Actually, there is a germ of truth here hidden under the religious crap.

We would be a lot better off if children had more real role models and less imaginary ones.

A cultural tragedy. Perhaps one can look up Nasrudin & create new Nasrudin tales....or maybe find some Mid-Eastern old-timers that may have a passing memory of some and reconstruct them from memory.

So much irony...

I've never heard of Early Muslims raping children, though I do hear hear about modern fundie ones and the 12 year old marriage age. The "massacre Political Enemies" is bunk, though they weren't above assassination in raising position, and enforcing beliefs onto others were also denied... by the Koran and Hadiths (Sic). You can tax them a little more, but they have to convert without threat of force. Conversion by threat of force is no conversion at all.


WE would assume the Ponies are Polytheists then, because there's Nightmoon? (Memory Fail)), Discord, and Cellestia.

Now that I'm done defending Islam, let's tackle this fundie.

I'm sorry Islam has no good superheroes from a sphere that has no interest in it. But that's no reason to deride them. Try to make as fun, equvilant heroes who prefer bloodless victory (Like your Own Prophet took Mecca). Don't be a dumb fundie who is the "Stop having fun" guy.

BTW, Guile Heroes are the best. There's a reason the world loves Doctor Who, and he doesn't carry a GUN.

So instead of following some overall good people like Superman and Spiderman, children should adopt a bloodthirsty 7th century Islamic warlord and his even more bloodthirsty successors as examples? If they were in Western comics, they'd be the villains, so you might as well tell kids the Joker is a good role model.

THIS THREAD IS NOW ABOUT PONIES AND PONY RELATED TOPICS.

ALL OTHER TOPICS ARE NOW BANNED."

I'll buy that for a bit.



And whilst Twi is (my) best pony (for aforementioned reasons; your tastes may vary), Derpy is adorablest pony:

Aside from the potentially dangerous stunts they pull to achieve their heroismm, superheroes are usually pretty good role models. They help people, they overcome their own flaws and they tend to have pretty solid friendships.

I don't see a problem here, as long as you give your kids the obligatory 'Superman can fly because he's an alien. you're human so please don't try it' talk.

The geek in me is just stammering over the whole "have no faith" line. Batman is admittedly a lapsed Catholic with leanings towards agnosticism, if not outright rational atheism, but Superman is a devout Methodist, and Spider-Man is a baptized and confirmed Roman Catholic, even being hand-selected by a cosmic entity that was recruiting religious superheroes.

Oh...you mean they're not the "right" faith. Okay then. Makes what you just said not-jibber-jabber.

Man, what does it say about my priorities when THIS is what bugs me about this kind of stupidity?
