Spirituality and Doctor Who Day. The bandwagon starts rolling?

I can’t help think that RTD is throwing these themes into DW as a way to diminish their credibility, but there’s always someone who doesn’t get the joke…

Did you see the interview with Mark Lawson? Despite his devout atheism, he clearly has some interest in (and respect for) religious symbolism…

Undeniably, religious symbolism makes for some of the most powerful and universally shared storytelling elements we have.

I think that shows from everything to the near-ubiquitous nature of the same themes recurring in the various religions over the ages all the way up to comic books and superheroes.

They are always with us.
