“So, what, Christianity is founded on a magical charlaton?” (Jack Sigler)
“Jesus spent his childhood in Egypt, as did Moses, so it’s possible both men found some ancient source of knowledge and used what they learned to perform amazing miracles.” (Hercules)
Yeah, I’m done with this.When Christ’s Divine Nature is denied, then I stop reading. I will also not be reading any more by Jeremy Robinson.
☆☆☆☆ ½
That’s weak. They found ‘ancient knowledge’? ONLY those two men? Yawn.

I’ll accept a lot of “alternative takes” on theology in myth based action books, but since the core of Christianity IS Jesus’ divinity, that is a line I don’t cross…

Understandable! What you said, plus the take sounded lame.

You’ll want to watch out for his other pen names then, I think I read a post-apocalyptic sci-fi with the author name Jeremiah Knight.
I probably wouldn’t have DNFed the book, maybe the big reveal at the end is the characters finding out they were completely wrong! I guess there’s probably a wiki entry or someone else’s review that could tell you that, though.

thanks for the pen names.
And that is why I put “why” I DNF a book. My reasons tend not to be inline with most of those who follow me 🙂

Yeah, I just browsed through some goodreads reviews, and nobody mentioned your thing. Too bad, the Tower of Babel plotline sounds like a great basis for a story.

It was going right along as far as I was concerned. Heck, the stuff about Moses I had no problem with. But like I said, I take the Divine pretty seriously. That is one of those things that is an auto DNF for me…

How’d he get half a star though? Hahahha

Because a 0star rating is “unrated” in calibre, so to show my complete disdain, I have to give it at least a 1/2star. I used to give one stars, but when I moved to booklikes, I got used to 1/2stars.
0stars/Unrated are now usually reserved for books that I couldn’t finish but that I didn’t have any thing to really complain about, ie, “it is me, not you” kind of thing.
