I find this whole debate regarding the Da Vinci code and the Bible quite interesting. In my mind, both works are fiction (much like McKellan commented on last week).
I suppose this debate hinges on where each individual draws the cutoff line from fact to fiction. By this I mean, how many historical inaccuracies or myths can you tolerate in a work before you mentally shift it from the mental "factual" or "true" category, to the "fictional" category.
For people like me, who consider both the Bible and the Da Vinci code as fictional literature, there isn't really any conflict to be had.
