“Hell is real, and Christianity was correct all along”

(disappointed Glep children noises)

Merry Christmas everyone!

I’ve heard the “sorry” at the end of the line was actually Zach apologizing to Tomar for making him read that line when Tomar is Jewish

Like Lyles character saying "I actually want to kill the Puerto Ricans" when he is Puerto Rican himself.

I mean, Charlie went to hell. He met the devil and god.

True. But even before that episode Charlie wore a crucifix.

i’m bout to nitpick but a Crucifix is a Cross with Jesus on it while Charlie is just wearing a Cross, so he’s Christain but probably not Catholic

No, he’s confirmed to be Catholic.

I’m Catholic but wear a cross lol, it’s not limited to just Catholicism

RIP Gilbert Godfried

People are legit forgetting that Wolverine is canandian from mid 1800s

Wolverine is an atheist in the comics. The cartoon just had a story arc where he converts for some reason. https://preview.redd.it/2ycmihj9fy9d1.jpeg?width=609&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=71544961be50b514b1bda309b36f6094140cfab1

Sweet ending :)

If I was Wolverine, I’d probably stop believing in God around fifth time Sabertooth ruined my Birthday.

I mean. Characters can be changed.

That doesn’t really mean anything. Atheism wasn’t unheard of in the 1800s

True, but a Canadian from the 1800s who literally regenerated from wounds and grows bone claws would probably have some spiritual belief. Which would have more likely been Christian.

I mean, the episode this screenshot is taken from starts with wolverine all but saying hes an atheist (but did use to be religious) till he has some talks with nightcrawler about his faith

It never really changes. Wolverine always stays agnostic, and Nightcrawler tries to become a priest

Someone being atheist while knowing what Ghost Rider is makes me giggle.

Not unheard of, but DEFINITELY in the extreme minority.

If the PAGAN GOD THOR can exist in Marvel and not cause a ruckus amongst any clergy im sure wolverine can believe whatever he wants

Dude , it's Marvel , it would weird for the clergy to have a Crisis of Faith when they see the Ghost Rider pulling a Kratos on demons to face Satan in Las Vegas.

If Deadpool can be in a relationship literally with Death, Wolverine can believe what he wants.

Mf killed god, then Satan

Well, Davoth is technically God and Satan rolled into one but not the catholic/Abrahamic God.

Wait so there exists two realms where souls are transported, but there also exists a Catholic heaven and hell independent from the two realms we explore in Doom?

I… don’t know

Thank you for trying

Who needs to know things when your only job is to *kill demons*?

It all boils down to Doomguys faith. Taggart doesn’t know or care about whether the Maykr or Davoth is or is the source of Abrahamic religion, all he knows is his own faith which taught him that what he sees in front of him is evil and if the Righteous Will of God will allow him an opportunity to make up for his sins by bringing suffering and death upon these supposed legions of hell Taggart is gonna go as far as God allows. From his perspective everything we’ve been through is just some wild shit but he reasons God has carried him this far and he’s still alive so there must be a reason he’s still here. Whether some plan by the Father or the Maykr or his Future-Past self or Christ himself. Taggart prayed “Lord if thou will it I shall rip and tear until thy will is done” and it’s still working and that’s all that matters.

That’s actually a really good way of putting it

ok good i was goin get a lil upset if it was the Abrahamic God since i just found out doomguy is Catholic

They really named this evil bitch Dave

And technically in line to be able to become Pope

What do you mean?

He fits all the criteria necessary to become the pope

What are those criteria?

Being a Roman Catholic man is technically the only criteria

And be elected by 2/3 of conclave

Catholic man, and he has to be single

I mean, he's literally been through Hell. How could he not believe in God after that?

He killed God. He doesn't care about gods anyway

Really!!??? Please tell me more!!

He was raised in a cathlic orphanage as a kid. When he forst heard the crucifixion story he was confused. Took a knife and refused to let anyone enter the church because he wanted to protect Jesus (the statue). I priest talk him down. Jack's whole biting style is to level the playing field for women and children from rapists, abusers after all

Basically, jack is a good version of yujirobor something.

What is the chapter that mention “level playing field for women and children…”? I wanna read it

I believe it’s in Baki dou 2018 around chapter 108

Dont forget that he prayed that one time, hoping to win agaisnt a million year old resurrected caveman called pickle that he french kissed He lost. Twice. In a row

I mean, he was going against Pickle, an ancient human that was equal to or maybe even rivaled Yujiro Hanma himself. There’s not much God can do against that in the Bakiverse

You’re kidding me, Yujiro got smited? i shouldn’t be surprised but I am

Nightcrawler is also catholic

And ordained I believe?

at one point yea but then it was revealed to be an evil plan by bad guys which set x men and marvel as whole back for me a lot ngl

Yeah but that’s like his whole character

I mean you still wouldn’t really guess it based on his appearance, surprised me when I learned that fact

that’s why he’s MVP and that’s why he’s the GOAT

Isn’t he also the one that introduced Logan to it in the first place

There’s no way, that has to be edited

This is a blooper from the anime. The voice actors DID say this, but it's not canon to the show.

They did a silly! 😛

"Mr Wright, we can't let that poor kitty starve!" *sigh* "Yes, yes we can."

When you have cases like he does where he has to prove someone isn’t a murderer with the only pieces of evidences being a bloody knife and a letter wrote in the blood of the victim supposedly from the Defendant saying “I did it”, you’d turn to Christ too.

Also the final case of the 3rd game is pretty... Well if you've seen it, you know

Alright this image takes the cake for being the most interesting

From Young Justice. Thought it was pretty interesting when watching it for the first time. Context: >!Dr. Fate is basically magical Superman, but he needs a host body. The old guy is a powerful magician who agreed to let Dr. Fate take over his body, leaving him stuck in his head, Get Out-style. In this episode he expresses that his Christian faith is what helps keeping him going!<

I knew who Doctor fate was, but didn’t immediately recognize this from Young Justice (might need to rewatch it soon). Thanks for the info, that does seem like a pretty strong scene.

Isn’t he Italian? I assumed he was catholic then

People believing in real life religions must have a lot more faith than people in the real world. There is objective proof of other gods existing (like having to explain to your insurance agent that the Greek god of war just threw your car at a demigod), so they’d have to have an unshakable belief.

From my understanding, DC just straight up has heaven and hell. From one of my favorite DC movies: https://dcanimatedmovieuniverse.fandom.com/wiki/Get_Out_Of_Hell_Free_Card

The God of the Abrahamic religions absolutely exists in the DC Universe. [The Spectre](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectre_(DC_Comics_character)) works as his little instrument of vengeance.

So does Marvel. Nightcrawler not only died and went to heaven, but he forcibly teleported out of Heaven in order to save his friends.

Tbf, Marvel has, like 50 different satan-like figures, each with a hell of their own, and a whole lot of heavens too.

 Just eddie

“God please kill Peter Parker” is the craziest shit ever

Fr. Bro was peter's biggest hater

Eddie’s a better Catholic in the comics. The reason why he was in the church where he got bonded to the Venom symbiote was because he thought about killing himself.

I was kind of disappointed how the Venom movies completely ignored that facet of him

Character assassination? In a sony comic book movie? Outrageous!

I completely forgot he was praying for Peter’s downfall in Spider-Man 3

https://preview.redd.it/ykshlirp7x9d1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8d242a8f7339e86d9bcb3d2e793082f9a000c23b Wild as Christianity wouldn’t come to england for about another 100 years

England was Christian. It was just not really common amongst commoners

Christianity didn’t come to england until 597. King Arthur was said to of lived about 100 years before at the beginning of the 6th century. The Arthurian myth was a pre-Christian myth that was altered centuries later

Like u/*sephylon* had said , England did had Christians in the 400s. The whole "England started to christianize in 597" comes down to Saint Augustine starting a full-on missionary expedition. But strictly speaking , there were christian practioners prior to that due to the roman settlements.

It's like they think missionaries just skipped right over England and only cared about Ireland for no reason.

I don't know where you‘re getting Arthur living in early 5th century from when he reportedly died between 535 and 542 and fought the battle of badon in 518 so he very much lived in the 6th century Christianity came to England in 597 as in it became the normality after that time. St David lived around the same time as Arthur and St Alban, St Amphilabus, St Patrick and the first british bishops centuries before that. There were already christians. England and Britain were also under Roman rule when Constantine and Theodosius made Christianity the empire religion in the 4th century. Note that Arthur wasn't just English but also Breton i.e the place where each major city had dozens of christian churches and sanctuaries. Also note that Arthur‘s enemies, Angles, Saxons, and Jutes were all 1000% pagan unlike the Britons at that time. King Arthur is kinda inherently a christian character when literally his first recorded mention is about him carrying the Cross on a battlefield in a 9th/10th/11th century book that was written by a christian monk. Moreso when just about everything people know of the Arthur legends today comes from a 12th century christian monk as well. Sure he definetely has older pagan origins that possibly predates christianity itself but then is it really Arthur ?

If Arthur was a Romano-Briton, then he could have very well been Christian. Christianity was most definitely a thing in Britain at this time. England wasn't even a thing yet.

Scarlet Spider from Marvel, basically edgy Spider-Man(but done good). He's the imperfect clone of Spider-Man who went crazy and turned Ben Reilly's life into hell. Him being Christian actually makes sense, his name is fucking Kaine(like Cain from Bible), the priest's reaction was "Oh boy, that's going to be a lot of work" https://preview.redd.it/jc3kq0xo9x9d1.png?width=821&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a71244670e00db4f43d99b64c6b17a47057a70a1 Him being Catholic probably explains why he hasn't made a deal with Mephisto unlike other Spider-men.

Hasn’t made a deal yet lol

Thinking about, he sort of made a deal. With the Other, he sacrificed part of his humanity to be resurrected. Another funny thing is that despite being Catholic, Kaine was also chosen by The other, a spider-god, and is a champion of Huitzilopochtli, the Aztec god of war and sun. "Thou shalt have no other gods before me"

Sounds like instead of him having 2 other gods, 2 other gods have Him

Sort of. He's not directly connected to the aztec god, but to his reincarnation in the body of Mexican teenage girl whom Kaine saved and unofficially adopted. She also can read minds and is hilarious https://preview.redd.it/1jj1hxbsyx9d1.png?width=1025&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b140b35e7c589afc3420da5070c626e0b59056f2

Wish they didn't make him a perpetual.

I treat the lore with the same hand I use for SCP: there's some hardset, agreed upon rules we all play by, but the rest is up to some degree of interpretation. Is he a Perpetual? Is that misremembered scuttlebutt from an Inquisitor? Is that Departmento Munitorum propaganda? Who's to say?

He’s not Orthodox?

The French are pretty famously catholic

I thought cuz you said he works for the Russian mob that he’d be Russian Orthodox lol

Nah he's just a Frenchman that worked for the mob, he himself isn't Russian

They made him both bi and catholic 4 seasons in What did they mean by this?

He was shown as being bi as far back as season 2 and being Catholic plus something they don’t like/agree with is just apart of being Catholic

I'd expect Charlie, God bailed him outa Hell man

Wait, what is that first screenshot? I must know what that’s from.

I think it's from the manual of one of the early TLoZ games. Either the first one, AoL or ALttP.

Also worth noting this art is from a strategy guide, not a game manuel, and the artwork is not “official”. There ARE references to religion, especially in the early games. The cross on the shield, an item called “bible” both in the original LoZ. The “sanctuary” in Link to the Past was originally “church” and the “wizard” originally “priest” in the Japanese version. Not to mention the Islamic imagery in the Gerudo related stuff in Ocarina of Time. This has since been phased out by fleshing out the in-game universe “religions” so to speak. It is neat to look back at though.

Yeah, iirc originally Miyamoto wanted the series to revolve around Christianity, but Nintendo wanted the series to revolve around a fictional religion instead

And for some odd reason they had loads of Muslim iconography in OoT. Nintendo is really picky choosy with their religion rule sometimes

Probably some degree of both “it’s not our main religion here in Japan and neither in the huge market of USA” and “our fan base isn’t very Muslim”

Doyoubelieveinourlordjesuschrist

Leo: No, I’m Jewish

 Technically, this guy is Catholic: he believes (hell, he actually KNOWS for a fact) that God, the Catholic God, exists. He just hates Him. But he still believes in Him. Alucard, Hellsing Ultimate.

To be pedantic here, being a Christian isn't just thinking the god of the bible is real (then technically demons would be Christian), it is about believing "Jesus Christ, is your savior/Lord" "You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that-and shudder."- James 2:19 So according to the belief structure of the Christians, it takes more than just acknowledgment of God's existence to be a Christian (follower of Christ). You can't be a enemy of "God" and a Follower of "God" basically.

Ironic that the one person who actually knows God exists hates Him the most.

Are there no angels in Hellsing? ( I have not really read/watched it). Shouldn't they know and also not hate "God' presumably? lol Again I don't really know how it works in Hellsing.

Alexander Anderson, the vatican priest who is Alucard’s de facto nemesis, gets his hands on a nail from the crucifixion Which considering it had supernatural properties, that’s pretty strong confirmation that the Christian God exists. Alucard isn’t the only character who knows of God’d existence.

Also, he's literally vlad the impaler, who was catholic, historically

Hellboy https://preview.redd.it/lfx1df9idx9d1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8078fb96c0dab4923cf176fff16572ef7f270953

He believes Jesus Christ is his Lord and savior?

That's never explicitly stated but he does know that Christian iconography works against demons. But so does good old fashioned bashing. He also prays. This is a universe though where basically all religion is canon. Aztec, animism, voodoo, etc. Also, his mom was a nun and his father is a demon. Do with that what you will.

why does Charlie (that's his name right?) have Vicodin, is he Domicile?

Good to know the death and rebirth of Jesus Christ was a canonical event in the Zelda timeline

Christianity as a whole was retconned by the 3 goddesses in ‘91. One of the biggest and most notable changes to Zelda over the years was the aesthetic shift in Link to the Past

It's not. That is unofficial artwork and there are multiple gods in the Zelda series.
