sunday church

I found it reassuring that the preacher at my Sunday service made a joke about "what superpower would you have?" and lists "flying, shooting webs from your wrists, Cold War Russia, telepathy^*", then went on in the sermon to list Brexit, Trump's election, and ISIS as symptoms of a sinful and close-minded world driven by fear.

This is what I mean when I say that Australian Evangelicals are not quite like the American ones. We certainly have the American-like ones though (they're usually heavily involved in politics and political parties; that's how you tell).




[*] In a room full of 35-60s, that still took us a moment to get - Cold War Russia as a superpower; he thought it would be more successful at the 7pm service, which is full of young people. Yeah, no, I don't think so...

It's a pretty good joke, though.

Oh, no doubt! But it took most of us a few seconds - and some of us more than a few seconds...
