Interesting

I was scanning some comments in the press today after the Archbishop of Canterbury's comments on the 'persecution' of Christians in our country. The debate was whether or not Britain was a Christian country, was religion relevant in today's culture etc. etc.  My mind switched to last Saturdays Dr. Who episode. As an aside it has had some criticism over the sexy new Dr's assistant, but I digress. In my opinion Dr. Who is a modern day Jesus. Well alright, let me explain. Deep in the dna of mankind is a primeval urge for righteousness, and the need for a 'hero'. We all need a hero. Secular society fulfils this with Superman, Spiderman, Indiana Jones, (isn't he great?) In my day it was Roy Rogers, Biggles, and the spy on the wireless whose name I forget. Society cannot repress God because His dna is planted in every person.

Back to Dr. Who. He is a Time Lord. He is able to move between galaxies, as well as time. Nothing stands in the way of his ability. He has chosen to 'protect' the earth, and clothes himself in a human body, though when scanned by aliens he doesn't register as human. He is eternal, you can't kill the Dr. Every episode is written so the Dr. prevails over evil. I like that. But the most interesting feature of the Dr. is he doesn't want to live without a human companion. Last week he to Amy said he would be back in five minutes, and it was 16yrs? But he came back. Then he went off to run in the new tardis and was away 2 yrs. but he came back for a companion. He had a word of knowledge that the girl he had met all those years ago would be his companion, and he was right. How so Jesus is that?

I'm so grateful we have the real Jesus but if Dr. Who stirs people to seek, that's a bonus.
