There's been a lot of talk making the point that Superman is analogous to Jesus now that the new movie is out. A bunch of 'I am sending you, my son, to them...' Blah, blah, blah.

I have some points that refute this:
1) Jesus did not have x-ray vision, flying ability, human shielding capability, etc. Superman does. Jesus could walk on water and turn water into wine, but who can't nowadays?
2) Superman was invented by a couple of bored comic writers. Jesus was not.
3) Jesus could be hurt/killed by humans- yeah, he was resurrected, but he died at first. Jesus didn't have a special weakness that was exploited by people. Superman can't be killed by human hands- even Lex Luther can't kick his ass with a mountain full of kryponite.

Um, yeah. Saw the new movie- it was pretty good, Adam was beyond excited about it though.
