Superman, Niels Bohr and the Power of Prayer

Superman, having amazing powers and all, could fly up into heaven and see Jesus whenever he wanted to.

Superman VS. God:

Superman has saved the planet for destruction numerous times. Jesus has threatened to return and bring on the end of the earth with him, but so far is a fucking ‘no-show’.

Jesus performed a few miracles, but Superman can shoot laser beams out of his eyes, he can fly, is indestructible, and can see through everything except lead. In one movie he turned back time. How awesome is that?

Jesus may have died for your sins, but Superman died to protect us from an intergalactic killing machine called Doomsday.

When Jesus died, he was resurrected 3 days later and then abruptly left, telling his disciples he’d be back within their lifetimes (an obvious lie). Superman died, was in stasis for a while, and emerged with long glorious 90′s hair. Unlike Jesus, however, Superman stuck around and has been busy keeping the world safe from evil.

Although not a God, Superman still risks his life all the time trying to combat super villains. Jesus, on the other hand, is apparently all powerful, and yet refuses to do something as basic as healing amputees.

Superman can move mountains. Jesus claims praying to him will accomplish the same feat, but no noticeable effects from prayer have ever been measured.

Superman is an expert in dozens of languages, and is an accomplished journalist. Jesus never left any writings, or evidence of any of his works.

Superman hooked up with the insanely hot Lois Lane, while the only women who showed any interest in Jesus were prostitutes.

Jesus said “But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me” (Luke 19:27). Superman, on the other hand, has a strict code of conduct that forbids him to kill anyone.

If you fell out of your apartment window and cried for help, Superman would try and save you. Not only will Jesus not even bother to save you; he will send you to hell for all eternity if you don’t believe in him.

     1) Superman has saved the planet many times but Jesus just threatens to come and destroy it someday for no apparent reason.

2) Jesus performed a few miracles, but Superman can shoot laser beams out of his eyes, he can fly, is indestructible and can see through everything except lead.

    3) Jesus may have died for your sins, but Superman died to protect us from an intergalactic killing machine called Doomsday.

    4) When Jesus died, he was resurrected 3 days later and then just abandoned everyone, even the people who believed in him. Superman died, was in stasis for a while, and emerged with long glorious 90′s hair. Unlike Jesus, however, Superman stuck around and has been busy keeping the world safe from evil.

Never express yourself more clearly than you are able to think.

-Niels Bohr

Matthew 7:7  ”Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

Don't try this one when the situation is dire. You will be very disappointed in the result.

Matthew 21:22 And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith."

This invokes the mystical get-out-of-jail card of Christianity; ANYTHING is possible if you believe strong enough. If you pray and your prayers are unheard, it's your own fault for not having a strong enough faith.

Mark 11:24  Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

Wow, this is a really bizarre concept; seems very similar to creative visualization. Except, it's actually saying you should be delusional to the point of magical thinking and that process will manifest anything you want. Anything at all.

Charles H. Spurgeon  If sinners be damned, at least let them leap to Hell over our bodies. If they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees. Let no one go there unwarned and unprayed for. 

OK, this one is just too stupid to take seriously at all. Leapfrog to eternal damnation? WTF? If they perish with our arms around their knees,what will happen to our arms?
