So the anti-Christian stuff offended people, then?

I really have no problem with fiction exploring "conspirational horseshit" as a premise.

[(Anonymous)]

Exploring it as a premise is obviously fine. But I think the book itself takes it seriously, and people reading it certainly did, and that was really annoying. Not so much because it was anti-Christian, but because it had no relation to reality and was a load of nonsense that didn't deserve to be taken seriously.

Nayrt

I wouldn't necessarily call it anti-Christian, per se. It's just that some people find the idea that Jesus was very human (so human that he got married and had sex!) to be blasphemous and offensive.

[(Anonymous)]

Okay, well, I definitely don't care about that. lol I mean, I get why very religious people wouldn't like it, but that's probably not the target demographic anyway. I never understood the intense backlash to Da Vinci Code, but if it was related to the "blasphemy", oh well, c'est la vie.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't consider it blasphemous but I also don't think there's any evidence for it, and there's certainly not any reason to believe that the Catholic Church has been engaged in a plot to conceal evidence about it for 2000 years

It's fucking stupid, anon

[(Anonymous)]

Haha, well, there's not a lot of evidence for a lot of stuff in the Bible, you know - including the Flood, and all those stories about the Jews fleeing Egypt and the seven plagues.

[(Anonymous)]

Sure sure.

[(Anonymous)]

I mean, are you equally outraged by religious fiction? If what bothers you is people taking stuff that blatantly is not true, to be true.

[(Anonymous)]

Religious fiction is a broad category. If it's something like Left Behind, yes that's just as stupid. But I think there's a difference epistemologically between positing a relatively detailed historical conspiracy on the one hand, and positing the existence of God on the other. So if it's just fiction that's religious in theme, that doesn't bother me - any more than a book would bother me if it dealt with the themes of Da Vinci Code without positing their truth. Actually I really enjoy conspiracy fiction.
