Re “ ‘Da Vinci Code’ Now a Tool to Win Christian Converts,” May 11
I don’t know why some churches are worried that people would think Christianity is a sham just because of “The Da Vinci Code.” I mean, we have our Christmas tree (a Druidic symbol worshiped during the winter solstice) and eggs at Easter (Oester, a pagan goddess worshiped during the spring equinox festival, when village children would hunt for colorful eggs).
You wanted proof that Christianity is more than a religion cobbled together from various others by powerful men in Rome who needed to control the masses? Sorry, can’t give you that. You’ll just have to have faith.
