First I like your inside game. If I had some ish I wouldn't be mucking around on cf for 3 hours now. If i was indeed mucking around while inebriated I wouldn't start a thread, I'd be in unsorted. Edit: LOL a 1 star thread. ****ing finally.
"The Greatest Story Ever Told" is a good fictionalized account of the life of Jesus, although somewhat pandering. If you're looking for something satirical I recommend Christopher Moore's "Lamb." I haven't read it in years but think it would be suitable for Christians. Jesus' supposed best friend is the butt of most jokes. Also--antiquity entails mostly Greek literature. Your thread is confusing.
