The Way I see it

" ... the idea that Jesus will make everything better is a lie. It's basically biblical theology translated into the language of infomercials. Can you imagine an infomercial with Paul, testifying to the amazing product of Jesus, saying that he once had power and authority, and since he tried Jesus he's been moved from prison to prison, beaten, and routinely bitten by snakes? I don't think many people would be buying that product."
