesn't have one single religion that has actual facts.

I have read the Da Vinci Code (however, Dan Brown's Angels and Demons is a much better book).
The Da Vinci Code is a fast paced book based on relegious controversies regarding the children of Jesus Christ. I think Dan Brown made a lot of money in fact millions and got away with it rather lightly. Considering the fact what happened to Salman Rushdie.
The Da Vinci Code has opened new avenues to authors who want to make money using religion as a tool.
The facts mentioned in the book might be real (but not 100%) as Dan claims there is a lot of wild fiction, assumptions (in fact sometimes i found the story a bit hilarious).

I am disturbed by the fact that such a poorly written book with so many historical inaccuracies has been accepted as fact by so many people. And the more people condemn it, the more money Dan Brown makes.

I find it very disturbing that people cannot come to grips with the fact that the book is FICTION and fiction cannot be used as a basis to question Christianity. Nor should it be used to justify anti Catholicism. If you are concerned about the basis of early Christianity then by all means look into it. But don't basis your conclusions on a novel.

i haven't read the book yet, but i watched the movie, and it really is relatively disturbing. after watching it I too found myself questioning religion and looking the last supper art to see if what they said was true. the points made are very coincidental. the thought that this might be true is a bit on the frightening side.

hello jess! I had read the book. Its true that it is indeed disturbing due to the facts being presented. For me, its still a work a fiction, driven by Dan Brown's creativity and wild imagination. Christians should always based their faith in the Word of God which is the Bible. Hope you will keep the faith! God bless!:))

i like the novel da vinci codee very much.after reading book,many times i scared at da vinci's paintings,just for curiosity.i never noticed that but after reading the da Vinci code;i down loaded the picture and started analyzing.i really appreciate the person who noticed this fact!

Ok, personally I think its great anytime anyone questions organized religion, but I must point out the Da Vinci Code is a work of fiction. Sure the descriptions of the paintings are accurate, but other than that it is fiction. Question the church, definatly, but do it based on historical fact. Sure some things presented in the Da Vinci Code are fact, but you must separate truth from fiction, because there is a lot of fiction in historical inacuracies in the book.

The Roman Catholic Church has always suppressed opposing views, but there isn't a single religion that does not. The Roman Catholic Church is no more or less guilty then any other sect.

What disturbs me is that the author presents it as "fact" rather than fiction. As a fiction book it is a fun read. Not well written, but fun nonetheless. But it is presented from the very start as being a factual book, which irritates me, because nothing could be further from the truth.

But at the same time, it has got a lot of people to discuss faith, where they would not even have considered doing so in the past. Even if they believe what is written in the Dan Brown book, they at least want to discuss it, and that way we have this great new opportunity to talk about beliefs and faith. So in that respect it can even be turned into a positive thing.

Yes I have read it. And honestly, I don't think its badly written. If it was, then people would not be so confused as to which facts are true or not.

What I don't like about it is the fact that the readers keep on forgetting that its a book written under the fiction section. Its not a historical book. Granted, some facts are true, but that's just what makes good authors stand above the rest, their ability to mesh facts with fiction to leave the readers breathless. But, its just FICTION. Nothing more.
