CRITICAL PRAISE FOR WELCOME TO JESUSLAND: "This satirical collection of essays,
images, articles, et al is poking fun at some people and institutions
whose extreme manifestations have been diving offensively off the deep end
themselves in the minds of many. Poking fun is probably the wrong term,
though. This collection actually whacks them over the head, punches them
in the solar plexus, then gives them a wedgy while they're still
breathless. Cackling and snickering all the while. It's one of the
funniest things I've read in a long time. You open a page at random, let
your jaw drop because you just can't believe they're going there, then
take a break to recover before trying something else. Highly recommended,
as I already have to a bunch of friends. Remember that the target is the
extremes and absurdities of behavior, not the idea of being religious
itself, and take your sense of humor out for a
romp." When you have the likes of Ted Haggard and
legions of repressed and depraved religious fanatics, it's a challenge to
satirize them, because they are living satires of themselves. "The idea here is not to offend Christians
(the real ones, who really follow Jesus' teachings of love and peace and
forgiveness), or Jesus (he'd laugh at this book, too), or even religion,
but to use humor to show how absolutely insane extremism is, whether it
comes in the form of violent Islamic nut jobs or those who exist right
here at home, waiting to shoot anyone who doesn't believe or behave in the
"right" way. Religious extremism is disturbing, but this book proves it
can also be riotously funny." "On the other hand, the authors of Welcome
to Jesusland are all going to hell for having written an outrageously
funny send-up of Christianity in general and evangelicals in particular.
Chris Harper, Andrew Bradley, and Erik Walker hilariously skewer every
aspect about the practice of the American version of Christianity and it
doesn’t spare any of the hot-button topics from endangered species to
illegal immigrants to gays. What it does do is entertain, impiously and
refreshingly. It's an opportunity to laugh at
ourselves." "As with any good satirical humor, there are
grains of truth buried deeply in this witty look at sin and salvation.
Sharp, cutting and thoroughly enjoyable this may offend the closed
minded."
