Does God have a sense of humor?
Your article is pretty much on target, as far as the book is concerend: A page-turner that turns more and more towards the ridiculous as the end of the book is approached. I don't believe that there is anything new in the book but the combination of popular thriller and serious religious underpinnings (and simply being at the right time at the right place) resulted in the "Da Vinci Phenomenon".
It is amusing to see how some religious folks see the book and movie as an insult to their mythological beliefs. At the same time, some not-so-religious people try to derive some insights from a work of pure fiction. I guess there is a god and she has a sense of humor after all...or maybe not.
