This is a travesty, in the face of the Lord. Little do they know they will have to answer to the Lord.

`Fabulous' Bible play features Adam and Steve

``The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told,'' a Whole Art Theater production opening June 9 could be a tad controversial.

``Yeah, a little bit, perhaps,'' director Art Nemitz said, chuckling. ``But all in good fun.''

Written by Paul Rudnick (``Jeffery,'' ``In and Out''), ``Fabulous'' is sparked by the common statement, ``God didn't create Adam and Steve, he created Adam and Eve,'' Nemitz said. ``But what if God did create Adam and Steve, and in addition, he created Jane and Mabel?''

This leads Rudnick to paint the Bible with a flamboyant rainbow brush. The same-sex couples travel from Eden through various other portions of the Bible, ride on Noah's Ark, meet a naughty Pharaoh and end up at the Nativity, where at least two of the wise men also are gay. In Act II, we see the characters in modern-day Manhattan, where they confront spiritual questions on Christmas Eve.

``It's very funny, but certainly adults-only,'' Nemitz said. Emphasizing that it is not for children, he warned there will be nudity in the Garden of Eden. ``It's all tastefully done.''

This is the first time Rudnick's 1998 play has been staged in Kalamazoo. At the Whole Art, ``we go for the edgy, for the off-the-wall,'' Nemitz said. But aside from being edgy, ``Fabulous'' is a funny comedy, but with ``serious questions,'' he said. ``It's actually quite a spiritual play.''

Brother is seems like Christianity, God, The Bible, Jesus have all been under attack lately with all the garbage that is now coming out like the DVC, Gospel of Judas, the Jesus papers, and now this. It's almost like a septic tank is overflowing with disgusting things. Now I know that this sounds a little bit graphic, just to think about it, but I can't think of a better way to put it.

People will mock God's Word for the almighty dollar, they will do anything and say anything but they will have to answer to God for every action and every idle word they have spoken, yes even for their evil thoughts. Yes the day will come. Thank God that Jesus is comming back soon, the He has the victory, and that the day will come when all men will have to bow to the Name of Jesus. Yes every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, and may I again say EVERY, this includes the devil and all of his demoinic crowd all his demons, every last one of them

Exactly like and those are some real nasty things crawling out of that septic tank.

AMEN sister!!
