I doubt many religious are worried about Brown's notions being taken as fact. I do think the negative reaction to The DVC is the result of anger over its providing a thin veneer of respectability for flaunting of deeply offensive distortions, if not open ridicule of Christian beliefs. And it seems exclusively aimed at Christians. You won't find any shows on the History Channel aimed specifically at disproving Islam, Judaism, or other major religions.Rationalizing it as "only a novel" is a weak defense. If you call someone's mother a vile name, saying "I was only kidding?" isn't likely to stem an angry response.

I mean really, it is just a movie. Did you think that Raiders of the lost ark was a slap int he face to non-christians? Maybe you thought 2001 was a slap in the face to paleontology.

Its quite a commonly held viewpoint that Jesus married Mary.
And I also don't see how whether or not he did is really central to the beliefs of christianity.
Even William Blake wrote about Jesus' visit to Britain... "and did those feet..."
that Jesus married Mary.Maybe widely held among a very small fringe cult of bizzare reprobates but not beyond. Not only is the suggestion repugnant to Christians on its face it is simply counter to the very nature which is revealed of Jesus.These kinds of heresies end up making the Saviour of Mankind out to be some Hippie guru knocking up his gullible disciples.What kind of man,knowing he was going to die before his child would be born,then conceives one leaving the woman a widow with an infant and especially in that society?It is inconceivable first of all that Almighty God would copulate with a human being.That is about the most grotesque image of abuse i can imagine and coming from the loving creator it is simply totally beyond the furthurmost extreme of absurdity.The idea seems to have been formulated by French Monarchists who sought to add some trump to their aims to regain political power so they linked themselves with the Most High God by blood descent with this base farse and corrupt and depraved men make sport and profit from it,wow big suprise there.LOL.

First, wasn't it god who impregnated the virgin (and apparently 14 years old) Mary?
If Jesus was god, the who was god?
I have never figured how Jesus kind of inherited the god part.
Lastly, why would it be repugnant to christians if Jesus had a sex life, since, if we are made in god's image, the presumably god has a sexual side. It does seem to be a common way of propagating almost every species.
The whole matter is only ridiculous. if jesus had brothers or not, or was it married or was he really the son of a virgin...
Everyone is entitle to his own view, and what you take for disrespect is only bigotry.
The Catholic church should first started to sell their wealth and pomp and their chachemir clothes and their fancy silks, and live like JC told them to do.
That would be a ground to be offended. No more no less.
