A fair comment

"'Even if [The Da Vinci Code] is just fiction,' a student opined, 'it's still interesting to think about.'

"To which another student replied: 'Your mother's a whore.' And then, to the first student's stunned incredulity, he added, 'And even if that's just fiction, it's still interesting to think about....'"

Let me put it this way: propose me a theory of the development of Christianity that denies the divinity of Jesus, but respects the documents and accounts for the facts, and I will discuss it. I might even praise it - from an opponent's viewpoints, since my confidence in the historicity of the New Testament was the beginning of my conversion. But make up your facts, ignore data, pervert evidence, and use it all to give as disgusting and revolting a picture of Christian history as you possibly can, and do so for no better reason than making money, and I will treat you as the crook and the freak you are.
