Is the guy in the second panel Quasimodo?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

Looks like PvZ.

That is Gargantuar from the hit 2009 video game Plants vs Zombies

In turn, could Jesus lift Mjölnir?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Probably. Dude was a prototypical pacifist and would probably use it for carpentry.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Nah, the comics make a point that "worthy" is based on Asgardian morals, not Christian. Pacifists couldn't lift it because Asgardians are expected to be warriors.

Darn, today I learned that Mr. Rogers was ready for war.

People said it was just a rumor that he was a Navy Seal, but that artist knew the truth.

Mfer could drive 9 inch nails with 1 hit

the original undermines its own message: they are lifting it, even if barely and with difficulty, which implies that those characters are within an order of magnitude or so of literal divine power.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 11 months ago (3 children)

To be fair, Jesus' message (some of it, scripture is not univocal) is that divine power is within the grasp of us mere mortals. That everyone who follows him would be able to do miracles like his.

(Apologists suggest he was referring to just the apostles to explain why the rest of us are bound by naturalism, but there are implications that's not what he meant.)

Note that Gospel Jesus was big on direct evidence.

That said, the cross was made of wood, and Jesus wasn't the only convict tasked with carrying one. The gravity is in being willing to die for one's principles which all of these characters would do unflinchingly.

I think that's canonically true for Goku and Hulk

Since Goku existed and has always been a Christ figure?

Sun Wukong is way cooler than Jesus

[–] [email protected] 31 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Goku has died way more times than Jesus. That probably gives him an edge.

Regarding the original panel: Powerscaling is so dumb. Fine, your imaginary character is stronger than mine. Now, what?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

Might makes right, obv.

OK so I have questions about this cartoon. I get Hulk, Mr Incredible and Goku, but why Mighty Mouse?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago

It's like they've never seen an episode before. He was always lifting up crosses and crucifying Jews.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 11 months ago (4 children)

To appeal to children, which is an important focus of religious propaganda.

Curious what sins mice do.

Fun fact: all mice are devil worshippers
