What Do You Do With a Chocolate Jesus? by Thomas Quinn

What Do You Do with a Chocolate Jesus? is the funny and skeptical, yet genuine exploration of the Christian history they don't teach in Sunday school. It finds humor, irony, and occasional insight amid the inconsistencies, absurdities, hypocrisies, and flat out weirdness that too often passes for eternal truth. Like a history of religion as done by The Daily Show, it humorously explores the facts, the history, and the big ideas in an engaging and entertaining story. Pitting actual Scripture against pious propaganda, Thomas Quinn treks through chapter and verse of the New Testament, explores the sordid saga of medieval beliefs (including End-of-the-World panics and fights about what kind of stuff Jesus was made of), and reveals some of the shocking attitudes of America's founders toward religion. It isn't always pretty, but it's usually good for a laugh. If war is too important to leave to the generals, religion is too important to leave to the preachers. Skeptics need evangelists, too.

Thomas Quinn was born in Newark, New Jersey, and holds a bachelor's degree in labor relations from Cornell University. He worked for Procter & Gamble in various sales and marketing jobs in the United States and the United Kingdom for seventeen years after graduating. He went on to become president of an Irish Dairy Board subsidiary and vice president of sales for Warner-Lambert and CIGNA Healthcare. He and his wife live in West Chester, Pennsylvania. They have two children who are grown up and two grandchildren.

The Venetians trilogy continues with The Sword of Venice, the second book in the series. The Lion of St. George was his first novel. In 2005, Mark was released.
