This is a story.
Well sort of. Mr. 'atheist' Pullman has pulled another one off. His Dark Materials author (I haven't read it - yet) has divided 'the son' into Jesus and Christ. One modeled after eastern mystics and guru's, the other one after what seems to me is Mr. Flanders from Simpsons! Christ documents and later impersonates Jesus for what will later become the church. That is the story.
It's a fast paced book with nothing extremely good except the controversy. The point of view has been debated by everybody who has pretensions of being an atheist. After seeing hindu gods being slaughtered at many a writer's altar, I wasn't too taken aback by the controversy too.
5/10
