A Theatrical Revelation

[bjarvis]

We had a revelation tonight after seeing "Mary Poppins" at the Kennedy Center this afternoon (thanks to bearfuz for getting us such great seats).

Mary Poppins is Jesus!

Consider the following:

1. She appears after a burnt offering, the kids' list of requirements torched by dad... That's pretty miraculous, IMHO.
   
2. She is practically perfect.
   
3. She can feed the masses with minimal effort with her cake enhancement magic.
   
4. She cures the sick with a little bit of sugar in addition to her medicine. We suspect this is also an aspect of the water-into-wine superpower.
   
5. She animates the inanimate.
   
6. She brings a code of conduct and behavior to her followers.
   
7. She shows mercy and compassion to the rejects of society and scorn to the wealthy and vain.
   
8. Woe unto those who suffer her wrath! See how she visits justice upon the transgressors, especially where toys are involved.
   
9. She returns from oblivion after three days.
   
10. She faces her evil counterpart, the Holy Terror Ms Andrew, and vanquishes the anti-Poppins.
    
11. Her work done, she returns to the heavens from which she came.
    

Case closed.
