Fry the onions until the entire Universe behind them becomes transparent, revealing the wallpaper of the laboratory where it is kept as an experimental energy source.

Well, there are still villains like Lex Luthor, Kingpin and Amanda Waller to represent the actually evil part of society. They're just a minority because goofy over-the-top villains in silly costumes are more entertaining for the kids.

This is still an issue for me. I have not been participating because I can't see notifications.

It's almost like people won't publicly criticize the government when the government imprisons and kills people who publicly criticize it and their families.

That's what he said, true. You should pay more attention to what he did. I'm talking about Jesus the character here, because I don't really believe that such a person actually existed. But if he could multiply bread and fishes, then he could multiply swords and arrows. If he could heal the sick, and kill trees with a thought, then he could sicken the healthy. If he could turn water into wine, well, people are 80% water and alcohol is lethal in large doses. If he could take demons out of a person's body, force them into pigs and then make those pigs commit mass suicide, he could have chosen Roman soldiers instead of the pigs. But he didn't.

Yes, he flipped out once, when he saw that people were using a place he considered sacred to turn a quick buck by scamming the faithful. That's understandable. The fact is (as far as I can use the word "fact" for a fictional character) that he could have used his divine powers to make it rain blood on his enemies, both figuratively and literally, like some of the prophets before him had done (e.g. ten plagues of Egypt, siege of Jericho), but didn't. He chose to let himself be killed instead just to set an example. That's hardcore pacifism.

No True Scotsman. Yes, they have been taught Christianity. The problem is that Christianity often contradicts itself and most people choose to pay attention to the selfish parts instead of the hard parts that would actually help them to become better people.
