Jesus is Snippy
10 June 2005

Saturday Night Live veteran
Julia Sweeney joined a Bible study to get right with God. But the Old Testament, she discovered, was not an antidote to moral relativism; it was moral relativism. She held out hope for the New Testament. "I could hardly wait to meet Jesus again. But, oh, dear. Well, First off, Jesus is much angrier than I expected him to be. I didn't know that he was so angry, so much of the time. And very impatient." And snippy, too. Hear, on last week's This American Life, "Godless America."

Sweeney also writes a blog where she complains about God. And -- get this, culture warriors! -- she's a writer on Desperate Housewives.
