Top 10 Ways Superman is Just Like Jesus

“What?”  We hear you say, there is no way the blue flying man with underpants issues is anything like Jesus, the Messiah, the Son of God and the Savior of the World.  We can see why you might think that as at first glance they are very different characters.  Christians believe that Jesus was the Son of God and worship him as part of the holy trinity.  Filmgoers and comic book readers might enjoy reading about Superman and his adventures in the pursuit of ‘Truth, Justice and the

American Way’, they might even admire him but he is not worshiped.

If you go beyond the surface level, however, and look a little deeper you will see that there are a number of striking similarities between the two characters.  Superman may not be God or even a god but he comes pretty darn close.   How close?
