haven't read the book. Did see the movie the first weekend it came out, and it was alright. I'm not pissed that I dropped $8 to see it, but I'll proably wait for rentals on my next viewing.

As far as the whole "crisis of faith" issue, for me it's like this. You watch the movie (read the book) and then you have to make a decision. Is the movie (book) a work of fiction, or is the Bible a work of fiction? There are certain parts of the book that are probably true (There is a sect of self mutilation Catholics, did you know that?) but I think that is is fiction based on some very thin facts.
