If Jesus Were Bisexual (Not "If Mohammed Were Bisexual")
Slate ^ | 4/16/2011 | A.N. Wilson

Posted on 04/16/2011 12:11:55 PM PDT by mojito

Cult American author James Frey's new novel is both a work of art and a bombshell hurled at the religious right. It tackles the Second Coming of Jesus in modern America – with the promised Messiah enacting the deeds the religious right consider most wicked. He is, for example, an active bisexual who supports his prostitute girlfriend when she aborts her first child.

In 2006, Frey was exposed as having fabricated parts of his 2003 memoir A Million Little Pieces, which purported to tell of his time as a drug addict. In the furor he was publicly lambasted by the previously supportive Oprah Winfrey and dropped by his publisher.

More "edgy" tripe from the cowardly left. It's so pathetic and yawn-inducing. Now, a novel "reimaging" the life of Mohammed - now that would be edgy. And accompanied by death threats, to authors and publishers, which make books tours somewhat problematic.

Both the reviewer and the author are scum, which they wear as a badge of honor.

“Cult American author James Frey’s new novel is both a work of art and a bombshell hurled at the religious right.”

It’s not “hurled” at me at all. It’s aimed directly at himself and at folks who think ironic and edgy on matters regarding the Creator are appropriate stances, in the long-term.

So he decided to follow the tried-and-true formula to get himself back in the good graces of the Left...being a loyal tool of their spite.

Works every time.

The Moslems also have a “Jesus Thing” and they might be disposed to dispose of this puke anyway.

Forced marriages with 9-year old girls is already in the Koran, so our latter day liberals would have to find a topper for that. I'm sure they could, if they'd only put their mind to it.

As they say, threats of beheading concentrate the mind wonderfully.

Yeah! This is what the reviewer has to say:"But don't be put off. This book is very good indeed." I couldn't read any more...

These jackasses have an anti-Christian grudge, usually because they don’t like being told that their lifestyle is wrong. When they get out on their own, they lash out. Ignoring them is the best policy, like ignoring any petulant child throwing a tantrum.

If Mad Mo was a boy living, pedophilic, murderer?

The UK Guardian says that this book sucks and the author isn't fooling anyone.

That’s because Muhammad WAS bisexual, and a pedophile.

It seems to me that, rather than producing a “work of art and a bombshell”, Mr. Frey is dragging out that same stale, tired, cliched, derivative dead horse that thousands of arrested-development, acting-out, adolescents in the arts have been puking forth for decades.

Courageous? Not a chance. When given the choice of flogging the man who’ll turn the other cheek vs. the man who’ll lop off your head they universally show their “courage” by attacking the former. Wow, we’re all so impressed.

Mohammed (PBUH) was a Septasexual -

Men
Women
Little Boys
Little Girls
Goats
Sheep
...and anything else he could get to hold still or otherwise subdue.

Mark 3:28-29:“Assuredly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they may utter; but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation.”

It appears that James Frey and his pals are safe for now. He has other problems though. This is a man who was once publicly scolded by Oprah. How embarrassing is that?

"If you are to believe in God, you must allow yourself to doubt God." "Faith is the fool's excuse." The serpent would be proud!

Oh yeah! He actually was. No controversy there!

Frey’s a total loser and this latest is little more than the adolescent commentary one sees in any public men’s bathroom.

Being a pedophile, Muhammed was probably HOMOsexual.

So far no deluge of fatwas, roving hit squads, lone avengers, mobs beheading aide workers, no crowds of rage boys. I wonder why.
