And also curious to hear your thoughts on the theology in the book. Looking forward to it!Matt Mikalatoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13279070118483678882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037568074224135598.post-78139305829461748162012-03-26T19:20:16.022-07:002012-03-26T19:20:16.022-07:00I think humor can be an incredibly effective tool-...I think humor can be an incredibly effective tool--I can't speak for this book so much, but I read quite a few reviews of "My Imaginary Jesus" from people who thought it was hilarious (the humor wasn't my cup of tea). Even at least one agnostic/ex-Christian kept reading because he found it so hilarious. Humor can let you get into places where you otherwise wouldn't be able to reach.<br /><br />But humor can have trouble reaching a broad audience. If the reader doesn't find the story funny then it doubly detracts. Like that person who's always telling jokes that he or she thinks are funny, but aren't.<br /><br />Believe me, I know the problem. I'm often that person telling the not-funny jokes!Julie Bihnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16694252260205949341noreply@blogger.com
