[Always Right]

I've seen a couple of his coy comments and wondered if they were true or if he is playing to his potential audience. There's a projected third book, isn't there?

There is a pretty telling comment on Dan Brown's web page.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF CLERICAL SCHOLARS ATTEMPTING TO "DISPROVE" THE DA VINCI CODE?

Brown: "The dialogue is wonderful. These authors and I obviously disagree"

Dan Brown is clearly indicating he believes the blasphemy in his book.

Brown: "The dialogue is wonderful. These authors and I obviously disagree"

Dan Brown is clearly indicating he believes the blasphemy in his book.

If we look at the immediately preceeding answer we could alternately surmise that he disagrees that it is dangerous, heretical and anti-Christian.

And that the dialogue is wonderful for book and ticket sales. He's hit the jackpot.

IS THIS BOOK ANTI-CHRISTIAN?

No. This book is not anti-anything. It's a novel. I wrote this story in an effort to explore certain aspects of Christian history that interest me. The vast majority of devout Christians understand this fact and consider The Da Vinci Code an entertaining story that promotes spiritual discussion and debate. Even so, a small but vocal group of individuals has proclaimed the story dangerous, heretical, and anti-Christian.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

"Dialog" is newspeak for "compromise."

Notice that it is always the Left that wants to "open dialog" with conservatives, Americans who believe in traditional values, etc.
