In your opinion what causes christians to believe in Jesus
RE: In your opinion what causes christians to believe in Jesus
Quote:So you've probably heard of the criticism that Sesame Street, while intended to help children learn to read, actually damaged their ability. The producer's plan was to make it fun to learn reading by making the letters dance and sing and tell jokes. But of course actual reading requires a kind of sustained attention to letters that DON'T dance or sing, so kids raised on Sesame Street found it too boring to read a page of text. 

The evidence of that is scant at best and contracted  directly at worst by evidence

Quote:Then there are the criticisms that superhero movies have a fascist message hidden behind the charm of the hero's personalities. (Only the ubermensch can save us.) Or of course the constant message in US media that the hero is the person who makes the most effective use of violence. This teaches us something
That's not remotely the message of superhero movies at all you just don't get the genre 

Nowhere does the movie remotely teach us that only the powerful can save us. In fact, it teaches the opposite throughout the whole MCU and DC and most definitely the comics we that superheroes are flawed and foilable beings who have many of the weaknesses we have. What makes them heroes is not them having powers or just being better than us. What makes them heroes is what makes them like us. Steve Rogers was a good person before the super-solider serum. Tony Stark was an amoral womanizing  prick till he got a taste of  humility and sought to redeem himself. As for your nonesense about violence, no heroes are heroes because restrain on using violence. There are countless instances where they could have just killed the villain and made things easier or committed, regardless of cost. They didn't though, and they often give the villain more than enough chances to give up, so this statement is simply false.
