Joint Venture: Christ and the Twilight Saga

In either the weirdest case of piggy-backing ever, or a canny move by the Church to get more hip…

The Twilight Saga through a biblical lens, with themes of sexual abstinence before marriage and the return of the young ‘uns to romance before instant gratification in this modern-day world of depravity, godlessness etc etc etc. As Twilight Saga author Stephanie Meyers is a Mormon, I can’t help wondering if she ghost-wrote this book? Does the church even believe in ghosts? Or is giving the thumbs-up to the undead enough of a stretch for one year?

The Church is Now Backing the Undead?

My copy hasn’t arrived yet, but I’m looking forward to hearing how they tackle the morality of a 107 year-old man hooking up with a minor. Also can’t wait to hear how they deal with the fact that Bella is foaming at the mouth to get said geriatric into bed – it is really only one of them who is promoting abstinence. Now that I think about it, I’m not even sure the Edward character is promoting abstinence… he’s just not into necrophilia and if he accidentally bites/eats/kills his girlfriend during sex… well, you see where this is going.

Lastly, if they should happen to address the way the 107 year-old undead guy sneaks into the minor’s room to watch her sleep before they even get together – I’ll be all ears. We used to call this stalking, but that is so 1918. Just ask the undead geriatric.

Hurrah for the return to romance!
