Synopsis

This sassy memoir by a party girl with a broken heart takes an irreverent look at religious teachings that made her an easy victim of a love gone wrong. And in telling her story, she shows how the right hijacked Jesus—and gives moderates and progressives of all faiths and of no faith a recipe for taking back God, flag and country.Here are revelations, Kate Rice style. For example, the Apostle Paul says (in ancient Greek), shit happens. (Corinthians 6; 1-13). Also, Bible wasn’t written in English. It was written Aramaic, Hebrew and ancient Greek. A literal interpretation of the Bible is impossible.She introduces the tatted up minister who preaches the joy of sex, church-going progressives standing strong in a rural America that is not as red as you think, and believers and non-believers who work together!This battle-scarred veteran of three different religions explains our nation’s wrestling match with religion, politics, and sex by viewing it through the prism of her own struggles. She pokes fun at hypocrites but shows love and respect for true people of faith. And then she gives us all a pep talk about what we can do to keep our nation one that guarantees freedom for all.

This memoir caused my mixed feelings and 3 stars. The author's dad was a progressive Catholic county judge & her mom an Episcopalian. She wed and then divorced a Jewish man. Her last religion required a monthly ritual bath after menses, a ritual of which I was unfamiliar. She later considered herself......more

Just What We Need A lot of us don't go to church because of many things you include. Good to know others see beyond the "hyppo-Christians". Thanks, Kate Rice.......more

Goodreads review by Georgie on November 14, 2023

If you are wondering how to deal with faith/how other people deal with faith and their political thinking, this is a great book to read. Kate Rice is great about adding in many anecdotes from several different people. No story was the same. It was also interesting to learn about the beginning of the......more
