Spidey...Not Totally Fiction

When God employs such things as talking donkeys to get someone's attention, why should I be surprised that a movie about a fictional superhero can let us in on spiritual truth?

Call me unorthodox, but it isn't only the stuff that is sold in Christian bookstores that reminds me of God's ways. After all, story was His idea in the first place. While this movie never makes the faintest reference to God, it does pull back the veil on what is true.

So I walked out of the theater more hopeful than when I went in. Spider Man 3 reminded me that evil will not win out in the end, that character transformation IS possible, and forgiveness is the key to freedom.
