The Amazing Spider-Rule

The spiderman scriptures have pictures, so I'm going with that one

Have you ever seen a picture of God? Checkmate theists.
2,000 years later .... Spider-man is now a 100,000 word bible spread across 50 books of the prophets
- and actually written by 2 or 3 guys
Does this mean Spiderman counts as an illuminated manuscript?

The Devil infamously appears in Spider-Man.
The Devil is (mostly) canon in the Christian multiverse.
I met Spider-Man at my 8 year old birthday party.

Conclusion: All 3 are real, or I'm not real. Advances in ontology necessary to say with certainty.

Peter would not enjoy this meme.

- Why does that sound like something deadpool would say?

Isn't it the same god in the first two as well?

They are the same in a sense the Amazing Spider-Man and the Spectacular Spider-Man are the same.
- This is the best way of understanding religion. If you understand comic books, you understand the history of religion exactly as well.
  Edit: Except for the geographic component it us exactly the same. Like, in egyptiqn myth each god kind of takes their turn being the juiced-up heel. In greek myth ares is kind of usually a dick but sometimes hes a dick to the other guy but when he shows up in a wonder woman thing hes always gonna be fuckin shit up. Loki is usually a lovable 'what the fuck did you do!?' playful accidental antagonist or transgressive guile hero and pretty genderfluid but when going after the hulk or dr. Strange always uses he/him pronouns for some reason.
  Edit: also i think at least one batman villain has crossed over with pro wrestling and that means the POTUS in our story has been punched by someone whos shaken a hand that has punched multuple members of the justice league.
Bunch of heathens following Ben Reilly /s
The problem is the theology doesn't match, there is no common god of Christians, Jews, and Muslims because Christians believe Jesus is god and divine and neither of the others do meaning their god's identity is different. Christians and Jews believe the Quran contains lies, Muslims and Jews believe the Christian bible contains lies, and Christians and Muslims believe the Jewish bible contains lies. Hell even within each there are sects that believe different things about god, like Christians who believe they are saved by being chosen, by faith alone, or by faith and works. These are unreconcilable differences that change based on their beliefs about their god.
Religions when formed usually branch from an existing religion (e.g. Christianity started as a Jewish apocalyptic cult, Mormon branches from that, etc), but change the theology enough so that the old clergy/church is no longer valid wrt the new faith position.
- Trinity beliefs only were established around 400 AD as dominant in Christianity, however to this day there are non-trinitarian Christians. Christians still understand themselves as monotheists and are also considered "people of the book" in Islam, just like Jews are.
  Most versions of the bible say that Jesus didn't break with the scripture before, but confirms and expands it. Subsequently Islam does the same, with some corrections, most notably the clear rejection of trinitarianism. The prophet whose story is shown the most in the Quran is Moses.
  As far as i can tell from the translations i have read, neither the Bible nor Quran specifically oppose previous scripture.
Allah is "the god" in Arabic and applies to the Abrahamic religions. Similar to Algebra but also has a contraction with the Al/"the" part.
Jah

new atheist energy

"If god not exist, who is deleting the comments?!" lol
- honest question, why did that guy delete his comment? I'm assuming someone else saw it
- Lmfao
- deleted by creator
  At least not deleted by the creator, huh?

Pastor: With great power...

Congregation: comes great responsibility

Allah and God are the same god...

Both non-existent?
- That too, I'm just pointing out the redundant lore references
Kinda absurd how many Americans expect arabic-speaking Christians to call God "God."
- It's because they're racist ¯(ツ)_/¯
You say that as though the type of person who makes posts like this respects religious people enough to investigate and find that out.
- Why would knowing that matter when it's all bullshit anyways. The Easter Bunny and Santa are actually the same person too!
The extended universe lore is just quite different between the fanbases

this is why I think my ancestors got it right

that thing that the others call god, we called it the great mystery, Wakan Tanka

you aren't going to make any more sense of it beyond that so don't waste your life trying. the grasshopper has as much chance to understand the Internet as we have to understand what life means

This is the most honest, respectful take I think I’ve come across. I find it very healthy to think and feel in this way. We live on a ball of soil and water, orbiting a ball of fire - and that whole thing is drifting through a vast expanse that’s just as mysterious.

This argument fails to account for how I feel. Reading Spiderman makes me want to be a better person.

There is no Spider-Man but Spider-Man, whose truth was revealed to us by the prophet Stan Lee, blessings and peace be upon him

You gotta wait a couple hundred years. It’s like making whiskey

Star trek: more real than any god
Its fine, we're on our way back to that timeline; india is governed by nazi (not even neo) eugenics freaks and the us government is trying real hard for some bell riots.
I have a maintenance manual for a YT-1300 freighter, so I guess Star Wars is real too.

Oh god, are we doing Reddit Atheism on Lemmy now? This sucks shit

What's more annoying than a Reddit atheist? Paying taxes to support your shit church
- I'm not Christian, and don't go to church. I agree that churches shouldn't get tax breaks.
  I still think memes like this are deeply, achingly, cringe

why are internet atheists so embarrassing man... this is literally the same thing as showing a physics book and saying "proof that physics exists" thinking you made an excellent point.

Thing about physics books, you can literally go and prove every single claim in them by yourself, if you have the required technical and intellectual capabilities.
That's why they're fundamentally different to the quran, the bible and Spiderman. Those three consist to a large extent of completely unfalsifiable claims.
- that's why it's a stupid way to make the point. the image just says "they believe it because a book exists" which is not true.
  also it's one thing to not have respect for religion but you gotta respect the hyphen; it's spider-man.
You're entirely right, yet also entirely missing the point.
The proof of Physics existing isn't in the book, and no physicist would claim you take what's in the book on faith, nor that it's unquestionable, nor that other books on physics are lies, nor kill/lynch/shun people for studying the universe through other perspectives like chemistry or mathematics or biology.
Asked for proof of Physics, physicists make predictions that can be reliably reproduced, not telling you to read the Physics book harder.
Regardless, everyone is new sometime, why not provide links, a counter argument or anything useful rather than just deriding them? This way you mostly come off as an ass who doesn't understand the argument.
It makes them feel euphoric
