Subversive Parable for a New Generation
So Dwayne has us reading this book to expand ourselves: Parables As Subversive Speech: Jesus As Pedagogue of the Oppressed and we got to thinking: What would a parable look like today that would be subversive?" Well.... Marisa wanted to bring something about Dr. Phil into it (because he's sooooo controversial), but I told her that I thought the Messiah would probably ask something different than "How's that working for you?" Then I suggested incorporating Lost (but we couldn't get figure out if the Kingdom of God is like the Hatch, the Island, a Boat or maybe that Polar Bear. Then we saw jefe's post about the new Superman movie. It made us laugh. We like to laugh. And Scrapbook. We really like to scrapbook. So we decided since there's all this controversy over the new Superman movie- Is he gay? Is he Jesus? Let's make it the parable! And since scrapbooking works best when people collaborate and share their materials: let's share our subversive parable ideas!
So we're hosting our own subversive superhero parable contest:
You have heard it said that Superman is gay...
