That Will Not Scare The Demons

Demon: You should watch a movie tonight.

Tom: I think you’re right. I will.

Demon: What are you in the mood for?

Tom: Something dark, I think.

Demon: Nice.

Tom: Ah, but here’s the thing. I’m going to view a dark movie with my Christian worldview.

Demon: Ooh, I’m really scared. Please don’t write a blog post reviewing the film which persuades other Christians they can watch dark movies, too. Whatever you do, don’t do that.

Tom: I’m going to. I’m going to write a blog post reviewing a dark movie with my Christian worldview.

Demon: Oh, no. How will I ever recover? Are you going to watch Fight Club again?

Tom: Yes, and I’m going to review it with my Christian worldview.

Demon: Fine, but whatever you do, don’t watch and review The Wolf of Wall Street with your Christian worldview.

Tom: Maybe I will, actually.

Demon: Is your blog post going to, like, talk about the nihilism in the movie?

Tom: Yes.

Demon: (yawning) Oh, no. Not that. You don’t think the movie has hidden Gospel themes, do you?

Tom: I might talk about the hidden Gospel themes in my review, too.

Demon: (lighting a cigarette) Oh, God. Please. Anything but that.

Tom: What are you going to do about it?

Demon: There’s nothing to be done. I’ll probably just go take a nap until it’s over.
