SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND HATE A Sane Person's Guide to Taking Back the Bible from Fundamentalists, Fascists, and Flock-Fleecing Frauds

Talk show host/comedian John Fugelsang dedicates this important and timely book to his parents, a Carmelite nun and Franciscan monk who left their orders but remained dedicated to the teachings of Christ. Fugelsang's warm, companionable voice perfectly conveys his concern that right-wing forces are using the Bible as a prop to justify cruelty, hatred, and absolute power--the very opposite of Jesus's message. He offers Scripture, verse, and humor to help listeners respond knowledgeably to those who are using religion to spread misinformation and pain. His calming voice reminds us of the compassion, kindness, and tolerance in Jesus's message and offers hope to those who need ways to talk back to the loud, self-righteous voices of anger and hate currently around us.
