The Da Vinci Code was not Christian. I'd eat my beret.

Subject matter vaguely related in a conspiratorial sense to Christianity, she means.

*points to "conspiratorial"*
I didn't like the Da Vinci Code (although I had to read it for school, so that may be part of it xp ; I doubt it, however) myself. The reasoning behind the concept seemed... a bit silly, to be honest.

Wow. For school?
And it really wasn't all that silly, (the 'what happened to Jesus part') but after that it was just ridiculous.

It was a very small and very private and very liberal school that I was quit of after like six months.
By 'silly' I didn't mean so much the reasoning behind the idea as the supposed ramifications thereof. I mean, honestly, would you want the Church ruled by a dynasty of Jesus' descendants, who according to the theory are not even divine in the first place - since it assumes that Jesus' inhuman nature was half-invented by the early Church, not an actual fact of his teachings?

Then good! xd
I didn't often get to hear that, alas. Especially not from my history teacher.

One does not know history if he does not know about Jesus.

He did know of Jesus, but he didn't know history anyway. I think he was even planning to be a monk, at some point. But then he gave up, thank goodness.

He would have made a creepy monk, courtesy of bad horror movies and such, not an actual decent-devout-person-monk, such as appears in Romeo & Juliet. wink

My old history teacher had a business degree and is not currently teaching biology at a new school....
Maybe that is why I didn't pass AP American..

Yes, as in the vaguely attached to Christianity but not really sort of sense. I read it out of morbid curiosity since I liked Angels and Demons. But...meh. Too many non-historically correct things in a 'historically correct' book.
And suddenly a question struck me: What's the most awkward book you've read? For me, it was Lolita in seventh grade. sweatdrop Don't ask why, just know. I like it now, but then....
