The Da Vinci Code
(DAN BROWN)
This is a book categorised as fiction and still claims to reveal facts. This itself is absurd. You can prove fiction by facts but not vice versa. The writer has referred to the Dead Sea Scrolls to prove things which, allegedly took place later. The question is whether a writer, a publishing company or a movie producing entity, has the rights to cheat the whole world by inventing something and then making you believe that it is discovery. Ofcourse everyone knows that so many persons, who later on became prophets or harbingers of particular religions or sects or outfits, were ordinary mortals and , on many instances, were persecuted by their contemporary rulers or the majority religion of their time. Later on, the persecutors themselves, out of fear of the providence or of guilt, deify those persons. So what actually happens is someone who intended nothing in particular, is persecuted, ostrasiced and then deified. That is the case with all messiahs of religion. Here the author has made commercial use of the vulnerability of a particular religion for adverse criticism and made fame and money. So we can expect this type of books about, not only christianity, but about other religions soon.
