Christians protesting The DaVinci Code have given the book and the movie more free publicity than the author and the studios could ever have hoped to have been able to afford. I'm sure they thank you.
As a Christian, I take a very different view from the boycotters -- I see DVC as an opportunity to bring discussion about Christianity to the surface in a way and at a detailed level never seen in the modern secular era.
My motto, and maybe I'll get a T-shirt to this effect, is:
"Secular America, PLEASE DO go see The DaVinci Code. And please do give in to that sophomoric impulse you'll feel to come looking for folks like me to rub my nose in it so I can straighten you out."
So I hope DVC turns out to be the highest-grossing movie of all time.
I thank you...

Actually, I heard that Opus Dei, the catholic organization slammed in the movie, has even welcomed the publicity.
Visits to their place in the Vatican have skyrocketed. An opportunity to tell people about the truth...
