More Description

This book, like the Bible, is composed of essays and other writings on religion that were composed at different times, and in different states of mind, to some extent, even by different persons or rather different dimensions of my personality, none of which have received divine inspiration. There are dimensions to it that are illustrative of my anger, disappointment, puzzlement, curiosity, hopefulness, cynicism, skepticism, and always, I think, my tendency to see the world through irony, from satire to just the joy and relief of silliness and absurdity. It is hoped, however, that it is a little less internally contradictory than the Bible, and a lot more sensible. But I doubt one is likely to ever find The Babo Gospels in the bedside table drawer of a hotel room or being thumped by a drawling evangelist preacher with a hair-sprayed pompadour and wearing a glossy suit.
