Questions about The Da Vinci Code

[shadowmaster]

In general its correct. Most Wiccans do practice magic, we often refer to it as "prayer with props".

Can you give an example?

Shadowmaster is not trying to criticize, but is interested.

Interrapax has also began to show signs of Shadowmasters split personallity, he thinks it might be infectious..

Much of what Dan Brown wrote was wrong. Whether intentional or not, I cannot say. The fact his rather not-so-great book has been so popular and become a major movie, speaks to his having touched a nerve with people - particularly conspiracy theorists.

Does it further paganism? Nope. If anything, once the inaccuracies are exposed it would weaken the cause.

Does it destroy christianity/ Nope, same reason above.

To be honest, I don't think it was meant to. I think the sole intent of the book was to sell and make money for the author - and in that it achieved its goal.

what else is greed for?

This is very late in the game, I know, but it is my understanding that Dan Brown (in addition to the book about the bloodline of Christ theory) used gnostic forms of Christianity and the gnostic gospels as inspiration for The Da Vinci Code, not paganism. This becomes especially apparent in the two other books that deal with the main character of Da Vinci Code. So really, paganism has nothing to do with it at all.
