Satan? Who?
We all laughed at Dana Carvey on SNL and his portrayal of the Church Lady, at least I did. I have no delusion that he was trying to warn people of the ever-present threat from the enemy of God, rather it was meant to mock and make fun of a concept (Satan) that the Christian church holds to. That’s ok. We shouldn’t have such thin skin that we can’t laugh at ourselves and how some of our beliefs make for some pretty funny caricatures. That said, the subject of Satan is no laughing matter in reality. Yet, we hear nothing of him anymore. There was a time when “hell, fire, and brimstone” were the main characters in the Gospel message, at least…
