I tell Sam that Jesus is the boss of superheros and he seems to appreciate this reasoning. I also tell him that the superheros get there gifts from God. Now obviously this is not in the official storyline of any of these comics. I'm just wondering if it is a good thing to have these guys fighting evil and sometimes even becoming evil in the place of the biblical accounts. Sam likes the rock em sock em action and you don't get a lot of that in the scriptures. So I guess it's action vs good morals and conquering through love. Any thoughts? Fluffy? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why would you lie to your kids like this? You aren't doing them, or God, service by keeping this lie going...you should first repent to God, and then sit the child down and tell him the whole truth. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What lie are you refering to?

Yet none of them did cause or have caused me to have doubt in God because I was "lied to" by my parents. In fact, I don't know of a single person that doesn't beleive in God because they had super heros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
