So someone finally got around to publishing the CliffNotes for it. Can't you see all the priests in training sneaking out of the seminary and down to the bookstore?
Or is this the Complete Idiot's Guide to the Bible?
Or maybe it works like the play - The Complete Works of Shakespeare - Abridged???
Does he have a 1 minute version where everyone just runs in and gets smote while a bunch of people in the background are begat'in it on? A guy in red falls down a hole with a bunch of his buddies, a chick eats an apple wearing only a snake, someone runs around with a whale, the stage gets flooded, a bunch of people get turned into salt, and at the end everybody dies horribly then get back up and dance around before taking a bow.
All set to the Benny Hill chase music. Now thats religion!
