Leading Sheep to the Slaughter
I have often contended that simply saying that Dan Brown's book and now movie is a work of fiction was not going to prevent it from preaching "truth" to the masses. This poll seems to indicate that despite the "work of fiction" a good number of people are buying in to the most outrageous "truth" claims in the book. The poll apparently doesn't even address some of the more pressing points Brown tries to make about Christianity, for example: Christians didn't believe Jesus was divine until the council of Nicea, that same council chose the canon of scripture,and that the vote at that council on Jesus divinity was close. All of these things are demonstrably false, but presented as historical fact...so when people put the Da Bonchi Code down after reading it and suddenly believe that Jesus had kids, I am guessing these blatant historical lies about Church history are also easily ingested as absolute fact.
I'm tempted to have T-shirts made...so much so, that I did:

Something I like to say to Protestants: The Reformation is over....and you won! The problem is, you didn't know when to stop protesting, and look what happened!
