The Christian allegory was always present in the Superman story.

Yep. Ever notice Kal-el. Jes-us? Consonant, vowel, consonant, vowel, repeat 2nd consonant, 5 letters, 2 syllables.

6.0 Divine Naming

[11] In “the comic books ‘Kal-El’ is Kryptonian for ‘Star Child’ – which ties into the Child of the Christmas Star.”20 This child is Jesus (Matt. 1:25), the divine child from the stars whose other name was “Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us” (Matt. 1:23). Superman miraculously arrived, preordained, on terra firma as a star-child inside a spaceship that physically looked like a Christmas star. When Lois Lane (Margot Kidder) was flying with Superman in S1 she thought of him as “a friend from another star,” just like Jesus being referred to as the “bright and morning star” (Rev. 22:16).

I just saw this tonight, and agree it was total rubbish. They managed to sneak in Islamic AND homosexual propoganda. The premise was that the US collapses due to the government's mismanagement of the war in Iraq AND the Chicken flu. Unreal. Of course, the entire UK is on curfew and the evil conservative dictator is in power.
