Question? Who made you the interpreting authority on the subject of the bible?! What is next?! Koran?! How about next thing you ridicule is the Torah so some other people with poor intelligence could agree with you and laugh and ridicule about something that’s very important to others. Oh please, don’t even think that I’m a holy book “loony” as you might say or even that I’m angry or provoked. I am just a human being. I understand you have problems of your own, otherwise you wouldn’t be interested in ridiculing a very, if not the most important, subject to many people. Please, don’t blame it on others. I mean it’s OK to have small balls, this world needs you too and will embrace you with all of love. Don’t be afraid and try to open people’s eyes about something instead of losing them in such a degradable way, cause if your comedy and your words are entertaining and funny why don’t you just start with plain things about people and their lives. Maybe jokes about Kosher food or Bar Mitzvah, or maybe oyu could tell us about your Brit milah. Now there’s something you could write about. At least that is in your area of expertize.

I question if you really did live by all the rules (that are legal in today’s society)and guidelines in the Bible. The greatest commandment seen in both the old and new Testimate:

Deuteronomy 6:5 “Love the Lord with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength”

Matthew 22:34-40 “Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: ” ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.””

And again in Mark 12:38-31.

So, did you really abide by all the rules, commandments, and guidelines in the bible? How about the most important and greatest commandment (which is the foundation of the entire Law), did you abide by it? Did you truly love God with all your heart, soul, and mind?

“don’t wear clothes made of mixed fibers” – Does that mean I’m going to hell because my shirt is cotton/polyester blend?

I wonder what the Hip Hop version of Revelations is like?

The third one you mentioning was in MASH. Father Mulcahy ordered bibles, and there wasn’t “NOT” in a fairly important place. Haven’t read your new book, but It’s on my list.

I also loved “The Know it All.” It was hilarious and I’ve recomended it to several friends.

I’ll be buying your new book as soon as I see it at the store!

This is cool, but will you now live the Koran? You can fill us in on what is really Muslim doctrine and what is not. I still feel the bible is hokey, but if you send me a free copy I will read ypour book. If you make money you are not walking with just your staff and cloak.

I read “The Know it All” and loved it. I am reading your latest right now (I’m somewhere around page 100) and I am really enjoying it. I don’t mind telling you that you’ve reached my “I-am-going-to-read-everything-he-writes” status – including your guest blog posts.

I’d love to read all of the “hip hop” version of the 23rd Psalm. Is it in your book? Where can I find it?
