Content: There is some swearing, including a couple of f-bombs. It’s in the Religion/Philosophy section of the bookstore.
I picked this up because we were selling a ton of it at the bookstore back before the holidays, and I got curious. It’s basically Fugelsang’s treatise to MAGA “Christians” – he was raised Catholic by a former monk and nun who left and got married – about specific issues that conservatives like to use the Bible to back up their position. It’s not as theological as I thought it would be, but then Fugelsang is not a theologian, he’s a comedian.
That said, he has some good points on many of the topics – from birth control to LGBTQ issues to feminism to white supremacy – and even though it’s not as deep as I wanted it to be, it is a good look at the Bible, Christianity, and Jesus’s teachings.
It’s not a keeper, though.
