As Wash would say, "Im confused ..."

How is Dan Brown a 'pointman' for Christianity?

The book, if anything, states Paganism as a true relgion.

Doesnt it? It states the Christian faith is simply a combination of various ancient relgions, such as the Egyptian Cult of Ra, and suggests that Christ had no supernatural powers or was ressurected or was the son of a supreme being.

It also state the Christian relgion as a deceptive and secertive cult that uses its power for its own uses rather than any divine purpose.

I just dont see any sort of 'pointman -ish' things in his book

Nah, you're missing the point, this has nothing to do with me.

Okay, point for the defense:

1. DB is a pointman for the Xtian right, this is pretty much as established fact. This is why they love him. It's the subtle subversive messages in his books. This is why he gets published, its his connections through some Xtian underworld, I don't understand it fully, but I know that this is how he is connected. It's not like he sent a script in and some editor said "AH, yes, this is what I've been waiting for" no no no. - I'm not sure which tin foil hat you're wearing, but the Xtian Right loathes D.Brown. I don't know who they detest more, him or J.K. Rowling, but in no way what so ever do they appreciate his work. Yeah, he writes about Christianity, ( Catholicism to be more accurate ) but there's no subversive messages here.

2. I've been trying to figure out why you support Bush. You seem conservative, he doesn't. I'm baffled. - This post was started about Dan Brown, his book and the upcoming movie. Not everything has to be related to politics, or Bush. Try thinking beyond such things, once in a while

3. The Xtians support Bush because he protects them from the liberal onslaught of yuck, that I understand. - To some degree, I'm sure that's true. At least from their perspective. Again, what's w/ the politics?

4. You>The DaVinci Code>Xtian Right>Bush, and finally I had a popcorn trail which led me from you to Bush. I'm not a Christian, so the trail ends at the Da Vinci Code. I just liked the book. I also like Ron Howard and Tom Hanks, have ever somce SPLASH, even if our politics don't always coincide.

So, simple analysis, "Ah, Auraptor, member of the Xtian right, likes both Dan Brown and Bush." I could be wrong, but you can't deny it was a logical deduct given the facts at hand. - Either you're over medicating or under medicating, but let me s'plain something to you..I'm not a member of the Xtian right. Conservative? Yep. Christian? Nope. Your logic is faulty. Sorry.

Ps. My mention of politics was just a reflection of I didn't make the connection of you to bush politically, and DB offered no politics, so there would be no connecting link there. huh ?

People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

What kills me about the Da Vinci code is that none of the stuff he talks about is new, there is a much better book that came before called Holy Blood Holy Grail

The extreme Christian Right hates everyone except the extreme Christian Right, ask Cartoon, he'll tell you all about it, before tying you too a stake and setting you on fire of course.
