I highly recommend it. It is brilliant. It puts a whole new twist into WWJD.

The Shepherd instructs Jesus in the ways of hedonism, and at one point tries to persuade Jesus to use the sheep for sexual release.
It is epic. I was given a copy by someone here at NOM. Worth the read.Red Ryder wrote: ↑Thu Dec 28, 2023 1:14 pmWow. Learned something new today.Mayan_Elephant wrote: ↑Thu Dec 28, 2023 7:51 amHave you read The Gospel According to Jesus Christ by Saramago?

Matthew 23:23-24
23-24 “You’re hopeless, you religion scholars and Pharisees! Frauds! You keep meticulous account books, tithing on every nickel and dime you get, but on the meat of God’s Law, things like fairness and compassion and commitment—the absolute basics!—you carelessly take it or leave it. Careful bookkeeping is commendable, but the basics are required. Do you have any idea how silly you look, writing a life story that’s wrong from start to finish, nitpicking over commas and semicolons?
