Iz:Are your beliefs "profaned" by Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code"? Terry recently indicated that he was close to 'taking a walk' from TT due to the absence of real engagement between participants. What would you you would consider to be "profaning" of another's beliefs? I've critiqued DM epistemology. I've not mocked his claim to prophetic office whereas others have. Were they employing "profanity" as you see it? Will you raise the level of response above 'good grief' and 'I could throw up'?
