Comicbooks as moral guides.

[Zombieneighbours]

Right, as some of you know i don't believe in god/gods.

I also am not really that enamoured of the teachings of the bible in many places.

So much so, that i now believe that comics and litriture hold more 'truth' about the human condition and morality than scripture ever can.

I'm hardly the first to make this connection but i am the first to start a facebook group on the subject. So please, if you feel the same join up here. Comic books are a better guide to morality than scripture..

I'm gonna assume you mean the older stuff and the current blood and guts storylines. Would I be correct in this?

To be honest, is am thinking of most of the range of modern human creativity.

But if i had to pick out specific examples, i would say the entirety of sandman, corelline, american gods, hellblazer and spidermans origins stories would be great examples.

Well, there is Luke 12:48, From whom much is given, much is expected, though I suppose one could debate whether or not the same sentiment was being expressed.

Peter parker is somewhat let prone to considering jealousy being a virtue see

'You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and the fourth generation of those who reject me'
