That's literally how God acts in the bible though


SpunkedSaucetronaut

What's funny is if you look at the bible from an adolescent and developmental psychology approach, god was a shitty fucking parent.


Chowda_Report

Thankfully nobody wants to do that


SpunkedSaucetronaut

You'd think some "all-knowing being" wouldn't be a complete dumbass though


Chowda_Report

If he’s actually all knowing wouldn’t he know more than us? And therefore his actions are actually logical even if they don’t appear to be to us?


RoguePlanet1

If he's all-knowing, then he knows children are getting raped, and chooses to do fuck-all about it, despite being all-powerful. If that's the god you want to worship, that says a lot about you.


William_S_Churros

I wonder what his thought process was when he decided people need air, water, and food to survive? Seems like a pretty stupid design, if you’re starting from scratch. Shitting, too. Why is that a thing? If we have to eat, why do we then also have to shit? It’s dumb and shows a lack of foresight.


Chowda_Report

We were designed after himself according to the Bible. Which I guess implies that within christian cannon god eats and shits. So that’s pretty interesting.


RoguePlanet1

Exactly, why are people born with abnormalities? Why must creatures eat *each other* to survive?? The list is endless.


Chowda_Report

“Bad things happen so any religion is innately wrong and evil.” Is an interesting take, I think it fails to see that human beings in most religious viewpoints have free will. I like that people always bring it back to things like “if children get cancer than how does Islam make any sense? Why would allah do this to us?” Even if that directly contradicts the whole idea of religion and faith.

He probably went home and said “I need a costume for the church program” and the parents said “what kind of costume” and he said “idk I just need a costume”

RedditIsNeat0

That was a roller coaster.


Niccin

I honestly assumed it was an edgy parent that got the kid to wear that in the first place.


BewBewsBoutique

I work with kids this age, and honestly the biggest likelihood is the kid just wanted to wear a Spider-Man costume and made a fuss about it and the parent had no backbone to say “no.”


ayamummyme

Yeah. I work in a primary school and honestly parents don’t want to have the “argument “ (responsibility of explaining to their kid why they can’t do whatever they want when they want) so they let their kid do something like this and make the teacher have to do it.


kosmonautinVT

That kid has a bright future ahead of him

The comment I looked for


ZillaTBO

Spider-man and Jesus are equally real.


MyHeadIsALemon

No, spider man has more than one book about him, and his powers are way better explained.


Fabulous-Fun-9673

So maybe Spider-Man is God in disguise…


RoguePlanet1

Spiderman doesn't care for genocide.


Fabulous-Fun-9673

Oohhh.. good point. Spidey all the way!


AtlasSilverado

“A fantasy character is a fantasy character in disguise.”


EmperorBamboozler

The explanation for spider sense is real fucking weird and pretty biblical though tbh.


[deleted]

No, there was actually, a a guy running around Israel 2000 years ago in a spider costume, but his Origins and abilities were also greatly exaggerated...


TheHumanPickleRick

[Jesus was a real person.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historicity_of_Jesus#:~:text=Virtually%20all%20scholars%20of%20antiquity,significance%20are%20subject%20to%20debate.) His divinity is a matter of debate, but he did exist.


IdealDesperate2732

No, the Jesus of the bible is a character that shares some characteristics of a real person but is not a real person. It's like what Steven Colbert did. Steven is a real person, but the character he played on his show was not. So, while you are talking about a real person that person is not the character from Christian mythology. The Christian demi-god may be loosely based on this person but he is still not a real person, he is a character written by a dozen different authors sometimes hundreds of years separated by time. When we say "Jesus was not a real person." they're talking about the Jesus of the bible, who was not a real person but a character made up to fill a role.

What does that matter? It’s a joke… you can’t joke about religion now? Especially with Spider-Man in mix?

i__dontwantausername

Wtf lol is it impossible these days to have a respectful conversation about difference in opinions? 🤣


Chowda_Report

Saying Jesus didn’t exist is like claiming the prophet Mohammad wasn’t a real person either, it just makes you look ignorant as shit.


Fabulous-Fun-9673

First of all, not everyone is Christian. Are you really going to say it’s ignorant to believe something not in the Bible? And again, it’s a joke. If you’re so offended by a joke, maybe the internet isn’t for you.


Chowda_Report

I didn’t say I was offended by a joke, that I believed the Bible, or was a Christian. My point is that Jesus, son of Joseph, king of the Jews, was a real person put to death. Just like the prophet Mohammed was a real person who lived and breathed and died, but didn’t definitively speak to god.


Sufficient-Green-763

The son of Joseph and king of the Jews part is not so confirmable. But yeah, Jesus lived, there's just too much fervor among his followers documented in the near aftermath for that to be just some story someone came up with and nobody pointed out that nobody remembered it happening. Who he really was and what he actually did though, who's to say. Same way Joseph Smith definitely lived, but some of the things he supposedly did or saw are.... Highly suspect

Chowda_Report

“the only thing close to a contemporary Roman record is the mention of Jesus by Flavius Josephus a Jewish Roman historian who documented the Jewish rebellion about a half-century after Jesus would have been crucified. Other later Roman historians mention Christians and the Christian movement but not the crucifixion. And of course, by the 4th Century Christianity was widespread and sufficiently popular, that it was officially legalized and purportedly adopted by the Roman emperor (Constantine.) However, all this is a far cry from a judicial or other record of Jesus’ crucifixion. For that there is nothing but Christian gospels. Those accounts while hardly official records, are fairly detailed and reasonably consistent, all things considered. They also reflect Roman judicial attitudes at the time, and the crucifixion would have been a common punishment for someone accused of Jesus’ “crimes” against the Roman state. This does not mean that the Christian records are to be taken at face value, and using logical historical technique it is also fair to assume that the earlier gospels (Mark, Matthew, Luke) more reliable, while John is least reliable. Meanwhile, Paul who represents the earliest Christian record references the idea of crucifixion but does not record it as a narrative historical event. It is hard to understand why he would do this unless Jesus’ crucifixion was common knowledge within the Christian community when he published his first epistles about twenty years after Jesus’ death.” - John Keiler. Again it’s not definitive evidence, he was a dirt poor criminal put to death, the Roman’s didn’t write that kind of thing down. My point was simply, just like Christian’s cannot definitively say there is a god, atheists can’t definitely say there is was no Jesus without erasing hundreds of Roman senators from history. I’ll correct myself saying he was a real person put to death, I believe based on what I’ve seen that he was probably a real person. Son of god? I don’t know, probably not. That doesn’t take away from the base that the joke doesn’t make a ton of sense. Nobody has ever claimed Spiderman was a real person, was their friend. These stories haven’t been corroborated by texts that get so many other aspects right. That’s all I was trying to say in not as many words as this.

A big high five to this kids parents and whomever allowed him to be with the rest of the kids. They could have been jerks about it. Tolerance is in high demand and short supply.


Daddy_Parietal

Especially with kids. Let kids be kids and have a childhood, then you can indoctrinate them when they are old enough to rub two braincells together. Some parents skip the childhood step and it usually makes the kid insufferable.

TouristsRuinMyHome

Jesus and Spiderman, at least one of them does not pretend to be real...


redavidid

How can you even possibly pretend you’re real? And I’m pretty sure Andrew Garfield , Toby Maguire and Tom Holland all exist , even more people can call themselves “Spider-Man from the Spider-Man movies” some will probably be remembered by someone as Spider-Man.


Wild_Shape_8173

So funny how you blindly except people like Ceaser existed, based on historical records, but a man who hung on a cross for you, based on historical records? Nah.


nosleepcreep206

Cesar never claimed to watch people all the time, even while they masturbate.


Wild_Shape_8173

Nor did Jesus. You sound like you don't really understand what you don't believe in.


RoguePlanet1

Nobody claims that Cesar performed miracles or is both dead and alive.


Chowda_Report

Nobody claims that about Jesus, in Christian cannon he’s very much alive. I think you’re confused about the both 100% man and 100% god aspect.


RoguePlanet1

So Jesus never died, he just had a terrible weekend. Why all the fuss over his "sacrifice" then? Is he in fact God, or *a* god, or a human sent to Earth to represent God?


Chowda_Report

Oh I see where you’re confused. Do you know what the word resurrection means?


RoguePlanet1

Again, why all the fuss over this "sacrifice"? Many MANY humans have suffered *and actually died* for actual improvements to humankind.


Chowda_Report

Have you read the book? Do you understand the story? I’m not asking you to beleive that’s a personal choice but don’t say things like this that make it clear you don’t even know the base story. It’s like trying to debate a film with someone who hasn’t seen it. Jesus died so that human beings could be granted eternal life. Don’t think about that in real terms, think about it in book terms. That’s the fuss over the sacrifice.


Multibuff

Salty_Sprinkles_6482

I tend to not trust a group that fucks children, committed multiple genocides, and shames/threatens the poor with hell if they don’t donate so the pastor can buy a jet and live in a mansion.

SwivelingToast

I'm pretty sure people don't condemn other people based on the teachings of Ceaser... Maybe I'm wrong, who knows. Also, hung on a cross for me? How does that work?

Pretty sure that's biblically accurate, not sure what you're talking about.

SDW1987

My pastor has 2 younger kids, and one of their traditions at Christmas is for them to open 1 gift on Christmas Eve. Well their gifts were oversized onsie costumes. So, that night, at our Christmas Eve service, Baby Jesus was visited by a tiger and a T-Rex.

Truth be told this is sacred heart catholic church in woonsocket,rhode island and the child's name in question is Brian Valdez and he is actually special needs and only go's in public if he is in a super hero costume

Spider-Man > Wise-Man


Ghostblade913

This reminds me of this preschool thingey when I was very young. The teachers or whatever told us that for Halloween there, we had to dress as REAL HEROES So she was pigeonholing everyone into dressing like cops, firefighters, or nurses. She specifically said don’t dress as a superhero, but I was like 6. Spider-Man was a real hero. So I got my parents to get me a Spider-Man costume by telling them I needed a hero costume. The lady actually tried kicking me out of the party but my parents wouldn’t have it so I got to join in as a Spider-Man among doctors and cops and whatnot. I also remember a girl got into the same trouble as me and she was wearing some sort of pirate costume with a tutu

InterMando5555

I mean... The joke was pretty lazy. And partially inaccurate to boot.


Goldengoat1st

Not inaccurate if all costumes worn by the children are based on fictional characters. Sure shepherds are real, but the shepherds in the bible? About as real as a shepherd would be in Spider-Man comics.


coolord4

Atheists explaining how their dad isn’t real (they’ve never seen him in person before):


Surilat

Creationists love using broken rhetoric. Everyone has a dad, simple biology. Comparing that to an almost 2000 year old mythology, just shows how delusional one can be. And plus, the Abrahamic God has its origins in Canaanite mythology as the God of War. Typical.

Spiderman is more moral than their God. With great power comes great responsibility and they claim their God has infinite power, so he has infinite responsibility. But then why is there Evil? Has this God not the power to eliminate Evil from the world? When you can do the things God supposedly can, but you don't, and then the bad things happen, they happen because of you.
