I got a lager drinking Romanian Hungarian man into ale! Via Hobgoblin.
I feel like one of the 'have you heard the good news?' people!

Also, the deep joy of discovering the Indian takeaway near your new house is ace. And next door to an independent booze shop.

It'll be a condensed version of the New Testament's outline (with the existence of Jesus being irrelevant), with author's notes, then "Jesusisms" and "things to live by" that truly highlights how to love thy neighbor - i.e. what Christians who don't realize Jesus was a Socialist, Pacifist Jew if he existed. It would also be "adjusted for common sense", with notes expressing that "turning the other cheek" is not always a good idea if self-defense is necessary.
Something a lot of the "new wave churches" or very loose protestant churches will jump on, possibly, because though I'm an agnostic atheist and don't feel the need for Jesus in my life, the episcopal church that I attended as a kid was legitimately Christian in every sense of the word, wanting the church to pray that Saddam Hussein would be a better leader and that our extremist Muslim brothers and sisters would realize the error of their ways so that we might forgive them. My "Christian", Republican dad had us stop attending that church because of this.
In fact, this is going to be a fun project. People love the Jesus figure. I think it's fine if that stays so long as they stop taking the bible literally and learn to work with civilization and not against it as a whole.
