Religiously Transmitted Diseases is an entertaining work that uncovers some very real and very serious issues in regards to religious beliefs. The author serves as Senior Pastor at Peoples Church and has spent over twenty years in the ministry. He is a very proud, passionate Christian man who lives with Jesus in the driver’s seat and encourages others to do so as well.
However, during his time with the church, the author has seen good religion gone bad. Much of this badness is due to extreme thinking: passion that turns into intolerance, commitment to the precepts of the Bible defined in extreme ways, and the desire to make their beliefs into something huge or overly dramatic.
I really enjoyed reading Religiously Transmitted Diseases. The information was set out in an entertaining way with lots of real life examples. More importantly, this book reminded me that passion for beliefs is great so long as it isn’t taken to dangerous extremes.
