  1. This sounds awesome! I really hope my local shop carries it.

  2. Well crafted review! Not my kind of book though. The "religion is bad" thing seems overdone.

  3. The whiny "where was god during the holocaust" lose of faith episode some people have is really stupid and annoying. Doesn’t sound like something I would want to read – it seems the creator suffers from the same shtick – is that true?

    Thanks for the review. 

  4. @chlop: I definitely don’t think that those types of doubts are stupid or annoying, but that is another discussion that probably isn’t appropriate here. That being said, I certainly know what you mean and, given the subject matter, there was certainly the danger of falling in to that trap of being preachy but I think that Peterson and Niccole were able to avoid that with ease.

    While the issue of God not stopping the Holocaust, Pol Pot, et al, is certainly brought up and lends at least some sort of a serious tone, I mostly read them as plot devices to get Jesus to go back in time to fight Nazis or Pol Pot. The thing to remember about this book is that, first and foremost, it’s a comedy. The creators may want you to be given pause to think at moments, but the primary goal is to make you laugh.
