Comic Book Religion
I’m always fascinated with the infinite ways in which religion is intertwined into pretty well any aspect of life — and indeed, afterlife. Recently, I stumbled across this curious Web site called, Comic Book Religion. Over 25,000 comic book characters and their religious affiliation are available to browse.
I have to admit, that I know little about comics; however, I do surround myself with geeks, freaks and assorted fan boys/girls. I’ve been exposed to comic books through one channel or another for my entire life. Yet, I’d never really given thought to whether any of the heroes or villains I’d heard about had anything at all to do with anything remotely religious.
Now, with just a few clicks, I can find out that Spider-Man was Protestant; The Thing, Jewish; and Green Arrow an agnostic. And now you can, too!
