That is nonsense. It is precisely those who are "secure in their own faith" who oppose this book and film. Exactly. The real issue is the people like Brown who want to paint Christ and the Bible as not neccessarily the absolute Truth and the only Way, and want to open up a more flexible path to salvation. In the end what they really want is a Christ who isn't going to challenge or threaten their lifestyle.

Good morning.
"In the end what they really want is a Christ who isn't going to challenge or threaten their lifestyle."
It could be said as well that many here really want a work of fiction that isn't going to challenge or threaten their lifestyle either.
I would think that if one is secure in one's faith, nothing that anyone else says or writes matters but the truth as the believer sees it.

If you know the real truth in your heart none of the rest of this crap matters. In the grand scheme of things what Dan Brown or any other author says about Christ is meaningless!
As they say here in the south "hit dog hollers".....me thinks we have more than a few doubters amongst us...
