I would write a book titled "The Won" that imagines Ubama as a woman.
Problem is, it wouldn't be fiction.

It would be interesting to see if there is some common thread in their backgrounds. First guess; sexual abuse, by a male family member.

Kristen Wolf turns the biblical portrayal of the Messiah on its head by portraying Jesus as a woman. for postmodernists the narrative is more important than the truth.

She doesn't believe exclusively in the Christ of the Bible as the one, true way. At the same time, Wolf said that she believes that if people followed his teachings the world would be a better place. Why doesn't Ms. Wolf follow His teachings if that is what she believes people should do? Does she not want the world to be better? Or just better for her because she created controversy and wishes to cash in on Jesus bashing?
Jesus claimed to be "the way, the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father but by me". Seems to be exclusive. One cannot believe that Jesus was both a "good man" and a liar regarding His divine nature.

Dan Brown made some good coin off of his stench, this broad is just trying to follow suit.

****’The Way’ transports readers back to ancient Palestine, where they encounter a female Jesus ****
Yawn. Nothing new. NATIONAL LAMPOON magazine did such a thing back about 35 years ago. Her name was Jessica Rist.

Another symptom of modern sickness.
There was a book imagining Christ as a pederast, too, wasn’t there?
And a whole theory out there of Him as an African-American, yes?
I dread to ask about PETA’s version of the story.

In an interview with The Christian Post on Tuesday, though, Wolf said that her goal was not to offend anyone's religious beliefs. Yeah, right. Pingout tomorrow.

>> Article: “Wolf doesn’t identify herself with any particular religion”
So the book is effectively a goat-#.

Certain speculation about Jesus is interesting and titillating. Dan Browns speculation that Jesus married and left an heir (which isnt a new idea, but the story he told wove the tale differently) is fascinating (to me) to consider.I refused to sponsor Dan Brown's attack on Christianity. I didn't mind if he speculated, or said it was a work of fiction, but he portrayed it as truth.
I know Moslems and Hindus who have read that book and think that what we Christians believe is a lie saying "there's the proof" -- and yet all the evidence shows that Dan Brown was lying
others that portray Jesus as a black man, -- well, technically Jesus wasn't a blue-eyed blonde either. It doesn't matter how He is portrayed, He is a black man to black people, a blue-eyed blonde to Slavs, with Oriental features to Chinese etc. -- that doesn't matter. He was 100% man (whatever color but Jewish ;-P) and 100% God

And a whole theory out there of Him as an African-American, yes?Well, He definitely was not "African-American", but not "European-American" or "Jewish-American" either. He was of Jewish ethnicity by His mother's side and the Jews of that time being Semitic would have looked like the Yemeni Jews of today
He was brown no doubt, probably even dark brown, maybe even tanned VERY dark brown, like an Ethiopian.
But the color of His skin doesn't matter.

Same ol’, same ol.
The only thing that’s surprising is that it’s not Easter time.
