Now I'm not ridiculing anyone's beliefs here, but this has to be the first time I've ever seen a church trying to pass of the crucifiction/resurrection story as a popular television action thriller. I eagerly await Christmas, where no doubt we'll see parallels drawn between the old nativity story and that week's episode of The Shield.
There's a Church in Nottingham that regularly uses quotes from 'popular' media to reach kids, New Order lyrics, bit's for the Matrix and even Tomb Raider have appeared. It's a bit 'teacher trying to be down with the kids for me', funny though.
ReplyDeleteDoes that mean, we'd get to see Judas drop a hand grenade in Jesus' lap at the Last Supper, ala Shield's season finale?
ReplyDeleteBecause that would be off the hook!
(Will I go to hell for saying that?)
I'd go to church way more often if Jesus choked a few guys by jamming towels down their throats while vividly describing exactly how that would kill His victim.
ReplyDeleteAnd if He had a really hot daughter that was always getting into wacky trouble.
