There are some brief spiritual gems in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Saga that caught my eye. One of them was a quick statement in Breaking Dawn that opened up a spiritual parallel that has a subtle strength throughout the series—that of members making up a body that needs a definite head. There are good examples of spiritual leaders throughout this saga both on the werewolf side of things and on the vampire side.
Another spiritual gem that is quite obvious is the parallel of the vampire with spiritually dead man. Meyer presents vampires as walking, talking corpses, which makes an interesting picture of the spiritual condition of unregenerate man.
We just watched Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen and have returned to the studio, along with our guest, Chris Jones, to give you our initial reactions. What did we think of the movie? None of us were impressed. Our overall opinion is to stick to the first movie, especially considering this sequel’s excessive sexual humor, foul language, and weak plot.
