I've read the Book and parts of it are true. Most good authors mingle fact and fiction. It makes for a good read. I've also read Digital Fortress, Deception Point, and Angels & Demons. So when The DaVinci Code was issured, I was eager to read it, and I did 3 years ago.
He poses many good scenareos about how history may have been. If you look back, most accepted history has been written by the dominant society of the time. Other histories are destroyed along with the culture that lost. A good example would be the Inqisition where people were tortured for not believing the way the Church said they should. Take a look at what has happened to Scotland and Ireland when the British took over.
Afganistan, Somalia, etc etc. Only difference now is we have CNN and other news agencies looking in on things. Why was the Library of Alexandria really burned down?
Basically all Dan Brown has done is show us a different way to look at religion and it's history.
I think this recent brouha over the book is fear that organized religion will lose it's influence and power. Look at the religious uproar in Iraq. The Sunnis and Sh'ite groups. Everyone is right and everyone is wrong.
Remember, it's just a book, a book of fiction in fact. A really good read.

Of course I do. It's right there where you can see it. You can buy it and you can go see the movie whenever. How could you not believe in something you can look right at? THat's like saying do you believe in Yahoo Answers. I'm looking at it right now, of course I believe in it.

First of all, it's DA VINCI CODE.
Second of all, it's a FICTIONAL book.
Although it's an interesting and addiction story, it goes way too far with its ideas.
