.....dedicated to the proposition that Dumbledore is not dead.
Some people, one, take this stuff waaaay too seriously, and two, have far too much time on their hands, but still the site author makes some darn good points, IMO.

Sometimes "throwing up ones hands and walking away"...
....is the only sensible thing to do.
This is in response to the head of Lincoln, UK's Anglican cathedral which has accepted -- in lieu of thirty pieces of silver -- an estimated $180,000 for that church to double as Westminster Abbey in the filming of "The DaVinci Code", per CNN.com.
Oh, he acknowledges the book's storyline is "farfetched and heretical" but why should that be an insuperable obstacle?
According to him, the fact the book has "touched the public imagination" is justification for permitting the church of which he's in charge to be used to promote farfetched heresy.
Of all the trashy pieces of fictional theological tripe (barring the Book of Mormon, another work of fiction that has regrettably "touched the imaginations" of too many people), "The DaVinci Code" has to be among the worst, with the potential to do massive harm.
What Tom Hanks can be thinking of, to involve himself in this thumb-in-the-eye to the LORD, I can't imagine. Envy of Mel Gibson, perhaps, and last year's blockbuster "Passion of the Christ"?
Whatever, it's deplorable.
