Dan Brown had only some theories which he wrote down. Some are quite possible, and some not! That's all!
I'm not that close to religion and I don't even know if I believe in Jesus Christus as the son of God but I believe that there were a joung guy who did good things and gave people something to believe! The question if he had a wife and a child shouldn't change the facts he did or the faith in him!
So this book/movie is only an interesting theory in my opinion and if you believe or not or if it's really(!) important to you and your faith that Christus was a single is up to yourself.

That's the exact same case with Dogma aswell, They showed Jesus (who was actually black) with many brothers and sisters and various other changes to the story. Christians got really offeneded by that too.
Kamui:
Why are they offended? i mean.. if their belief for him is really strong, it won't change them.. and if they are really offended, that means it's true! like guilty. because, even if many people doesn't believe in their beliefs why would they care about what others think? Am i making any sense?

If you TRULY believe in your faith this movie should not affect you at all, It should just be a form of entertainment like any other movie. Christians need to lighten up and learn what Entertainment is, They get too annoyed too much. You can't deny it either, Movies, Books, Anime Cons, WARS!!!

I agree with Vex Net (your point of view was well said). It annoys me that people will ban things just because they might alter peoples faith. The catholic church has banned Philip Pullman's books, His Dark Materials because they show the church in a bad light which is rediculous because it's set in an alternate reality!
Anyways back on topic, I've read the book and hope to see the film soon, I enjoyed it, it was a good story and I didn't think for a second it could be true, but then I don't think the bible is true either.
People should all be given the choice to see it and if you think it might offend you, don't go to see it, don't try and ban it and ruin it for everyone else. People can be so selfish! (I'm not talking about anyone on this site, just people in general who protest stuff like this.)
OK rant over! Sorry about the long post!

I heard the movie wasn't that good, and some people were wondering why there was all the hype about it, and it was a huge disappointment. But that's just what I heard.
My parents are letting me watch it and read the book (and we are Catholic), because we know that's it's fiction. The reason why the Church is against it is because some people who aren't Catholic/Christian, misinterpret the book/movie as real because they're not Catholic/Christian and they don't understand or whatever, and they may get the wrong idea. But as long as you know that's it's fiction and not real and it won't alter your beliefs in any way, by all means, there's no problem in reading the book or watching the movie.
