Hey, guess what I did last evening! Along with my friends Earl and Denise, I went to see Lewis Black discuss and sign his new book, Me of Little Faith. There was a long interview that proved once again that Mr. Black is very funny and very perceptive…and nowhere near as angry as some think. The discussion was conducted by Time Magazine columnist Joel Stein, who was a very good foil for Black, setting 'em up so Lew could knock 'em down, and occasionally convulsing the interviewee.
The chat was primarily about theology, which is the subject of Black's book. In it, he criticizes some of the more eccentric and/or destructive practices of all the major religions except Islam. As Black explained, he didn't want to spend the rest of his life in hiding. Otherwise, it's a series of short essays by a man who says he could never get any of the faiths to work for him but learned to live a happy, moral life without them. I'll write more about it as soon as I finish reading it.
Here's a link to the Amazon page where you can order the book. And even if you don't want to, you should go there because they have three short promotional videos up that you'll want to watch.
