Superman and Batman VS God and Jesus (No it's Zod.)

They get so worked up over everything. Funniest thing I've read in a LONG time.

The bit where someone suggested that he "search up scientific evidence for the existence of Bruce wayn and for Jesus, Jesus will win." bugs the piss out of me. Sure, there are more results for Jesus in that Google War but Bruce Wayne and Jesus have the same amount of *facts* going for them, which is zero.

Again, not to split hairs... but you totally can. Jesus is God's son, not God himself. His dad: Almighty God. Him: Mighty god. Big G. Little g. We're not talking about Bruce having a tag team match with him and his Dad.

one, there is a 2000 year time difference.
Two, Jesus healed a soldier sent to capture him after one of the guys that was with jesus cut the guys ear off, Not exactly a vengeful fighter, especially since he just put the guys ear back on.
but since we are on the topic of trolling,
Batman could totally kick the crap out of Stephan hawking and George Carlin.
Well, he might not have a reason to fight hawking, but 1960's batman could fight Carlin for indecency on the airwaves, or maybe for being bald like Lex Luther.
I still think Stan Lee could hold his own against batman or at least Adam West.
EXCELSIOR!
Sad
Didn't batman recently do some historic time travel?

Although you could argue that appearing not to possess such knowledge was part of his trolling "action". I'm specifically mentioning the bit about the Lazarus Pit. By use of the name Lazarus this is a reference to a miracle performed by Jesus, the troll also says that Batman (using said pit) brought himself back to life faster than Jesus did, however when Jesus brought Lazarus back to life that was in fact a much faster process. Also when one of those arguing claims Batman is from Marvel the troll, after explaining that Batman is from DC Comics, says that this guy needs to get his facts straight because he wouldn't say that Jesus is the hero of the Qur'an... that's not actually true, while Jesus isn't THE hero of the Qur'an (nor is Batman THE hero of DC Comics) Jesus is in fact A hero of the Qur'an, virgin birth and all.
So... I'm not opposed to such trolling I just feel that the person trolling should represent the more educated position, even when playing ignorant there really should be hints of reality in the argument. Perhaps I'm just an idealist who believes that trolling is an educational tool, not just entertainment.
1. Aren't they talking about bringing themselves back to life, not other people?
2. The origins of the word Lazarus doesn't mean that Jesus had anything to do with the Lazarus Pit or the Lazarus Effect for that matter.
3. While implying that Jesus wasn't a "hero" of the Qur'an is wrong, he didn't originate there.
Also, I don't think it is trolling. Why wouldn't batman beat a pacifist in a fight?
The only part that I don't agree with is that the powers of God are separate from Jesus. When you talk about Jesus you do have to consider the powers he is imbued with regardless of the source. Separating God's power from Jesus is like separating Bruce from his money and gadgets. If Jesus advocate violence I'm sure he could beat Batman.
Maggie doesn't say that Jesus had anything to do with the Lazarus Pits, read her comment again. She is saying that 'Lazarus' in 'Lazarus Pit' is a nod to the story of Lazarus in the Gospel, where Jesus brings Lazarus back to life four days after he had died. Jesus brings dead guy back to life (Lazarus), pits with regenerative abilities that can raise the dead (Lazarus Pits), very possible nod there by the creator of the Lazarus Pit concept.
May 03 2011 at 11:49 AM Report abuse Permalink -1 rate up rate downI can't reply to your comment Cat Jones so I will do it here. I know exactly what the story of Lazarus is. What I am saying is that it is not some counter-factual claim to not mention it if it never comes up. That it isn't some point against Ronald in the picture. If, like you agree, the Lazarus Pit thing had nothing to do with the story of Lazarus except for the namesake then why mention it? Do we have to recite etymology of every word we use every time we use them? Maggie is criticizing Ronald for not being better informed when the points she brings up, while they might have been neat to mention, don't fit into the conversation and are not needed.

While the trolling was superb, I think the total score needs to be lowered because of an extremely low level of difficulty. Trolling Christians isn't much of a challenge.

Batman could beat up God. He wouldn't even need that much prep-time.
And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron. - Judges 1:19
Obviously God, like many other magical beings (eg. Fairies), is hurt by cold iron. A perfect weakness for Batman to take advantage of.
I know this won't make much of a difference in your mentality but... it's referring to Judah, not God... It would be inmensely retarded to think that the creator of the heavens and the earth would not be able to vanquish chariots of iron.
