"What Do You Do with a Chocolate Jesus?" is the funny and
skeptical, yet genuine exploration of the Christian history they
don't teach in Sunday school. It finds humor, irony, and occasional
insight amid the inconsistencies, absurdities, hypocrisies, and
flat out weirdness that too often passes for eternal truth. Like a
history of religion as done by The Daily Show, it humorously
explores the facts, the history, and the big ideas in an engaging
and entertaining story. Pitting actual Scripture against pious
propaganda, Thomas Quinn treks through chapter and verse of the New
Testament, explores the sordid saga of medieval beliefs (including
End-of-the-World panics and fights about what kind of stuff Jesus
was made of), and reveals some of the shocking attitudes of
America's founders toward religion. It isn't always pretty, but
it's usually good for a laugh. If war is too important to leave to
the generals, religion is too important to leave to the preachers.
Skeptics need evangelists, too.
