God Must Be Pissed!

God Must be Pissed!, A.W. Schade, iUniverse, 2004

This book is about an average person, named Traveler, who sets off on a journey to attempt to answer a very simple, yet very complicated, question. What is the right path to God?

Could He have been so inconsiderate as to separately tell Christians, Jews and Muslims that they are His chosen people, and that the other two groups are just faking it? He begins on the path of Christianity, speaking to a priest, a bishop and a minister. They patiently answer his questions; he is not the first, nor will he be the last, to make such inquiries. The unspoken part is that while questions about Christianity are normal, the expectation is that Traveler will eventually return to the Church, to stay.

He also speaks to a Jewish rabbi, and an Islamic scholar, who happens to be female. Things get a bit heated when discussing modern perceptions of Islam. The Bible has been "reinterpreted" and sometimes rewritten over the years, but the same cannot be said of the Koran. Compare a present-day copy and an early copy of the Koran, and there are zero text changes.

Maybe people are supposed to find their own path to God. Organized religion works for most people,
but not for anyone. This is a short, but very interesting, book that doesn't push any specific faith. Those who are looking for their path to God could do a lot worse than read this story.
