Any story that attacks traditional Christianity is bound to cause hysteria. It is targetable theme. Basically like any other traditional religion, it does not take well open discussion. Many Christians including myself have managed to harmonize the fiction and the facts very well. People should take this film as it is:a story based on real institutions and legendary events some based on evidence and others simply raised. Why is it hard to allow for the possibility of different accounts regarding the life of Jesus and Christianity as a whole? Is Jesus' humanity not as important as his divinity?
I think many people, not just religious critics, missed one important point about this book. Dan Brown's re-emergence of the femininity theme and the ritual of the feminine goddesses during Paganism. The fact that our society consisted once of a balanced hierarchal structure. Unfortunately the most debated issue was the human condition of Jesus and the insinuation that he was married to Mary Magdalene and left a child. The sad thing is that the most fascinating piece of discussion was lost to the trivial debate of religious righteousness and heretic indictment. As inhabitants of this planet and its many cultures, the majority of us are not ready to experience the entire reality of our majestic existence and that is something worth pondering.
