Christianity is nothing more than the world's biggest book club. Obsessed with a single title. (Woman: Genesis 22 and judges II say human sacrifice is ok.) (Woman 2: Cool. I'm so sacrificing my boss!) The world is falling apart. Meanwhile, hundreds of millions of geeks pore over every word in a poorly edited anthology of hack writers. (Woman 3: No you're not. The new testament contradicts and trumps the old mean vengeful God thing.) If we really must tease out every detail one book... (Woman: It's one book. There is no contradiction! Anyway, Jesus never says not to do human sacrifice.) ...how about non-fiction? (Man: For the next week: Steve Coll's "ghost wars" or the new franzen?) (Man 2: I'd rather base all my beliefs on Grisham.) (Or at least good fiction?)
