By Jim Searcy
Does it strike anyone as amusing how Mr. Searcy has states the title of a work of fiction and then entitles his work "LIES, Blasphemy, Antichrist Damnable Heresy, Dangerous, Demonic, Satanic"?
Also, when attacking a work, one should use its title "The DaVinci Code", not "DaVinci Code."

Yes, the book is fiction, but I get a kick out of how bend the Christian community got over it. 😆
Those who are weak in their faith, get upset about what other people say.

The foundation of the belief is weak if it requires such an unChristian response. Not only does it attack a work of fiction, it attacks those that read it, "The Da Vinci Code was written for those who love blasphemy, and those who do not know or care what blasphemy is."

I have not read the book but I thought the movie was good. But Jesus having a lineage was only a setup for the story. People make untrue setups for movies all the time, like "In a galaxy far far away".

I do not have an opinion as to whether or not Jesus was married, or whether he had children. The problem with the concept is that it threatens traditional mainstream Christianity. Almost any Christian that is not Mormon should be offended by the idea. Mormons, believe marriage to be a divine concept, as such Christ having a wife and procreating makes sense. We do not believe in Trinitarian doctrine either, and it is another problem for the concept of Jesus procreating. If Trinitarian doctrine is true, and Jesus procreated, the concept of "only begotten" becomes threatened.

DaVinci alomst falls into the category of "historical fiction," where gaps in teh historical record are filled by the authors knowledge/vision of historical figures. The difference is that its not told through the life of Christ, there is a 3rd character involved (Langdon).
Historical fiction is a fascinating genre. Its easy to see why people are captivated by it.
