HA!
Wanna go play some games or something?
Or he was some high level super red mage, and cast Life 3 and just got revived after he died. Used float to walk over water.
On another note, I think you should hunt down the Hyperion novel series, JooJoo. Its sweet, and has alot to do with religion! After the end of the series, you're overall reaction will be "woah". Great sci fi, with lots of guns and space ships and a crazy alien cyborg that sexors you on sight, but it turns out its your best friends daughter that came back from the future, so its okay, and stuff.
And the best part of the book... The Shrike. This robot/man/beast is unbeatable by ANY PERSON YOU COULD POSSIBLY THINK OF FROM ANY COMIC/NOVEL/TV SHOW.
The Shrike has 4 arms, made of some super space age alloy thats virtually INDESTRUCTABLE. Oh, and this alloy has been cut into thorns, his whole body is like a mass of indestructable razorwire.
The shrike can bend time and space, travel at INSANE speeds, expand his jaws so it can swallow your head whole. The speed, defense and offense of this machine is unmatchable.
And nobody say Magneto. The shrike knows EVERYTHING. He'll just appear from NOWHERE and disembowel him before he could process a single thought.
I just realised that my post is too long, and far off topic. Ill stfu now.

No problem.
I wouldn't know first hand though. Because I'm Jewish, and according to the sources I trust, Jesus was also Jewish. And many Christian religions assert that Jesus wasn't Jewish because he was the son of God so he must have been Christian. Therefore, if Jesus was a Christian Scientist who turned water to wine and healed lepers with a touch, I really wouldn't know where he got his powers from, but he should've kept quiet about them so we wouldn't have so many Christian Scientists letting their children die.

Ford Prefect had this to say about Tron:
I'd actually be more prone to apply this theory of yours to Egyptian, Greek, and Roman deities. The difficulty with applying that theory to Jesus is that people actually saw Jesus on a regular basis, giving sermons. And my Catholic friends never mentioned anything about turning water to wine or the like. Supposedly he was just like any other person in life.I wouldn't know first hand though.

Given that prior to Jesus's life there were no Christians (the sect plain didn't exist), along with other concepts (the fact he was treated as a judge, etc), popular belief these days is that Jesus was in fact a Jewish rabbi. Furthermore, the anglicized skinny white dude with a beard we're all used to seeing is probably a false image too (albeit he likely wasn't a black dude, as "Dogma" hypothesizes). Chances are he was of Jewish or Middle-Eastern racial background.
What people plain don't want to accept is that 95% of what we consider to be Christian (that is to say "pertaining to Christ/Jesus") fact was invented sometime in the dark/middle ages. For years, Christianity was wary about denouncing Judaism...it's sort of like denouncing your parents.
That's why, in fact, things went down in Spain during the 1400's like they did. Ferdinand and Isabella were pushing the Moors out, then your high school history book tells you that they turned on the Jews. In fact, it was more like "We're going to give you two choices: 1. you convert to Christianity, we'll keep an eye on you, and you can stay... or 2. You can keep your faith, leave all your financial means behind, and go." There was very little actual murder of Jews (Inquisition not withstanding...those guys were rather intense) because official Church policy was fuzzy, and the Church was still dealing with the whole "Pope of France/Pope of Rome" thing from the late 1300's. It couldn't handle a severe conflict of religion. [ 11-26-2002: Message edited by: Ja'Deth Issar Ka'bael ]

Dr. Strange would school this Shrike Joker
Yeah, if he holds STILL. Dr. Strange would need at least a good half second to focus his thoughts, too fucking bad he'll be dead before one more little electron reaches his cornea (esentially saying the shrike will move faster than light, and decapatate the fucker)
But dont get me wrong, the Shrike isnt TOTALLY indestructable. In the third book there was a war between HUNDREDS of them, and THOUSANDS of creatures known as "ousters" who had these shift suits that pretty much mimic the shrike's powers, but they arent as durable as the shrike's armor. Ousters won, in the end.

Flash would kick the Shrike's ass. Silver Surfer (hell any of the cosmic Marvel or DC character) could spank the Shrike.

Dr. Strange has more magical artifacts than anyone else so I would assume he could dominate them.
