So if they are already doing it, how is it your fault that they continue to do so??? We were also talking about nukes. The common religious fanatic doesn't have acces to them.

it's not
I actually don't think any country would try to kill you...instead they would try to curry favor with you.

And when you say no?
what advantage would they have in provoking a possible war...against a godlike being they know nothing about?
nations are self-interested entities in preservation...they don't go around looking for fights to waste precious resources on when they aren't directly threatened.

So, you're admitting that using Superman's powers would end in innocent people dying.Thank you.
Yeah that is exactly what I said. Lulz. I said how is religious fanatics killing people your fault? Basically it comes to down to personal accountability, which I am a huge believer in. If you want to place blame for one persons actions on someone else, then yeah, supermans powerset would result in loss of life. I don't see it that way though.

Originally posted by Silent MasterI actually do...and I know most nations have enough issues on their plate to worry about (job creation, healthcare, pensions for their aging populations, defense budgets, etc) that no nation would start a fight against a god if they are not under direct threat. it just isn't in their interest to do so. nations act in self-interest.

See, that's your problem, plenty of nations would see a westerner w/god like powers as a direct threat.
