"From the Crusades, to the Inquisition, to American politics - the name Jesus had been highjacked as an ally in all kinds of power struggles. Since the beginning of time, the ignorant had always screamed the loudest, herding the unsuspecting masses and forcing them to do their bidding. They defend their worldly desires by citing Scripture they did not understand. They celebrated their intolerance as proof of their convictions. Now, after all these years, mankind had finally managed to utterly erode everything that had once been so beautiful about Jesus."
-- Dean Galloway in Dan Brown's "The Lost Symbol" (p.327)
