I did an interview last week with Clint Cooper from the Chattanooga Times Free Press, and it turned into this really nice piece about The Soul of Spider-Man.
An excerpt:The third movie, Palmer said, makes a good catalyst to talk about the nature of sin.
"It's the idea," he said, "that sin is not really deciding purposely to be evil or anti-God but to be self-oriented."
When an extra-terrestrial symbiote attaches itself to Peter in "Spider-Man 3," an already more confident Peter Parker becomes more vengeful, selfish and arrogant.
Similarly Christians, according to the author, decide they know what's best for themselves and determine if something simply feels right -- not considering the consequences -- they should do it.
My favorite part is the "according to the author" aside in that last paragraph. It just made me chuckle.
Anyway, thanks to Clint Cooper for the pub.
