Religion? What religion? The only one in this discussion who has a religion, as the dictionary meaning of the word gives it, seems to be you mi amigo.

Sure, Christ is alive now, but before that, he died. So coming back from the dead, that makes one a zombie.

In Christ, I have higher reason/purpose for living. I have no fear of dying. I am confident of my future, eternally.

Nietzsche’s dead, Christ is alive.

I’m thinking your defending Christianity or Catholicism then? Because if you didn’t know Zeus (in your quip “Zeus Mariosep”) is also a god. In fact, people also pray to “Mariosep” which is just a portmanteau of “Maria” and “Joseph”, in case again you didn’t know.

It’s really hard to remove the knee jerk reaction of calling out to someone of higher authority than us, when we’re in trouble. Some big, tough men for example, call instead their mommies, some call an invisible stalker such as the Judeo-Christian god, when in trouble (or in a foxhole as you put it). It’s really hard to remove that especially when you grew up being indoctrinated in all that mumbo-jumbo. This is similar to how people react quickly when say, in a fire, some just freeze and can’t do anything, while others become more alert.

We have nobody you say? That’s weird, since I got my brother, my sister, my friends, relatives, parents, even our dogs and cats.

Why talk thru a salesperson, or the secretary? Go straight to the Manager!
Jesus when asked how to talk to God, He told them first of all who to talk-to: “Our Father”.
Too bad for you atheists (and the likes) trying to poke fun on us who are related with the almighty God. I wonder who you talk-to when you are in a fox hole trying to dodge the bullets and bombs life is shooting at you, do you pray, “Dear Batman…?”. Or maybe, “Zeus Mariosep.” As a former military man (USN), I’ve often heard the phrase – “There’s no atheist in foxholes.” Being personally related with God beats getting assistance from Superman or the whole Justice League. When life hits me hard I ask for help from a Higher Power – I call ‘My Father’. Too bad for all of you atheist out there. You’ve got NOBODY.

That dialog is hilarious.

I should read that comic sometime soon. Thanks for sharing.

Zauriel: It’s true, I swear it…
Nun: BLASPHEMER.. angels don’t swear
Zauriel: ?! who told you that?
Nun: It is WRITTEN!
Zauriel: Written where?!

An angel getting shouted at for blasphemy. Sounds to me like Zauriel’s heading for the way of Lucifer.

What comic/story line did that happen btw?
