Wait a sec, your avatar and siggy both honor the Pope but your favorite book is written by the same dude who wrote "The Da Vinci Code" which is anti-Christian and anti-Catholic?

Well I can see why betorh likes Angles and Demonds because most of it is about Vatican City, and Conclave.

Someone writes one book that riles up religious types (unjustifiably, might I add), and you crucify the guy for everything he's ever done? Wow.

:roll: I agree with Dave here. Yes, let's not JUDGE someone for one deed. I'm not Christian, but I do agree with their idea of not passing judgement. Be it on the author or the reader. So what if he likes the book? I think this topic was meant to be FUN, not turn into a religious zealot debate. I'm not Christian, but hey, the Bible makes for a good read. No reason to specifically target someone and ask questions they really don't have to answer to.

I wasn't judging him and I wasn't trying to have a big religious debate, either. I was simply asking a question because his answer slightly confused me. I'm SORRY!

Has anyone read Ha Jin? If not, shame on everyone! :lol: He's probably one of America's best writers. He won the National Book Award for Waiting. He has also been a Pulitzer Prize finalist for fiction twice, once for Waiting, and a second time for War Trash.

I haven't. I've never heard of him.
