a news story Billions Change Religious Views Over The DaVinci Code "Why didn't we listen?" religous leaders lament. Cincinati, OH-- Church attendance all over the country dropped dramaticaly this past weekend, causing some to speculate that the Ron Howard directed movie starring Tom Hanks, "The Davinci Code," may be to blame. "Things were going along just fine until this movie came out, and then this past weekend, our attendance dropped in half," said Mort Jones, a local pastor. The DaVinci Code was based on a fictional book by Dan Brown, however Brown claimed that many of the religious elements of his book were based on research that he found to be accurate. Many church leaders were concerned that people would be swayed by Brown's claims, while others simply dismissed it as a sensationalist peice of fiction. "Why didn't we listen," exlaimed Roland Byers, another local pastor. "We totally dismissed the potential danger of this book, and now we are losing members because of it." Some still aren't alarmed. "They'll be back this Sunday," claimed Kevin Orlando, yet another local pastor. When asked how he was so certain of this, he simply said, "It happens all the time." posted
