If we think of Jesus Christ as Superman, we are still presented with a problem. We do not know if the book of Matthew, Mark, Luke or John is the Siegel & Schuster origin story.
We have to take it on faith that the essence of the story remains the same whether it is told by Binder & Boring, Weissinger & Swan, Byrne, Wolfman & Ordway or Johns & Lee.
A while back a friend and I were discussing "transparency" and hit upon something I called entitled observers. Entitled Observers are people who essentially go looking for stuff, ideas, topics in real life and online so that they can pass judgement or give their opinions where they have little or no vested interest. The extreme Entitled Observers end up being moralists, bigots and reactionaries. More subtle Entitled Observers are the nosy busy bodies who have to be "in" on all the cool stuff, secrets and/or gossip. The problem is that many of these people do not realize is that not everyone values their opinions as highly as they do nor should people be expected to change their behaviors just because others are uncomfortable or misunderstanding what they are doing. Live and Let Live, I say.

The god Mercury, having offended both Hera and Zeus, is banished to Earth. He assumes the identity of Barry Allen, police forensics investigator and fights crime as.... The Flash! (Coming when monkeys fly out my butt.)
I would like to offer my services to the Minnesota Twins bullpen. I can throw pitches that result in hitters making in-play contact AND I am cheaper than any bullpen pitcher you have. I will take the abuse for losing games which we should have won for league minimum.
I figure using me this season should save you enough money to sign a backup catcher who can call a ballgame half as good as the one with "bilateral leg weakness."
Think about it, because this season is over. Harmon Killebrew must be spinning in his grave as this season begins to resemble the Twins' seasons from 1973 to 1981. C'mon Cuddy, hit a touchdown!
Well.... it looks like "Christians" have to go back to turning the other cheek and loving thy neighbor as thyself. What a bummer for all the moral bullies.
