Rant: Comics are too sacreligious and about God's

Why is that so huh?Why do they make God's like Zeus,Galactus,Beyonder,Thanos,Odin,Loki and all other gods that I do not even want to mention about into comic book characters.The views of Hell and Heaven.God and Satan are so wrong.Ok I can understand that most people do not believe in God and everything but is this the way to prove it by feeding these wrong messages about who is God and what not in comics is just like or should I say is brainwashing of a child views on God and everything.Why put religion views in the first place.If you do not like religions and you are not a believer then fine.Why put this in comics and put it in a questioning manner such as this?We are comic book viewers and we prefer to have no such things such as this in a comic book ? we prefer our mortal Spider-Man,Batman,Man of Steel such as Superman.Make it enjoying and do not make it to discriminate any religion.

Galactus, Beyonder, and Thanos are "gods?"

I don't mind Thor, Hercules, Zeus and so forth being in comics.

Most writers put their ideas and political views in comics and other writings.

That's the way it is.

So you're saying that having Gods like Thor and Zeus in comics is an insult to your Christianity? Nobody is telling you to believe in the comics. If you really get offended by them for some strange reason, just don't read them, don't try and tell us we can't have our Thor. You SHOULD read Thor, though, not because you should take it as an educational book, but because it's really really good. Nobody, not even Jason Aaron, are trying to tell you what's happening in Thor: God of Thunder is actually real.

@omegma: I'm not sure what your mad about

DC and Marvel have a God equivalent to the Judeo-Christian God that reigns supreme

Good troll 7/10

@dabee:

I was not saying that we should not have Thor dude.You are a Fan that is Okay.What I meant was I read some issues of Spawn and it had some weird stuff and views about God and Satan.That they are the Same and stuff and they like to collect souls.What it means is that Spawn was questioning God's work as if he was some monster and they should not put religions in any comic so that the viewer is not insulted by what he believes in.

@betatesthighlander1:
What I wrote above to the Viewer.

@noteworthington: I am not trolling.

@omegma:

what about Visnu or Shiva?

@cezar_thescribe: What I am saying is that the main thing is that they should never put religions in comics to prevent a person's religious discrimination.

@betatesthighlander1: You mean Espers.

Just stop.

@omegma: I mean Vedic Gods

@omegma: actually most people DO believe in God, sad as that is...

*sigh*

If you don't wanna btch about comics, don't read em, simple as.

I would be more worried about them bringing Angela into comics as a representative of what's part of heaven then them having characters like Zeus. I also suggest you don't read DC's Vertigo.

I'm just wondering why some people get so bent out of shape over religion. I mean ya its a big thing in the world, but last I checked there are other big religions out there and also other big ones before they dwindled down. So...and besides, in the end aren't religions just telling stories anyway? I mean ya its ok to believe in the stuff, but I don't think its anything to get bent outta shape over just because something or someone conflicts with the viewpoints of what said other person is viewing.

@dernman: Nope.

@betatesthighlander1: They should not put any religion for that matter.It is sad.

@omegma: what about Norse gods?

@omegma: Put it this way, In Real Life religion holds supreme authority for some

that does not hold true in fiction

I can literally create a character that would stomp all of biblical/koranic/torah text figures

@dabee: so well said. Couldn't have said it better myself.

And what a good parallel you made about how them asking to remove Gods from comics would be like us asking to remove God from religious texts. Idk if that was inadvertent or not that i made that connection, but it was damn genius. Comparing one fictional God to another. Kudos!

@omegma: nope what?

@betatesthighlander1: Sure you can have Thor but please do not make him into a full Ledged God like some gods that I know.

@omegma: why not?

Please go away. Don't make this a thing. Nobody cares.

@dernman: I do not read DC'S Vertigo.

@betatesthighlander1:Cause that would spoil all the fun of him being half mortal and all that would mean it would be boring to see him destroying everyone in a single strike without using any effort.Do you want it to get boring ?

because Religion/Mythology is interesting and rife with opportunities for cool characters and stories. A Lot of people like reading about characters involved with it and writers seem to like writing about it. anyway comics are fiction and are not brainwashing anyone most of the books that heavily delve into religion are things that you probably shouldn't or wouldn't allow a child to read anyway.

@omegma: when was Thor ever half mortal?

@joygirl: You do not care then fine ignore it ? Why are you not ignoring it and still commenting about it cause it defies your logic.

Thor isnt half mortal. he's half elder god/half Asgardian

The reason gods like Thor, etc. make it in to comics is because they're accepted widely as myths. Comics are just a way of reviving myths and keeping them going. Comic book character are today's mythology in many ways, maybe just more commercial

There's a lot of religious people on this site

you shouldn't try to offend them

@betatesthighlander1: Sorry I meant half Asgardian cause a Demigod means a half god and all.

@omegma: oh yeah, their wierd about that

He was being offensive but don't stoop to his level.

SUCCESSFUL TROLL IS SUCCESSFUL.

But aren't all religions myth anyway? I mean definition myths are just stories, and don't all religions tell stories? So...unless I am completely missing some big point here, it should all be ok.

usually not to the person practicing said religion

Well clearly but what I mean is, they all tell stories right? So....I mean I don't get the problem, I don't see people getting bent out of shape with Greek religion is brought up, or Indian or some other religion. Granted they aren't as big as the bigger ones now but they are still there.

Take your own advice, is what would be my advice. If you don't like what Spawn has to say about God/Satan, then you can just ignore it or not read it. You're missing out, though, it's really good stuff. Todd McFarlane, I'm sure, never intended for Spawn to be taken as a historical account, however.

well there ya go. most of these religions are relatively dead whereas Christianity is arguably the most practiced religion today. personally i don't care about it. if by some off chance , i find something that offends me as a christian, ill be an adult and stop reading it.

I see there is a difference between a religions that have been generally abandoned then the ones people follow to this day.

@omegma: See, this is what I absolutely hate. You start a thread on a public forum, then ask people who don't agree with you to ignore it and move on, all the while totally ignoring any other religious opinion other than your standard Judaeo-Christian beliefs. So...essentially...you're only open to the idea of respect for God under the Christian definition without any conscientious objectors. Are you surprised that people aren't receiving your point well?

First of all, a very close pal o' mine is a practicing pagan whose pantheon is comprised of the old Norse gods. He's certainly more devout than most people I've ever met, and he's got his own conflicted opinions on the portrayal of Thor, so certainly he can sympathize. However, he also understands that it's a money-making piece of fiction and does little to change his personal beliefs.

Similarly, I'm a Christian, but freaking love Preacher and Transmetropolitan and Hellblazer (depending on the writer). I can enjoy it, because I understand the difference between a creative team telling a story that touches on popular religious figures and my actual faith. See, my faith isn't so weak, so poorly understood , and so ready to fail that it will shatter at the first sign of a new idea. Sorry to see that's not a trait we share, apparently.

Comics are an escape from reality. It isn't discrimination to represent God or Thor or Jesus or Joseph Smith any way the creators/publishers want to. Because comics are fiction, and (at least according to my religious text of preference) God is real. If you can't delineate between fiction and reality, then...well, you have bigger problems than the internet can solve.

Stop giving religious people a bad name. Or at least stop pretending you understand yours.

PREACH BROTHER!!!!!

@thefool: Literally the first post to him was I don't like you or your opinions. Then the others were dismissive or calling him a troll. You don't think that would make a person defensive?
