the original undermines its own message: they are lifting it, even if barely and with difficulty, which implies that those characters are within an order of magnitude or so of literal divine power.

Ok as an ex catholic the level of sacreligiosity here is impressive. The cross isn’t the heavy bit, it’s heavy sure, he was tortured to death, but a stranger helped him carry it when he couldn’t carry it alone. The heavy bit was choosing to go be tortured to death for everyone including his killers. It was refusing to use divine power to save himself. The cross? No, a thief, a murderer, and a prophet died on that hill that day, each carried their cross, each died on it.
Protestants are fucking weird.
Protestants are fucking weird.
To be fair, transubstantiation.
Trans what now?
And as a paragon of good I wouldn't think Jesus would be so smug about it
Not to detect from your final point, but I'm quite sure the point of this super dumb religious meme is the symbolic weight of the cross.
It's not protestants, it's wacko us pseudo Christian sects that are anything but (but that seem to be dominant in the religious landscape in the US).
If your god's greatest act is "willingly becoming a murder victim", you might be in a death cult.
Regarding the original panel: Powerscaling is so dumb. Fine, your imaginary character is stronger than mine. Now, what?
Sometimes it's just fun to write fanfic regardless of who you think is stronger. If the characters have strong motivations good stories are bound to unfold.
OK so I have questions about this cartoon. I get Hulk, Mr Incredible and Goku, but why Mighty Mouse?
To appeal to children, which is an important focus of religious propaganda.
Need to get the programming in early to make it stick. Especially developing brains can be put into a completely fictional world and their young brains assume it's reality. The CIA did some fun stuff on this, but religion has hundreds of years of experience with child abuse in all of its forms.
Because mice sin too.
It's like they've never seen an episode before. He was always lifting up crosses and crucifying Jews.
Why would the first three make sense, but not Mighty Mouse?
In turn, could Jesus lift Mjölnir?
Probably. Dude was a prototypical pacifist and would probably use it for carpentry.
Nah, the comics make a point that "worthy" is based on Asgardian morals, not Christian. Pacifists couldn't lift it because Asgardians are expected to be warriors.
Darn, today I learned that Mr. Rogers was ready for war.
Mfer could drive 9 inch nails with 1 hit
Jesus, known for lifting up crosses
That's what they call crossfit
