matt_in_ohio Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 [quote name='StMichael' date='Nov 28 2005, 07:36 PM']To invest money in a book that slanders your religion makes little sense. To invest money to help it get to the big screen, makes little sense. To invest time reading such tripe and then more attending seminars or talks about it, makes no sense at all. This is one book that can be judged by its cover and any Catholic who involves themselves in this should be absolutely ashamed of themselves.

morostheos Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 I read it, but primarily because my roommate in college read it and I wanted to be sure I would be able to refute the things it said if she had any questions, and to make sure she didn't take what it said as truth. oh, and I didn't buy it, I got it from the local library.

PadreSantiago Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 [quote name='annie' date='Nov 28 2005, 05:12 PM']You know,it was poorly written (the style) and a bit over dramatic. The premise of the story offended me. My sis in law (HEY Matt---she is a Kent State Grad and writes for the Toledo Blade) said "relax it is FICTION and a good story".. Well, how about I write a fictional story about, let's see, your mother being a closet child beater, and that in college she was a lesbian, and maybe that she had you out of wedlock, and maybe that your father was a molester, and molested you when you were little, and... oh-- would that be offensive? Hey-- it's just a FICTIONAL story---not true, but a real page-turner..... and it would offend LESS people in the world than the DaVinci Code could---- [right][snapback]802774[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Who told you?

toledo_jesus Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 [quote name='djc08' date='Nov 28 2005, 05:09 PM']I read it and enjoyed it. I also read The Ilumaati and enjoyed it too. I know that it is anti-Catholic but that doesn't mean I shouldn't read it. Luther's 95 Theses are anti-Catholic and I read those. [right][snapback]802848[/snapback][/right] [/quote] my examination of conscience asks me if I have read anti-Catholic literature. Just an interesting point, but how often do you see the distinction made to avoid those things that don't add to our faith? reading it to refute it is one thing, to enjoy it another. I hate this book. My mom borrowed one from somebody. It was the hardback. I took a dagger (yeah, I had a dagger lying around...for real) and cut the word "blasphemy" into it, then put the dust cover back on. I was in a [b]foul[/b] mood that day...my mom had used that "It's just a story" line on me...bah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annie Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 wow, that's dramatic, but I feel the same way. I agree, bah to the idea that it 'is just a fictional story' as it is offensive. Wow, if this were a 'fictional story' depicting Mohammad or something Muslim, there would be a Jihad on Dan Brown's dance card... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toledo_jesus Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 [quote name='inDEED' date='Nov 28 2005, 11:07 PM']It IS fiction. [right][snapback]803260[/snapback][/right] [/quote] but it's not pious fiction. it's blasphemous fiction. You realize that 1000 years ago Dan Brown would have been forcibly stopped from spreading his "story" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
