If you'd have bothered to read my original question, you'd have noted that I referred not to the story, but to the theories espoused by the book which, as most observers are aware, are based on serious research carried out by many people, famously Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh, who wrote 1982 book The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail. Now, whether one considers the published results of such research to be fact or fiction is a matter for each to decide; I am agnostic on the subject. I am merely asking the views of someone who purports to be a serious Christian.
Serious research, my arse!
"Holy Blood, Holy Grail" is also based on numerous other theories/conspiracies that have been around for hundreds of years.
Next you'll be saying that Freemasonry is descended from "The Knights Templar" just because you read it in a book that someone had "Seriously Researched"!

They are your views, but telling people to grow up because they acknowledge that there are other views on this planet other than yours strikes me as being rather childish.

Wendi love, (I know your a bloke) The Da Vinci Code is indeed based on some serious research. Much to Dan Browns embarrasment he failed to check the authenticity of said research as a simple google shows up the fact that three of the basic "facts" he based his story on were proven to be an elaborate deception some years ago. Thus any findings on the church can be ignored as they were based on a false premise. HTH.
I am not qualified to give the above advice!

Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time

Anyway, what do you think about the theories espoused in the story "Da Vinci Code"? Is the Catholic church a load of old b0llocks after all?
On the one hand you acknowledge that "The Da Vinci Code" is a work of fiction and then go on to mention the theories espoused in that said work of fiction.
So, I rest by my previous statement. It (The Da Vinci Code) is a work of fiction. You tried to divert my assertion by mentioning a completely different work of in your words "Serious Research" in a later retort.

Personally I don't care, because I am not supporting these theories myself, which is something that one or two people on here can't seem to grasp.

Now, grow up.
You are struggling Churchill.
I think you'll find that right at the start, in the opening post, I talked of "the theories espoused in the story "Da Vinci Code".
Nowhere have I suggested anywhere that I support those theories.
Nowhere have I suggested that I thought the story itself was anything other than fiction.

Prove it. What Dan Brown says is the absolute truth. I believe every word in the Da Vinci code, in its literal sense. Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene and Jesus had a child. I am directly descended from that lineage, I am your saviour. The words are there in black and white. My majesty is irrefutable, I am your Lord and master, bow down before me fu*kface.

The only problem is that everyone here knows you're a looney and your views are about as useful as NuLabour. Other than that, nice work, keep it up (if you can get it up, are you old enough now for physical relationships or is it still just you and your hand?)
