These obnoxious faux Christians who hate far more than they love, who confuse and traumatize their children with their messages, who castigate people for "sins of the flesh" that they so enthusiastically engage in are easy targets, but Kenley is far gentler in his humor than some of us might have been. Religion based on hate and intolerance is not as rare as it should be and ridicule is the best way to deal with it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04217963475185024609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077386656187888581.post-65371470358364336152010-06-26T13:17:18.331-04:002010-06-26T13:17:18.331-04:00Michael, I think that may be an over simplificatio...Michael, I think that may be an over simplification of this play. The lead character is clearly a Jesus figure...as in walking the walk rather than talking the talk. The play sets up an interesting parallel between those who simply orate as Christians and those who truly have faith and believe in the power of a promise made to God and to family. I think that you would not find this play void of faith but rather are a smart enough man to understand the subtle nature of what is being said between the lines.

I had intended to see it, as several of my friends are in it, but I'm just not up for a play that denigrates or makes sport of Christians.Michael Ridenhournoreply@blogger.com
