“America is based upon the traditional family values enshrined in the Bible.”

     Oh, rully?? Maybe it’s time we give this shopworn claim a closer look. We’ll check out the “pro-family” values of Adam and Eve, Abraham and his two wives (just the tip of the iceberg), Lot and his two daughters (you don’t want to know), Jesus (the world’s favorite bachelor), and Paul (another evangelical who always showed up stag). Is the nuclear family really the foundation of the West? Do ideas like gay marriage, abortion and teen pregnancy threaten that tradition? Thomas Quinn will offer a humorous examination of what the Good Book actually says about the wholesome family values that are supposedly the only thing that stand between America and tyranny, or you and someone raised by wolves.

     Thomas Quinn is an Emmy-nominated documentary writer/producer for Discovery Channel and History, and is the author of an upcoming book that takes a humorous but skeptical look at the history of Christianity: “What Do You Do with a Chocolate Jesus?”  Tom’s programs have deconstructed popular misconceptions behind The Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons, shark attacks, and many famous Urban Legends.
