As a symbologist, Robert Langdon has a wealth of academic knowledge that helps him view the world in a unique way. Now that you’ve read The Da Vinci Code, are there any aspects of life/history/faith that you are seeing in a different light?

I feel that it has strenghtened my belief that the Catholic church made religion what it is, which is whatever they want it to be. And there are those true to the original faith.

And what, pray tell, is the Original faith?
Monophysitism? Nestorianism?
Actually, Original would imply earlier or the first or (as Belbo puts it in Foucault's Pendulum: when originals no longer exist, the last copy is the original) Are we now back to Judaism?
Are you referring to the Universal Church as the Original faith?
Please...

I mean the original from the bible. Pagan religions existed before of course, and other's too. I just woke up, but isn't the Torah, the old testament of the bible?

yes, it is...
but it doesn't mean this is the "original" religion... nor the first or the true one...

You can go pre-Sumerian for earlier religions.

Yes, you are correct, people worship anything and everything since the dawning of time. I'm a Christian, but I love nature too, I like the Priory of Sion's ideas. (the whole sacred female thing, sounds right to me.)

well, if you like the "whole sacred female thing", you should know that the worshpip of the Goddess (or "anything and everything") was in full force about "the dawn of time"...
listen to Dazzle and check it out... it's pretty interesting stuff...

The original from the Bible? Do you mean the original from the old Testament (Torah---aka: Jewish religious beliefs) or the new , which is pretty much Roman Catholic Christianity (or, the pre-schismed and reformed version!)
