SUMMARY:Lewis Black
DESCRIPTION:What do we believe? And for God’s sake why? \nThese are the thorny questions that Lewis Black\, the comedian\, social critic\, and bestselling author\, tackles in Me of Little Faith. And he’s come up with some answers. Or at least his answers. In more than two dozen essays that investigate everything from the differences between how Christians and Jews celebrate their holidays\, to the politics of faith\, to people’s individual search for transcendence\, Black explores his unique odyssey through religion and belief. \nGrowing up as a non-practicing Jewish kid near Washington\, D.C.\, during the 1950s\, Black survived Hebrew school and a bar mitzvah (barely)\, went to college in the South during the tumultuous 1960s\, and witnessed firsthand the unsettling parallels between religious rapture and drug-induced visions (even if none of his friends did). He explored the self-actualization movements of the 1970s (and the self-indulgence that they produced)\, and since then has turned an increasingly skeptical eye toward the politicians and televangelists who don the cloak of religious rectitude to mask their own moral hypocrisy. \nWhat he learned along the way about the inconsistencies and peculiarities of religion infuriated Black\, and in Me of Little Faith he gives full vent to his comedic rage. Black explores how the rules and constraints of religion have affected his life and the lives of us all.
