Top Reasons why Twilight is Stupid
My day job is teaching Bible to public High School students. For a bonus on my Old Testament exam I asked my students to give their “top 10 reasons why Twilight is stupid” in honor of the release of New Moon today. Here are some of the best responses:
> Vampires don’t need to drive cars
> Bella is in love with a dead guy and a dog
> Edward is a pedophile
> Edward can’t decide if he wants to eat Bella or love her
> Edward is still going to High School for some reason
> Only a girl would think it’s cool that a vampire sparkles
> Stalkers don’t usually make great boyfriends
And my personal favorite…
> Edward is in love with his food…what if you loved a hamburger, people would think you were crazy
Got any more?
Meanwhile, check out some of Douglas Wilson’s serious commentary with Twilight.
Oh, and please tell me you clicked the New Moon link above…just do it.
“My day job is teaching Bible to public High School students.”
You get to DO THAT in America? Excellent.
Yeah, it’s through something called released time education…maybe I need to do a post about it, it’s kind of a loophole in the law that local, predominately Christian, communities can exploit to have Christian education for the public school.
It has to be approved by the school board, off campus (we have to bus the kids here), receive no government funding (we are a non-profit, funded by local churches and individuals completely) and they have to have parental permissions.
Over half our kids don’t attend church…they like it because it isn’t gym and they get good (unhealthy) snacks
