Similarly, commercials from the are quite clever, and I have to have a lot of respect for a brand of Christianity that s willing to poke a little fun at itself. My only objection to these ads is that the church in question seems to have abandoned the phrase Christian to certain evangelicals in response to the growing disquiet over the in your face nature of those churches.
This is not ground that I would like give up, personally.
I was a Christian before some of the fundamentalists that go too far, and if these fundamentalists think that people like the I m a Christ Follower guy aren t Christian enough, well then they should be the ones vacating the term.
So, I m working through in my mind a review of the first few episodes of the Doctor Who spinoff series Torchwood, and I end up going off on a tangent.
Me: Torchwood is like a James Bond movie where Q has gone insane and holed himself up in a fortress somewhere to build increasingly more ludicrous (and effective) doomsday devices, while repelling several attempts by James Bond to bring him in hey, wait, that would be a great James Bond movie plot, wouldn t it?
Bond versus Q?
: Except that Q is now R and played by John Cleese.
Me: Even better!
