What Do You Do with a Chocolate Jesus?: Honk if You Hit Jesus

What Do You Do with a Chocolate Jesus? (An Irreverent History of Christianity) is a funny, skeptical, but authentic exploration of the Christian history they don’t teach in Sunday school. It finds humor, irony, and occasional insight amid the inconsistencies, absurdities, and flat out weirdness that often passes for Eternal Truth.
Thomas Quinn treks through chapter and verse of the New Testament to discover its surprising ideas, explores the sordid saga of medieval beliefs (including End-of-the-World panics and lurid tales of popes and concubines), and reveals some of the shocking attitudes of America’s founders toward religion. It isn’t always pretty, but it’s usually good for a laugh. If war is too important to leave to the generals, religion is too important to leave to the preachers. Skeptics need evangelists, too.
