This morning on the subway there was a Bible-thumping woman going full steam to the silent disapproval of the rest of the car. When Trixie was settled in a seat and realized what was going on, she asked me "Is it a story?" So I said "yes," because that's Trixie-speak for "Do I have to be quiet and listen?" and I didn't want to get into a theological discussion with a three-year-old whose volume control seems to be permanently set on Inform the World.
Bible-thumper ranted on about the Lake of Fire and the necessity of embracing Jeesus--oh yes, Lord!--right here and now--on the way to enjoying the Wages of Sin, which is Death.
After a while Trixie looked a little disappointed so I leaned down to say, "It's not a very good story, is it?" and she nodded in agreement. In your FACE, Sunday school!
