Candy
Coated Jesus
The New Testament
Unveiled
This e-book because it looks squarely at select verbatum
excerpts from the Bible's New Testament. Thousands of critiques of the
Bible have been written, which heap praise on the myths within. Candy
Coated Jesus bucks the trend while pulling aside orthodox shrouds to
reveal parts of the New Testament which preachers don't want shown. It
does so by quoting,NT passages verbatum. Right Wing Christians won't
like this book because it doesn't dovetail with their Sunday School
image of Jesus. Too much truth can be annoying.

The word 'unveiled'
literally means: to take off the veil - to reveal what someone is
trying to hide or obscure. The text of Candy Coated Jesus (CCJ) is not
a long tome trying to sound scholarly – yet it covers a lot of bases.
It takes select passages from the New Testament (NT), verbatum, and
deciphers them according to the precise words and phrases therein.
The text doesn't change words or skew them
into lavishing praise upon Jesus and the other characters mentioned in
the NT – as preachers often do from the pulpit (or Bible scholars do,
in their ponderous books).
CCJ's text also articulates upon related NT
topics such as the Revelation chapter ('an embellished psychedelic
trip') and The Gospel of Judas – a recently found/translated papyrus,
the veracity of which is not challenged by Bible scholars. It indicates
that Judas was Jesus' favorite young disciple, rather than the awful
boogie-man that the Vatican (and others) want us to believe he was.
Why a book like this? One reason: right
wing Christianity often manifests harm – not just for humans, but for
other species and the environment. That may sound like a mouthful
jargon from a tree-hugger, but read the book, if you dare, and you may
come to realize how there are uplifting ways to experience life (and
the world) which don't require worship of ancient texts and myth-based
belief systems.
Right Wing Christians won't like this book
because it doesn't dovetail with their Sunday School images of Jesus.
Like Trump fans, too much truth makes them angry and compels them to
lash out. Deists think that Atheism means 'having no profound beliefs.'
That's ridiculous. Those who don't embrace a deist belief system -
instead find joy and solace in nature. Nature is every bit as
awe-inspiring as God. Nature is real, whereas religions are aspects of
reality cloaked in man-made myths - which devolve to moral codes.
