If its real then why did Jesus the ultimate hide it himself...

i will sure go for it.... If its totally a friction then how come the events described in it were totally true....???

That is a large part of what makes the story so controversial. The author designed it to occur around actual events. I am sure I read in the fine print somewhere that it was all fiction. But, it could be true. The Church has changed alot over the Centuries, and what was to stop them from "adjusting" what the Bible said, or what the Bible authors wrote in the time of Jesus. To be more suited to their needs. Don't get be wrong, I believe the Bible, and what it teaches. I just don't trust the Church.

i agree with the last line you wrote...."i believe in what the bible teaches,but not in the church"...well-said,mate.i was also midly surprised by the fervour with which the Church panned the book and its contents.possibly they felt the ground under them slipping away.i mean,i follow a different faith altogether but we're taught to respect all faiths in equal measure and imbibe the best aspects from each.we have so many defamatory works written against our faith but nobody even flinches or raises a big hue and cry for that.we are confident in what we're taught and about its origins.possibly that's why we don't care two hoots about anything like this.
