There were protesters on my campus, handing out pamphlets, asking us to sign this online petition to stop production of the movie. I found it highly amusing, and considered printing out some Flying Spaghetti Monster pamphlets and standing out their with them.

<i>The DaVinci Code</i> is a fictional story. However, the ideas in it are based on researched evidence. For the factual basis of the book, see <i>Holy Blood, Holy Grail</i> by three people who I forget at the moment. I read about 1/4 of it before I realized that I don't give a damn.

<i>The DaVinci Code</i> is a good book, and I loved it when I first read it, but now I couldn't care less about it. An interest in the ideas portrayed in the book presuppose the conclusion that Christianity is worth such in-depth analysis and effort, and, for me, it isn't. So meh.
