I’m Fine With God…It’s Christians I Can’t Stand

Happy Weekend! For those of you who are off from work, I thought I would pop in and post about the most interesting book that I came across at work yesterday. Bruce Bickel and Stan Jantz have written an un-apologetic rant against Christians they describe as "very much like the Pharisees of Jesus’ day". This new 2008 original trade paperback release caught my eye while shelving this afternoon and after just a quick glimpse I just knew I would have to blog about it right away.
Bickel and Jantz who have written over 50 books together, many of then Christian themed have decided it’s time for real Christians to stand up and condemn the outrageous behavior of their more colorful Christian counterparts, such as the Rev. Fred Phelps (the "Got Hates Fags" Folks) and others who clearly seem to lose sight of Jesus’ message of love and compassion for your fellor humans, rather than a humorousless doctrinaire existence of rigid, inflexible rules. I’m Fine With God…It’s Christians I Can’t Stand comes Highly Recommended.
Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend and I will be back in this space on Monday night to share more books that have recently crossed The Thin Red Line.

Sounds like an interesting Read* Hopefully Bush his Brainwashed Flock will wake up to the Fundamentalists in their Churches* It’s the Forcing of Religious Laws on other People who Don’t Share yer Beliefs that is the Root of all the Crap going down in the world right now*
Sadly there are so many Believers who checked their Brains at the Door when they strolled into Church i ain’t holding out much Hope* it’s the Believers within that are going to have to Peacefully make the Changes to the Baloney being Foisted on others*
;)) Peace*

This sounds really interesting. I am going to pick this up. A good rant is can be a good read on occasion.

Definitely intrigues me with the title and the concept, adding it to my constantly growing, but not really shrinking To Be Read list.
