God is Dead

God is Dead by Ron Currie, JR.

God is Dead starts off in God's point of view after his has taken the appearance of a young Dinka woman in Sudan. She is searching for her brother Thomas while handing out sorghum from an endless bag reminiscent to Jesus breaking bread and splitting fish for thousands in the bible. Her brother is never mentioned in the book after this, even though he seemed to be important. With God's death at the end of the chapter, all chapters following this are only loosely related since most of the characters seem to be from the United States and everyone lives on the same planet in this new godless world.

While the author must have been trying to be humourous, the book came off like he was attempting to sound as critical of people of faith as he possibly could. He writes things that consist of parents worshiping their children and children's clothing catalogs being at the same level as the modern world's drug problem, but never really goes to the depth of any of this. All of the story lines are so unattached to each other and never work their way together in the end that when the reader finishes the book, they are left feeling a bitter disappointment.
