Bad DaVinci Code Arguments

Here is a special sub-category of bad arguments: ones found in that Code book.

My favorite: if the Christians had adopted Gnosticism they would have avoided their obvious hatred of women.

Hah! Google the Gnostic texts and read for yourself that Gnosticism was very, very misogynistic. It viewed women in a much lower way than any reading of the orthodox texts can produce. The Dan Brown argument is not just wrong, but magically wrong in getting Gnosticism, history, and the Bible wrong.
