Don't tell anyone, but on the pagan day of the sun god Ra, I kneel at the foot of an ancient instrument of torture and consume ritualistic symbols of blood and flesh. ...And if any of you care to join me, come to the Harvard chapel on Sunday, kneel beneath the crucifix, and take Holy Communion.
Dan BrownIt seemed there was always a close correlation between true believers and high body counts.
Dan BrownOh, this faithless world! Someone must deliver them. You. If not you, who? You have been saved for a reason. Show them the old demons. Remind them of their fear. Apathy is death. Without darkness, there is no light. Without evil, there is no good. Make them choose. Dark or light. Where is the fear? Where are the heroes? If not now, when?
Dan Brown...the word occult, despite conjuring images of devil worship, actually means โhiddenโ or โobscured.โ In times of religious oppression, knowledge that was counterdoctrinal had to be kept hidden or โoccult,โ and because the church felt threatened by this, they redefined anything โoccultโ as evil, and the prejudice survived.
