Why did God turn Lot's wife into a pillar of salt? Were there no other seasonings available? Why don't we know anything about the early years of Jesus? Did someone lose his baby book? Who reported the desert encounter between Jesus and Satan? Jesus-or Satan? And why does the Holy Spirit like to show up as a bird? As irreverent as the musical The Book of Mormon, Dr. Joe Wenke's YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING: A Radical Satire of The Bible is an engaging, provocative and hilarious investigation into the bestselling book of all time. Written to "cause trouble" cultural arsonist Dr. Wenke, a keen observer of human gullibility, tempts readers to more closely examine the stories they think they know about the Bible. Drawing upon the same pool of incendiary and cerebral humor as Bill Maher, Jon Stewart and the late, great George Carlin, YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING is a call for humor to restore our sanity and our ability to think for ourselves. Just as it was written in the Bible-or was it?
Editorial : Review A wonderful, biting, incisive "Cultural Arsonist'sLiteral Reading of The Bible" in plain English, with terrificdescriptions of the Old Testament God and the New Testament God(somewhat different individuals); very tongue-in-cheek, sarcastic and pointed, dedicated to Christopher Hitchens and Thomas Paine, both ofwhom would, I believe, really enjoy this book! I know I did. Having asense of humor is required to enjoy this book.-- Sarah HulcyWhat a way to point out the discrepancies and inconsistencies in the HolyBible. Just be prepared! The author investigates every important eventin the Book and gives his opinion in an outspoken, provocative,ironical, often hilarious, often very sarcastic tone. Atheists will have a lot of laughs; if you're religious, have a sense of humor, and are"open-minded," you might have fun; if you strongly believe in thesanctity of the Bible, you'd better not read this "oeuvre." -- Jean-Paul AdriaansenThis is hilarious!
could have been longer and great but great all the same. Great purchase, fast delivery, packaged well, incredibly beautiful, BIG images, highly recommend.. The discussed concepts will help you draw closer to God as you discover more about how and why you relate to Him the way you do.
On a personal level, this book engages two of my most passionate areas of study. But Martin escapes and plans his REVENGE.
I have read Redwall, Matimeo, Salamandastron, Mossflower, and Martin the Warrior so far, and my two favorites are Mossflower and Martin the Warrior. So claim your adulthood. While the research is predominantly based upon secondary sources, as is appropriate in a "popular" history, the narrative is quite easy for the non-lawyer as well as the legal professional to read and profit from--no mean accomplishment in legal history volumes. The second is an account of all his ambitions, resentments, grudges, deeds, and judgements on everyone and everything he has encountered in
