Despite what "Christians" say the bibles feats are no greater than anything in Norse mythology ie... What odins done.

Once the heavens and earth were created.... Which suppsedly Odin/ or Zeus have done

No.

God, according to the bible = Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Omniscient in every possible way, shape or form, knew everything that was going to happen and that would, etc.

Odin/Zeus/etc. - Have physical forms, can't do everything, are often challenged in power (Zeus had to fight a war in order to defeat Kronos), do not know all (the Greeks gods were apparently subject to the power of the Fates), etc.

Yeah and in Norse Mythology the Gods weren't even Immortal, they just lived really long because they ate the Golden Apples.

Odin an Zeus are not locked in a single form.. they could do their big head omniscient thing. to get their point across. 😗

God created the universe, so He would, or rather can/could, therefor actually exist outside of it. Like a guy with a snow globe or something.

Anyway, why is a comic forum drifting onto theology? It'll just be more of the same with fanboys versus haters, with the actual debaters and people with real knowledge kinda caught in the middle and it's all awkward and sh*t.

Remember the rules of gentlemanly conduct. In public, never discuss politics or religion.

odin or zeus or thor would pass all

the living tribunal would every crap their pants and not question him..

he is aloft and has three faces kinda like the trinity aspect of religion.

the ppl would simply assume that, that is what the trinity meant.

If they knew their job was to pretend to be God then I think they could all do it. Superman would probably need to get a little creative but he could manage it.

The Star Wars one is tricky because they would have to introduce Christianity first. That one may actually be easier because it's not deeply rooted.

The gullible might believe. He just needs to "walk" on water, feed 5000 with two pieces of fish, by using his super speed and getting more fish without people noticing, create fire from nothing etc.

He could claim to be God in physical form and write off any lack of abilities as too great for the mortal world or something like that. He could mimic many disasters and make some weird effects with is powers.

I think a sure fire way to make people think you're God as Superman is to start burning things from space with invisible eye beams. To increase the effect, you could burn places known for sin and places where Christianity isn't the biggest religion.

i highly doubt that would be within clark's CIS. 😐

True, he is kind of a stiff.

unless supes is brain washed, i dont see him causing catastrophes and tormenting the locals just to convince them he is god by swooping in and stopping said disasters.

if anyhthing only a major prick entity would do such a thing and subscribe to such a method 😗

I can't imagine Superman hiding in some HV lit bushes and stomping the ground screaming "I am the Lord!".

i can see thanos and DS doing it but not supes. they would subscribe to the old testament style of God's method

1. Sayng he's all powerful and his actual feats are two different things...
He loves all but is a jealous and petty god. Who unleashes plagues, death... And tells people not to worship any other god... That's how petty he is...

Your right Zeus isn't like that at all. He doesn't néed to beat on worshoppers to get them to love him

Obviously LT would fit it perfectly. like someone said the three faces would make people assume it was the representation of the the Trinity.

OK, so a bunch of characters want to appear in front of humans (in our universe) and pretend to be the Christian God. Which one of them can succeed in being close enough to omnipotent/omnipresent/omniscient so that people would believe that he/she/it is God? For the sake of this thread, we'll assume that for some reason humans won't have any former knowledge of these characters (ie they won't recognize that Odin is well...Odin, and the god of Norse mythology).

1. medieval Europe
2. modern America
3. Star Wars

(in no particular order)

Galactus
Odin
Superman
A celestial
Utah
Darkseid
Eternity
Thanos
Thanos w/IG
LT
Post Retcon Beyonder

right, but for this scenario you don't have to be totally omnipotent, just enough so that you can fool mortals

If you look who's already done it in the past and even today everyone from that list CAN do it, maybe CIS is in their way but the potential is there

Sounds like a nerve being struck.
