Funism: The New Religion

About the Book

The hilarious tale of a gambler who dreams he died in a mysterious car crash and faces judgment day in a poker tournament with Vishnu, Moses, Jesus, Buddha and Mohammed. It is a satirical, provocative, defiant, eclectic expose’ of the absurdities that separate common sense and religion. No sacred cows are spared. It emphasizes the wars fought in the name of religions and Gods. Funism, a new religion is juxtaposed with the five major organized religions. The fiery debate encompasses: theology, philosophy, ethics, culture, history, psychology, economics, gambling and politics. The absurdities of religions may seem innocuous to realists, but when fanatics act on them, the repercussion can wreak havoc in society, and among nations.
