    Do you ever wonder what comes after this life? Do you ever wonder why the nun who taught your seventh-grade math class could swing a ruler better than Babe Ruth? Did you ever wonder if Noah put the tigers next to the gazelles in the arc? How about some of the rules in the Old Testament? And why did the Vatican commission paintings of Jesus that looked like a guitarist from Led Zepplin? Jesus was from the Middle East. He didn't look like any of the paintings we have seen over the years.  
    I try to tackle life after death, religion (especially the Catholic religion), and the Old Testament in this book. The book is filled with satire. Just look at the title. It's a book to make you think and laugh. Nothing more, nothing less.
