been catching a few synopsis around; looks like some replay of many stuff already written, esp a trend that started 10/15 yrs ago: the research is well done, but it's still fiction for the Great Public.
Not really literature in the academic sense.

just curious a.k.a. don't get it. people base what they read on the fact if it's a popular book or not instead on if they want to read it or not? is there something called fashionvictims among literature? that's quite interesting. why? and who cares?

it's trash. read the Illuminatus Trilogy or Focault's Pendulum

sometimes trash can be cool just for you

there's some serious underappreciation of trash going on here.
look, it's all about the yin & yang you know. if you don't know what is trash you don't know what is good. simple as that.

ha ha ha... that's true.
and sometimes i found ironical that so many people say "i won't listen to this" or "read this" or "watch this movie" just becouse it's hype and so many people have done it... when actually the hypiest thing is to be an "intellectual-anty-hype"...
should i have used the "//" for irony??

funny is that sometimes the yin is the yang and the yang is the yin and so you're stuck in between
(bad rhyme sorry)

yes the factions exist - but it doesnt tell you about the other organisations that are out there - the world is a sinister place where freedom is precieved but not given

I think my sister summed it up quite well - "A book for people with no imagination who can't read"
She does work in publishing though.

it's written perfect for a movie
- discipler0
as kezza said... pure fiction. it's unfortunate that so many are being duped and treating it like its history.

i'm confused. are you talking about the bible? if so than i agree.
- Mudbone0
However. Anyone do any research after they read the book. It is not noted anywhere in the bible that Mary Magdalene was a prostitute. It's also funny that the Catholic church threw out the gospel of Thomas because they didn't agree with it. After 18 years of being raised as a Catholic I came to the realization that the Catholic Church is an institution based on money and its full of shit. The same can be said for many other christian religions.

i don't think the "problem" is on religions, but on their churches.
- vwsung18t0
no need for religion, just don't be a jerk.
