The philosopher Immanuel Kant was estimated to possess an IQ of 175. The most exciting moment of his life was when a book awoke him from dogmatic slumber, as he called his problem. If a thinker with an IQ of 175 can be asleep, then so can all of us! Instead of reinforcing what we think we know by reading only whats familiar, we might shake ourselves awake by reading what will lead us to reflect in deeper ways on what is worth believing. Gospels for the Not So Gullible take the Christian Gospels verse by verse and turn them upside down. These updated Gospels, two by men and two by women, are composed by Matthew, Markie, Luke, and Joan, who are respectively the college roommate, pious wife, devoted friend, and mistress of the controversial hero. Born in the backwoods of Virginia, Nicholas Winslow turns into a billionaire but never loses sight of his own faith or doubts about the Bible. Earthy, brilliant, witty, and redemptive, Nick becomes the center of attention from his days in college when he stuns the drunken students with his Sermon on the Mount of Venus, but instead of wanting more disciples he desires more people thinking for themselves. He hopes to put an end to sheeple, people who behave like sheep, while using parables and parodies to create a down-to-earth but high-spirited set of values in his witty confrontation with religion.
