In this service, our theme is Unmasking Evil. And interestingly, the central character we're exploring isn't Batman. It's the Joker. The Joker has a rather disturbing view of humanity. He believes that deep down, we're all selfish, fearful, and capable of terrible things. All our kindness, morality, and goodness? Just masks we wear.

And he believes that if he creates enough chaos, those masks will eventually fall off.

Now, I don't know about you, but I find that a rather uncomfortable thought. Because we all know moments when anger, fear, or frustration bring out a side of us we're not particularly proud of. So today, we're asking: Is the Joker right? Is goodness just a mask? Or is there another way to live, even when the world around us seems to fall apart?
