Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Come and see the absurdities of the Bible flushed out in all their glory in this fictional comedy's chapter-by-chapter retelling of all the stories of Genesis done in satirical fashion!Follow along with the all-holy God of the universe who graciously abuses and lovingly exploits his creation at every turn as his unwilling assistant, the logical Spirit, does his best to object and stand up for true righteousness. They'll interact with some of your favorite heroes of the faith in such classic events as:-God Creates Porn!-It's Hard to Steer an Ark When You're Drunk!-Amazing Sheep Genetics! (No, Really! You Just Need a Couple of Twigs!)-Abraham and the Great Penis Massacre!-Fiery Skies Forecast for Pride Parade!-Faithfulness Exam Time: When the Pressure's on, Will You Light Your Own Child on Fire? Funniest (as with any parody) if you have some familiarity with the original source, but the stories and characters are comical enough for all to laugh, even those without knowledge of the Bible.Bible Spoof! was written by a former hardcore Christian fundamentalist who, after much questioning of his faith, ultimately abandoned it all when humor helped him see the irrationalities of his god and holy book. It was not written to attack personal faith, but if something in it is deemed offensive or appalling, hopefully the same reaction is had upon opening the Bible. While greatly about the laughs, if any reader is deeply in the faith, struggling in the faith, or even just curious, hopefully this book will provoke some independent thought. Readers are encouraged by the author to compare with the Bible, think for themselves, and draw their own conclusions.Fanfare:Satan - "Excellent."Random Pastor - "Holy Mother of God!"God - "How the tables have turned!
