Well @zawarudio , while he isn’t particularly religious and will participate in Christian celebrations like Christmas, I wouldn’t go as far as to call him Christian. In fact I would go as far as to outright say he’s Jewish
We can start with his constant use of yiddish
Which we can follow up with him participating in the Shavout as well as being shown wearing a Kippa. Which certainly implies more than just a vague familiarity with Judaism
Not to mention that his creator (Stan Lee) was Jewish, and Spiderman is supposed to be the superhero most appliable to Stan Lee himself.
And we can finish with the very direct and definitive answer given by one of Spidermans comic book writers Brian Michael Bendis
It’s so funny to see some of my caps (I underlined that kibitzer myself) in posts with like 40,000 notes in them. I don’t really mind people taking the caps but if people link to the posts next time, I have sources for most of these! General Jewish Peter primer posts:
Also, one thing to note with the Shavuos panel is that he specifically pronounces it Shavuos and not Shavuot, which displays a familiarity with the specifics of the Ashkenazi vs Sephardic/modern Israeli Hebrew pronunciations. (Shavuos is seen, to simplify this A LOT, as the more old fashioned pronunciation.) So it implies a level of understanding far beyond mentioning what is already a holiday one would not expect someone who isn’t Jewish to know.
This is your yearly PSA that homeopathy IS NOT a synonym for home remedy. The homeopathy industry encourages this confusion because of the warm fuzzy feeling people get from home remedies. Homeopathy is a specific pseudoscience based on two primary principals:
1. Against all common sense, positive effects of a medicine get stronger the more you dilute it. Homeopathic remedies have their “active” ingredients diluted so many times that you’re paying big bucks for water and sugar pills. The common homeopath response to this criticism is to ramble a word salad of terms stolen from quantum physics that sound smart if you don’t happen to know what those terms actually mean.
2. Like-cures-like. This is the idea that you can treat an illness by giving a patient an extremely tiny amount (see above) of something that causes similar symptoms. Homeopathic treatments for nausea are typically dilute extracts from very poisonous plants that cause nausea & vomiting on ingestion. Luckily these don’t do anything because of how dilute they are, but it’s really funny to see homeopathy peddlers say that evidence-based medicine is poison, then watch them put Strychnine Tree (“nux vomica”) extract in their pills.
Anyway, double check medicines you’re buying over the counter at the pharmacy to make sure they don’t say “homeopathic” anywhere (sometimes it’s in fine print) because you are literally paying for nothing. And remember that chicken soup for colds is a home remedy, it’s not homeopathy unless you put a drop of the soup in an Olympic sized swimming pool.
Side note: the homeopathy industry likes to mask the identities of famous poisons withuncommon names so you get Arsenic Trioxide being called “Arsenicum Album.”
Other side note: You can often identify homeopathic products quickly if they’ve put the word somewhere obscure by looking at the back of the box. If the ingredient is in a comically low percentage (0.0000001%), the amount is given as a confusing dilution factor like “30X” rather than an amount, or HPU (“homeopathic unit,” probably their attempt to ape actual measures like USP units) it’s a homeopathy medication.
Side side side note: just to confuse you even more, occasionally herbal supplements are listed as homeopathic on the package even when they aren’t because these terms aren’t regulated in most places.
Me, watching straight dudes review Venom 2 saying they didn’t like the movie because there was more focus on Eddie and Venom’s relationship than the actual plot: babes I don’t think this movie was made for you.
