Duh Vinci?
Okay folks, an update...
I'm into chapter four and there's not been a whole lot of anything to grab me thus far. Author Dan Brown is developing the storyline and some characters I assume. Those 'FACTS' listed before chapter one that I mentioned appear a bit sketchy. Most of what I can find on this 'secret order' differs considerably with the 'facts' Dan Brown gives - as far as the names of real historical people who were a part of it, and so on. Also, the sect of Catholicism that is mentioned is strongly opposing the 'facts' given on their history and dogma. So, I'm moving ahead taking all of this with a grain of sand and reminding myself that this is fiction. So far, so good.
Having said that, more of the leaders in the Catholic Church are calling for boycotts and now even mentioning lawsuits. Take a look at this article. I can't help but recall the international furor that erupted about the cartoons which reflected negatively the Nation of Islam and wonder where is the world's sympathy for misinformation about Christianity? Oh well, Jesus said the world would hate Him.
Chapter five... and my nagging issue is still: did he really sell a billion of these at $35 a pop?

I told you it was a quick read, and I told you I only paid 6 bucks for mine :)
I'm listening to the Namibia 2005 CD you all burned for me... I'm really glad to have a closer connection to you all this time around.
