Superman vs Yahweh



We all know that the Christian God is an annoying scumbag even though Christians describe him to be a “compassionate” God. There are many stories of demons and monsters in mythology. And, I find no one to be as malevolent as the Christian God. But, still Christians are never convinced that they are worshipping nothing but a demon. I pity people who see Yahweh as a hero. In this article, let me make a comparison between Superman and Yahweh, and show in a simple way, that Yahweh doesn’t even have the qualities of a simple superhero.

 Demanding Worship
Superman fights all kinds of criminals and protects his city and the rest of the world from evil forces. But, he never commands anyone to worship him. Plus, he doesn’t even want credit for the good things he does. That’s why he disguises himself as a simple man most of the time and uses his powers only when they are needed.

Yahweh, on the other hand, takes credit for things he didn’t do. If a poor man gets some money from a friend, Yahweh gets the credit. If a sick man is healed by his doctor, Yahweh gets the credit. If a Christian is stuck in a building that is on fire, and you save his life, instead of thanking you, he will probably thank Yahweh. So, apparently, Yahweh hardly does anything good but still takes credit for the good others do. Still, Yahweh demands that you worship him. And, anyone who doesn’t will be drowned or will be tortured for eternity.

Defeating their enemies

Superman has got lots of enemies and he defeated almost all of them. 

But, Yahweh has only one main enemy- Satan. Still, Yahweh has never even done anything against Satan. Sometimes it seems that Yahweh and Satan are actually friends in secret.

Creating evil

Superman has never helped any criminals or created any evil himself.

But, Yahweh himself is the cause of many evils in the Bible. I know that Yahweh doesn’t exist, but if he did, Yahweh would be to blame for most of the problems we have today. 

Conclusion

It is a bit sad that people are worshiping a malevolent demon just because they are afraid of going to hell. But, they need to understand that neither Yahweh exists and nor does hell. Plus, believing in an afterlife ruins the value of the life we are living. We don’t have evidence for any afterlife. We do have little evidence for reincarnation, but that is not enough. So, we should value the lives we have because once it is over, everything may be over for us. And to spend our precious lives worshipping a demon hoping he will reward us after death is really pathetic. People need to grow up, already. If they don’t, they are free to waste their lives for nothing.

Blessed are the merciful.
