Excellently summarized, thumbs up!

By the way, I'd highly recommend the book Lamb: The Bible according to Biff, by Christopher Moore.

It's a lighthearted and entirely fictional comedy narrating the gospel from Jesus' buddy's perspective, highlighting quite a few fuckups and shenanigans along the way.

Just figured based on your writing that you'd appreciate the humor, I had a good laugh myself.
