remember just because night crawler has god in his life and you dont like it cause you don't believe, dosen't mean they can't put it in. you have to remember there are people besides atheists that read comics. so tell me what's the difference between marvle having night crawler a priest, and you saying that they sould not have it like that. are you in the same way doing what you think they are trying on you? what's the difference. night crawler is very cool cause he at lest knows what he wants to do with his life.... remember they don't all believe in the samething cause it gives every one a different personality and a different reasons for doing things. thanks for reading and think about it. God bless....

religions got nothing to do with it. people can say they are christian and think they are above all. those people have religion, and if they force it on you it wrong. most people see christianity as something bad from a bad experience. some if not alot of people who don't believe have had a bad experiance with some one who was not a good example of a christian. now the truth is that i got faith not religion, night crawler did what he believed he should do. it's not forcing it on any one. and if you think it's being forced on you, maybe you need to lighten up and try to find something you can believe in. don't look at christanity in a way you don't realy know to much about but you own personal experiences with people who have religion but not faith. it's hard to have faith, it is. night crawler chose the harder path, a path of being ridiculed and made fun of and questioned and tested and put down. well put that on top of being a mutant and being apart of the excalibers that is a lot.

I always found night crawlers religion to be more of an afterthought than a foundation for his character. Throughout alot of the original run of X-men he only mentioned religion a few times, and I certainly didn't seem him praying. When he later moved to the team Excalibur his religion was also not focused on. It wasn't until later that he became a priest and his religion was focused on. Being an atheist myself, I find most comic books super heroes are predominantly Christians even if they don't talk about it much. A comic book that reflects my views on religion more is quite refreshing.

As the X-Men universe expands, the underlying reason for their mutations, are the genetic anomolies that surface through genetic evolution. to say something is evolving does not mean that it is anti religios or anti god. to evolve is to change over time. christians themselves evolve in their faith, if not they grow stagnent, biblically speaking. now for one character in a storyline that has changed, to be depicted as the front runner for the story line as a whole, is short sighted, only in the fact that this is fiction, and in fiction, there are any number of combonations of character traits and viewpoints. and just because nightcrawler is no longer a devote priest, once again does not make the new x-men anti religion. if nightcrawler denounces the faith directly in the story line, i will retract my statement, otherwise it was just another way to change the story for a new generation, a generation that is so overloaded with pseudo-information, it is hard to cleanly choose sides this da

don't you think that religion has a big enough platform already? there are a group of people (including myself) who do not believe in religion. they are called atheists. do not those people deserve to be heard as well? religion is not for everyone, and being fair and balanced also means allowing others to express their views, including anti religious ones.
