I love Lewis Black, but psh, I still read and study the Old Testament. It's in my Bible as a Christian and there is no way that I am not going to read it or study it because it is Jewish. It's all related, and there are parts of the New Testament that simply cannot be understood in great detail without the Old Testament.

So, screw that. I still read it and study it, even if it is "their" book. stare

Ah a refreshingly good act. Now onto Lewis Black on Broadway. [:

I put Lewis Black right up there with George Carlin and Bill Hicks. Except Lewis is not dead yet. All of them make it a point to address what they perceive as religious fanatics one way or another.

Lewis,... well, you've seen it. Carlin does it in a "people act really funny" way. Hicks outright mocks them. Hicks jokes about bringing up dinosaur fossils to one fundamentalist Christian.
"God put those there to test our faith".
"Dude! I think God put you here to test *my* faith".

Hicks continues to revisit the joke when comically appropriate. On the topic of Jesus, he jokes "Hey dad! Lets go plant some more fossils so we can trick them!"

Lewis Black's bit about Jerry Falwell blaming a whole list of people he dislikes for "God letting 9-11 happen" was priceless.

That kind of political humor, even when it touches religion, hits me hard. It mirrors what I, and so many others are thinking, and phrases it in a wonderfully sarcastic way that often surprises.
