[Apologetics] DaVinci Code is not the problem

[Art Kelly]

Marty, 

You wrote, "Every bookstore that carries the book also
carries three other books refuting it."

This is just NOT true.

There is a HUGE section on the DaVinci Code NOW in
book stores--Borders, Barnes & Noble, etc.--with 90%
of the books in sync with the theme of the book.

Definitely NOT three years old news.

And of course, the movie is opening a whole NEW
audience. Maybe you didn't see that it achieved the
2nd highest opening for a movie in the history of the
world! I sent you the article that reported on this.
