Weren’t the Catholic Church kind of good guys in Angels and Demons?

I wish someone in Hollywood had the imagination to film R.A. Wilson & Robert Shea’s ‘Illuminati Trilogy’ instead of Dan Brown’s bilge.
Far funnier on religion, conspiracy theories & just about everything else. Having taken a few of the ideas up already I’m sure KLF would come out of retirement to do the sound track too.

That’s all well and good for them to not like the movie or the book as everybody is entitled to their own opinions, but the fact still remains that both Angles & Demons and The DaVinci Code are fictional books. As in, NOT FACT.

I fail to see why it’s SUCH a big deal… If people are dumb enough to believe EVERYTHING they read in a book, just because it uses factual people/places/things/etc then, in my opinion at least, they deserve to be lumped into the same group of idiots that all ‘true Christians’ are in.

Also, minor point of contention: The Illuminati are not trying to fix the papacy. They are trying to completely destroy the Catholic church by blowing up Saint Peter’s Basilica. Just FYI.

I loved the way the catholic church were banging on about “A book full of lies and fairy tales” (or some such).

So that’ll be the bible, then?

But Angels & Demons is absolutely the worst book I’ve ever read… CERN even has a web-page devoted to debunking some of the stuff in there…”No, CERN doesn’t have a space plane…”

Well, I cannot see anything wrong in the ban: they have the right to allow or not filming inside their churches.

In addition, Dan Brown opus is indeed a pot-pourri of esoteric and religious lies. Does anyone think the opposite?

I am an atheist, but I have to defend whoever I think is right, sorry.

¡Peace!
