I enjoyed it. Definite Christian imagery. There were inferences in the first one, too..."The Lord's Prayer", e.g.

No there is not "Christian" imagery, the concept of forgiveness was not first put forward by "Christians", the golden rule was spoken into existence long before Christians were around.

And I echo the sentiment that it was a lousy movie. I am going to go as far as saying it was total junk.

Curious why you equated forgiveness with the golden rule, but oh well.

Christian Imagery:
The main part of the Venom plotline took place in a church (and church bells)
Brock prays (I believe it was before a crucifix)
The whole scene has a 'baptismic' feel to it

What are "Christian" morals?

I'm sorry, but nowhere did I see or hear a reference to Jesus Christ as the Son of God, or that one needs to accept Him as their Savior.

That is true, however, there are movies that espouse Christian virtues without having to be evangelical...kinda like the parables Jesus told.

There were a lot of spiritual parallels in this movie. Especially the guy who leaves the black slime and goes back to it because he could not give it up. So true of addictions today.

I believe you answered your question within the quote.

Wow, I can't believe someone would call this move "total junk."
I definitely wouldn't classify it as junk. Was it as good as the first two Spiderman movies? No. But I would hardly call it junk. Movies like Saw, Hostel, you know torture porn flicks- now that's what I would call junk....

Refresh my memory...who in this post said that only Christians practice forgiveness? Nobody? That would be correct.

Yeah! ...First, this movie rocked. Second, I saw the same good morals emphasized throughout the story (I was thinking the same things when I saw movie). It does not have to reference the Bible to have good morals that are Christ and Christian-like.

We have to realize that the creator was probably not a Christian and Spidey is also not Christian. But, nevertheless, the story and characters displayed a lot of admirable qualities and it's a great basis for discussion amongst Christian or non-Christian peers about the values and message of the story.

Things like forgiveness, revenge, and anger are all themes of the movie.

No, but it was implied that they were only Christian morals.

actually i think this was inferred...



of course, one could really find "christian" images or themes in pretty much any movie -- that imagery is still part of our culture and visual heritage. the bible pictures man's sin and depravity as much as it presents G-d's holiness, mercy and judgement. that doesn't mean all movies are equally good or "moral" or "christian". then again, i have no idea what a "christian" movie is (movies can't repent and surrender to christ).

The one scene **SPOILER** which has stayed with me is when Peter starts to rip off the black slime. It reminds me of sin and how bad I want to "rip" it off of me.
