7. It's possible to download a sample chapter from the book's easily-found website. My quick
impressions:

This book is for people who enjoy lots and lots and lots of fairly standard and obvious snark based on a literal reading of the Bible. By "lots and lots and lots," I mean that, unlike the great classic writers in this vein (Russell, say, or Paine), Werleman entirely misses the point of the old slogan, Brevity is the soul of wit. And by "standard and obvious," I mean that most of you who went through a smart-ass phase in high school have already said much of this yourselves and could crank such stuff out by the truckload in your sleep
