Completely ignoring the presence of Superman, Batman, and Robin (were those the only costumes available at the store?) I only have one nitpicky problem with this.
I realize they’ve got that winch/hoist system and they want to use it…
But that really should be Captain America singing Tubthumping.

Just goes to show the lengths to which Christian churches will go just to keep people’s attention on some religious themes and not on all of the cruelty they inflict on people through guilt and manipulation and the divisions and hostilities they generate in society.

Dr. Strange seems like a better stand-in for Jesus than Tony Stark.
- Came to prominence by being good at healing people
- Suffered grievous hand injuries
- Sacrificed his life for humanity but was resurrected immediately afterwards
- Literally turns water into wine at wedding receptions

Geez, talk about mixing mythological metaphors.
Sad… just sad.
Meh… while I’m not at all religious, not all Christian denomination are like this. Some actually are quite liberal and tolerant — you know, kinda like Jesus. That being said, this church states that they are evangelical and literalist, and that automatically raises alarm bells for me.
