DA VINCI CODE = cheap thrill

I just attended a talk about dan brown’s book and the extent of truth covered in there..
Now I find it a Cheap thrill and so ya'll ... be a fool no more!
Let me upset dan’s worshippers..

The Priory Of Sion- (he claims to be a secret society and seeks the maintain the goodness of the Bible) In truth, The priory of Sion was a secret society perpetuated by the anti-semitic trickster, Frenchman Pierre Plantard, this guy got together with his counterparts to make people believe the existence of this society and was later made to declare in Court that it was a HOAX! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priory_of_Sion

The glass pyramid at the entrance of the Lourve – he claims – consists of 666 panes of glass – n was part of an occultic movement.
The actual Lourve’s glass pyramid site states that it is made up of 673 glass panes; 603 diamond shaped and 70 triangular panes. http://www.louvre.or.jp/louvre/presse/en/activites/archives/anniv.htm

The Last Supper painting apparently has a woman on the right hand side of Jesus. This, Dan claims is Mary Magdalene, Jesus’s wife! Now, looking back at historical evidence, it was very common to paint young men in affeminate ways so because Leonardo did that, Dan simply saw a potential excitement in a twist to say that it was Mary Magdalene. All other factors aside- this was merely an artist’s painting so why the controversy with an artist’s impression.?? Also, Leonardo came into existence in 1452.. he wasn't close to being born during the Last Supper...

There’s a lot more I learnt but with 3 facts proving his book to be absolutely fiction I think we should start our own research instead of being taken in by an author who had insufficient research and distorts history. Knowledge and Faith goes hand in hand, we have been given wisdom to discern so make good of our God given talents!
