It's only when it's OTHER THAN Christians that you speak out, but if it's something DENIGRATING CHRISTIANS or CHRISTIANITY, then there's not a peep of protest in contrast to your remarks about the offense of CHRISTIANS on the DaVinci code.

You mistake my amusement for "speaking out"? There's your problem. I'm amused that Christians (and not just here, I got an ear full last weekend from my family) are all upset over a work of fiction.

I guess some people just prefer to feel victimized.

Exactly what part of the story do you feel denigrates Christians or Christianity?

Did you make ANY comments when Mel Gibson's Passion of Christ was being lambasted?

Nope, that's not my job. I'd guess Mel was offended all the way to the bank on that one.

You SHOULD have asked, "What part of the story DIDN'T denigrate Christians or Christianity? It would be easier to answer.

font size="+7" NONE OF IT!!!!

It's utterly laughable that people like you who have never cracked open the Bible in your life should be taling about this subject at all. If you had read any of it, you wouldn't have asked such an ignorant question as that.

Go and read the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John and you will find the answer to that question yourself. I won't even have say a word.

Of course it isn't. You job is to defend anti-Christian bigotry. And you're doing an excellent job by the way. On the your second idiotic statement: So it's okay to denigrate a person if he makes money from it,....right?

No

That's because you're soooooo broad-minded and so much more "hep to the jive" than all of us Christian neanderthals.

Amused?
Like "Look at the amusing children playing"?
Amused like amused by low humor?
Amused like from a superior position?
Amused like Thurston Howell III at the hijinx of the lower classes attempting to think?
"Oh my, aren't they amusing. Ha haha Ha."
You are amused.
How interesting.

The trouble is that sometimes in life we need friends not merely neighbors who seethe quietly.

A good thing to remember under all curcumstanceses.

Dan Brown is Jewish?

Funny, his autobiography says that he was raised Christian.

Dan Brown doesn't speak for Jews.

Anti Semitism is diminishing in the US, but is still real, regardless of Dan Brown.

The one thing I agree with you on is that anti Semitism is no excuse for anti Christianism, which is also real.

Sorry, that's incorrect. Thanks for playing.

There were Christian neanderthals? Check your timeline...

There are people here in Minnesota who happen to take the DaVinci Code seriously. To the point of carrying more weight than the Bible.
