The Christian Post reviews The Avengers and makes an interesting observation about the faith of the rising leader of the group, Captain America:

When Thor shows up and takes Loki, Iron Man goes after him. Cap begins to follow but is urged not to because “these guys are basically gods.” In response, Cap makes a fitting statement for his character and era that I’m amazed Hollywood allowed: “There’s only One God, Ma’am. And I’m pretty sure he doesn’t dress like that.”

The fairly long review goes into great depth on the character of Steve Rogers, noting the value of his morality and integrity, and how it is his strength of character — not of mind or body — that result in his leadership.

Captain America represents an opportunity to connect a younger generation with what made this country so great. His unease with the current state of our nation could help a younger generation open their eyes to the dangers we now face as we lose our moral foundation. Captain America also shows what it will take to put us back on the right path-a people of courage, character and integrity and most importantly… faith.

The review is well worth the read.

Of course, if US Army Captain Steve Rogers were real, Michael Weinstein would probably claim he was evidence of all that is evil in the world, claiming Cap was using the imprimatur of his hero-hood to coerce the world into Christendom and bring about the apocalypse.

In fact, Weinstein is disconnected enough from reality that he might just do that anyway…
