I've refused to read the book for some time and voiced my displeasure that a family member was reading it. That family member, after reading the book, called it a crock. There is no way that a film can clean up the errors completely. It's going to confuse more people and really, the studio that releases it should be boycotted.

If you haven't read the book, you really have no right to comment on it's content and especially call for banning.

I have read it and wasn't struck by lightening. It's a good read which should cause more to rush to their bibles and other sources if only to satisfy their curiosity and clear up any conflicts. And, though it's been said many, many times before and apparently needs to be said again, it's FICTION.

No, its fictionalized reality. Fiction is where things are entirely made-up. DISTORTION would be the correct word here given that various things like Opus Dei and Mary Magdalene and Constantine the Great are certainly real, and what is said about them here is presented as truth.

You know, if they were going to make his other two books into movies - Deception Point and Digital Fortress - FR would be the complete opposite. Those two books are completely against the government and what happens when they get too much power. But guess what, they are also fiction...If the people here actually read his books, you'd find that they are just fun with nice plot twists.

I didn't ask for a ban. I recommended boycotting. There is a difference.

L. Ron Hubbard's books are fiction, too. And Robert Heinlein. It doesn't stop fools from believing otherwise or turning them into cultic sources.
