Flash A-AHHHHH; The Theology of a 4 yr. Old

Andrew and Brad are sitting on the bed having a great father and son moment watching Flash Gordon on a Monday night. Brad thinks back to his childhood in 1980 watching Flash at the movie theater. He views it differently now, but through Andrews eyes. However, it wasn't as much through Andrews eyes as he throught when Andrew asked, "Daddy?" "Who is the Saviour of the Universe?" Brad ponders knowing that Andrew has just listened to the soundtrack performed by Queen repeating that Flash is the Savior of the Universe. Responding like a good Christian Dad, Brad tells Andrew, "Jesus is the Saviour of the Universe." With a dissapointed look, and knowing the answer to the question before Brad responded, Andrew exclaimed, "Flash is the Saviour of the Universe." "Jesus doesn't beat up the bad guys....only Super Heroes do."
