How was Ghost Rider so normalized in its Satan worship? How was this shit so mainstream? Where is Jesus Christ in all this?
>>153518743just keep reading nigga you will see
>>153518743>How was Ghost Rider so normalized in its Satan worshiphe doesnt worship mephisto, he actually hates his servitudehe is just forced to do it because he made a deal with the devil and he is a net-benefit to the universe because he fights demons>How was this shit so mainstream?occultism was popular in the 70s, and so was evel knievel, so ghost rider was a bit of a fad herohe just gracefully transitioned to 90s biker culture allowing him to outlast the fad that created him>Where is Jesus Christ in all this?was supposed to appear, but jim shooter shot down the idea
>>153518771>he doesnt worship mephisto, he actually hates his servitude>he is just forced to do it because he made a deal with the devil and he is a net-benefit to the universe because he fights demonsThey both hate it. Zarathos got screwed just as badly as Blaze.
>>153518743Same reason Mephisto was. So long as you don't actually say SATAN you're fine.
>>153518743Why is Inferno Cop running from the police?
>>153518743>Where is Jesus Christ in all this?He appeared in one storyline, but was later retconned into being a demonic imposter because the whole thing triggered Jim Shooter's agnostic sensibilities.
>>153519476Why would an agnostic be triggered? Isn’t their whole deal not being sure if God exists?
>>153519496For some it means not teaching religion on purpose
>>153519496>>153519522it was a mostly business-related decision of not wanting marvel to be confirmed as an overly Christian one in a B-characters comiche was fine with having christian characters, mind you, or having the occasional christian expression that implies christian faith from the characters, he was just against having their universe have its metaphysics governed by the christian god
>>153518743>How was Ghost Rider so normalized in its Satan worship? How was this shit so mainstream?
>>153519573I bet they just hate not having creative control of the character
>>153520454that is the job of an editor-in-chief, make sure all these comics are at least broadly alignedand just letting ghost rider of all people just casually confirm the existence of the christian God, capital G, would not have gone over well with everyone else or the public
>>153518743do you think satan is real or something
>>153520437This 100%
>>153520493NTA, I think this is the schizo who couldn't grasp the literary roots of the character when he had it explained to him. In all likelihood, he probably does. As far as OP, this is the same self-reporting hysteria Doom caused. You'd see these people squealing about demonic games and unironically have icons of St. Michael on their clothes. Context matters, unless you think a bunch of cannibal masochists creating anti-government terrorist cells and suicide pacts are the basis of your faith. Because without context, that's The Last Supper.
>>153518743He's more of a hell's gatekeeper, dragging demons and the damned back in.
>>153518743GOT A FLAMING HEAD OF HAIR AND A TURBO-CHARGED CYCLE
>>153523531Too many crazies here.
>>153518743You do not want Jesus in Marvel lore. You think you do because you may be christian I guess but its not actually a goodd thing. Superhero worlds are built around idolatry. Like yes the hero characters are idolized but thats just the superficial aspect, the lore of the worlds has full on pantheons and more gods than the egyptians irl. They have totally seperate afterlife systems and judgement for soulss, in these sysstems if you add Jesus he would be "just another God" with no more or less authority than the other ones and the second coming and New Earth wouldnt exist he would just go around being a hippy giving good advice. In a world where strong dudes with powers can literally go into the afterlife and bring back dead people or self ressurect like Superman Jesus doesnt matter. So basically the 80s satanic panic was correct all of this shit is antichrist. Not saying you should drop it just be aware of what youre reading. Sometimes a writer is bold and introduces Jesus into the lore but it does more harm than good. Better to keep it seperated.
What's with the fake Christians?
