Was Ultron an Atheist?

[evangelist6589]

Avengers Age of Ultron. I have evidence and can list at least three reasons that Ultron was not an atheist and a hint, none of them come from his quoting of Mt 16:18. Please note I figured this one out without reading any blogs, or other websites, or newspaper articles on the film. I usually avoid reviews anyways. This question you will only be able to figure out if you actually watched the film.

I haven't seen it yet, but I plan on it. I like the Avengers.

I guess my only comment to you since I haven't got a chance to watch it yet, is I guess you DO find some redeeming value in fictional stories after all.

I got the impression that you didn't like fiction. I like it very much along with lots of other genres.

I'm not sure why this is in the topic of Bible Study as Ultron is a fictional comic book character....but....OK...I'll play....initially (with Pym and, in the movie, Stark) Ultron held somewhat to his creator as god, but he rebelled against that god (still....not with a clean break). This comes out a bit more in the comics but it's very apparent in the movie. As the character progresses he becomes his own god and strives to create in his own image.

It's good. James Spader does a great job as Ultron (even though I thought of "Reddington" throughout the movie).

Oh, I didn't know it was going to be James Spader. I like him.

Ultron is not anything but a figment of someone's imagination. Why are we in Baptist Theology and Bible Study talking about a fictional movie and the state of someone's beliefs who doesn't even exist??

I thought that the Theology Section was for theological topics. Sad that things have come to this state.

Wasn't Bugs Bunny Jewish?

I agree, at a minimum this thread should at least be moved to the General Baptist Discussions section, thats where the bigfoot thread is. :laugh:

I haven't seen the movie. Is Ultron dead? If not, why is the thread title framed in the past tense?

Whenever the universe settles, God throws a stone at it.

The best way to rid the world of sin? Ask Noah.

You only love fiction that you approve. You've blatantly accused others on this board of opening the door to satanic activity because of the fiction they like.

Bingo bingo!!!! He affirmed there is a God and affirmed Noah was a true person.

That doesn't prove Ultron wasn't an atheist; merely that he had accessed the Bible and could use it as reference. If anything, it showed that he considered himself God.

Consider the premise: the point was to show how evil Ultron was, and they did so by making religious references. Kinda tells you what the writer(s) think of God and religion, doesn't it?

My thinking that the similarity to the Devil was not too far off then?

Unfortunately I don't know that our churches as a whole, in general, are not too far from "comic book theology." :tear:

Haven't seen it - but Marvel comics generally follows Norse mythological themes, shown most clearly by the superhero Thor and his adversaries.

They also follow Greek mythology; one of their superheroes, who was also an Avenger for a while, is Hercules.

DC tends towards the Egyptian and middle eastern mythologies.
