The following information may not be what some people want to hear or consider, but we believe it is important for those interested in God and spiritual things to reflect on the following.

Thinking it might be a separate study in literature, I looked up the list of genres: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_genres

Of course the prime reason for all these Super Heroes is to confuse the facts concerning Jesus. The ones writing equate the ‘imaginations’ about Jesus with the Super Stars and come out with everything being a myth. Even very little children actually talk to each other about being real. A video clip I saw recently showed two kids (about four years old) arguing about whether one little boy was real or not. Imagine!

Then, there is the imagination that invents all this fiction—science fiction, or whatever fiction it is—it is all imagination and thus, when told for ‘truth,’ becomes nothing but lies.

· Luke 1:51—He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

· Romans 1:21—Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

· 2 Corinthians 10:5—Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

· Revelation 21:27—And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

· Revelation 22:15—For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

Those who make the lies are no different than those who love them; they will both find themselves outside of the eternal city. So it makes no difference whether the ones who lie in making up all this imagination, or the ones who love the lies someone else made. They are under the same condemnation.

You will find more evidence against the “love and make a lie” people here: (Rev. 21:27; Rev. 22:15, as well as Luke 1:51; Romans 1:21 and 2 Corinthians 10:5).

I don’t think we can come on too strong. What really GETS me is when you just LOOK at the powers of the Superheroes: there’s no glory left for God!

The second thing that GETS me is that of all these characters, how many are good? Even if they “seem” good at first, they deviate. Don’t tell me that’s not planned.

And we encourage our kids to love these lies! I wonder what they’ll say to us on the other side of eternity. As NASTY as these are, it amazes me how prevalent they are.

We may as well stop trying be overly polite – not that we want to be harsh, or push folks away, but are we sacrificing truth in order not to ruffle folks’ comfort zone. Really? I think we’re running out of time.
