    So…Is the first picture saying Sonic is god?

    Not sure if heavily loved by Christian Sonic fans…

    …or extremely blasphemous. Well, no commentary is better than some. We don’t want any religious arguments on a Sonic web site, now would we? …Would we? I really hope that’s not the master plan…

      There are probably MORE DIRECT ways to make sure it devolves into a criticism of religion than posting evangelical Sonic cartoons.
      And I’ll let you know if I think of any.

    You have clearly forgotten to make Jesus a raptor.

    This is Mobius. They were sent Jesus the Velociraptor. He’s a lot like Sonic the Hedgehog. Except Jesus the Velociraptor will only save you if you believe he’s real, and swear to live how he commands you to. And Sonic the Hedgehog will run in and save you even if you don’t know he exists.

      I love the idea that Jesus came to Sonic’s world as a Dinosaur.

      Hey, Aslan was a lion in Narnia, why can’t he be a Dinosaur on Mobius?

    As a kid, I actually drew Sonic running and holding a bible up and it said “read your bible every day” if we had the internet back then I’m pretty sure it would be somewhere on this post lol

    But seriously I did it not because I thought Sonic was God or anything, but because I valued my religion as a child, and I was a huge Sonic fan. I couldn’t help but draw Sonic all the time, and I couldn’t help but mix the two concepts. They in no way relate to each other, but I guess it was just my way of showing appreciation of two things I put a lot of value on.

    If there is anything I can take away from this it’s that I’m glad there are Christian parents who don’t try to block every non-Christian thing from their kids and, well, I guess I’m not the only one that ever did this hahah

      No kidding? I did the same thing!

      I bet the majority of these are just kids doing this and then posting the results on DA because they don’t know any better. Heck, I could see myself doing this if I’d had unlimited internet access as a ten year old.

      I get the sense that the artist is very confused in what they believe.

      I get the sense of that with a lot of the weirder pics. Trust me, they aren’t indicative of Christianity as a whole.

    That one with Tails and Cream was cute… Still, I’m WTF’ing really hard. I’ve been baptized in a christian church (I guess?) but I don’t know sh- cr- *AHEM* much about the religion itself. (Aside from the obvious things, like the holidays you get gifts or chocolate eggs, and stuff.)
    I don’t feel like it’s worth my time. Meh.
    But hey! I’ve made up a God for myself! He has a bit of each god people believe in.
    Yeah, he looks like that God in the paintings, except he always wears hawaiian shirts and shorts, with cool shades and flip-flops! He hangs around the world, you might have seen him…
    He’s pretty cool guy, yes yes.

      I too also believe in The Dude as our one true savior.

      His brother John the Goodman is insane, though. Always follow the rules when bowling with him or he’ll shoot you in the face.

    • Reply

      Why make up a god that is not real. Because just because you make something up doesn’t mean that it will become real. That’s just not how it works. God is good, and He loves you with all of his heart, He gave up His one and only son Jesus, so Jesus would take the fall for every single wrong and bad and evil and cruel thing that we have done, weather it’s something from the past or the present or heck even the future. When Jesus died he took ALL of the blame. Why? Because he loves you. That doesn’t mean you can’t do all the cool and fun stuff you like to do. No, you can still have fun, the Bible tells us that we should seek the kingdom of God first and then everything else will be added to us. But by having this made up god for yourself you are giving the devil what he wants. And that’s no good. But listen if this whole thing your doing is because you think that there’s just too many rules and stuff, then just remember this, the one and ONLY way to salvation is by simply believing in who He is and what He does. That’s all you really need. Nothing else really matters and be being baptized you are being born again and declaring your life to Jesus. So please, I beg you turn yourself back to Jesus, don’t suffer a life of sin. Turn the other way. God just wants what’s best for us all. God bless you.

    Honestly, some of these aren’t bad. I’m not a religious person myself, but – disregarding the fact that Christianity doesn’t seem to have a place in the Sonic world – it’s not unbelievable to imagine that one or two characters might put their faith in a higher power in order to cope with things.
    (e.g. Danbuster’s piece about Shadow kneeling at the cross – which, granted, I might be biased towards since Dan’s a good friend of mine, but still — it’s definitely one of the better overall drawings among the lot)

    Tails being depicted as Baby Jesus however…
    …. actually, giving it more thought, even THAT makes a vague amount of sense, given his constant resurrection in Sonic 2.

      Since Christians have been doing it for thousands of years. I don’t mean to bash religion here, but it really is organized delusion. Every religion once started as a cult. That should tell you something right there.

        Christianity is not some cult or religion. Religion is all about culture, customs and regulations, and a cult is just a group of crazy people. But being a Christian just means knowing who Jesus is and what has and will do, look I know that might sound weird but it’s the truth, ok? Besides what kind of prof do you have?

      “Brainwashing”?! Just because you hate Christians doesn’t mean someone who’s making art is trying to hypnotize people into believing in God.

      No, I mean that the people who made these are parrots. As in, they’ve been raised on this stuff.
      As in, they’ve had this stuff rammed down their throats since the day they were born, until this was all they could think about.
      There’s no other way to get text like the stuff above to stick around for thousands of years.
      I see innocent mash-ups, but that’s the problem. These people have no idea what they’re spreading. Not ‘hypnotizing’. Just dulled and meaningless.

    Can I just point out that there is homophobia in one of the quotes here, and question its place? No disrespect meant to anybody’s religion or customs, but any quote that puts homosexuals next to thieves and drunkards doesn’t belong on here in my book, even if it is from the bible.
    The picture itself is pretty good. Most of the ones here are… couple of MS Paint heroes though 🙂

  • Reply

    Furries ah yes they will be accepted by god’s/Jesus’ hand into the kingdom of heaven.. NOT! I don’t recall he made them into this earth. Some of the art is good but obviously most of them suck and I hate the message on all of them. Sonic is totally not close to Gods/Jesus awesome level. He’s just an anthro hedgehog from a video game series. Why try to compare him to people from the bible with other sonic characters. That’s an insult right there and totally freak up. He looks more like a demon anyways. Werehog form of sonic and shadow the hedgehog along with the black aliens are perfect examples of hellish beast so yes this whole idea of the art is complete trash.. Hmm how should I end this.. BESTIALITY FROM SONIC 06 AH YES THAT’s so HOLLY. >3> (Anyways back to Sonic Jump information as well for new sonic hack games!)

      Why compare Sonic to Jesus? Maybe because they are both character fabricated long ago designed with unrealistic superhuman abilities that defy the laws of physics?

    I love the piece with knuckles and the quote from Jesus Christ.

    Now, I haven’t read the bible, but I would say that I doubt he would address knuckles directly in the holy book. As I said, I haven’t read it so I may be wrong.

    What is the point of this?

    I’m a Christian, and I think that a lot of these are nuts. But what’s the point of showing these except to make other people think that Christians are all nuts? Especially the ones that mix with creepy, non-Christian fetishes like the diaper and the overly muscled Shadow?

    Still, some of these are kind of sweet. I like Shadow and Maria reuniting, and Tails and Cream in a live nativity is also adorable.

    I get the sense that a lot of these were made by little kids. Heck, I remember I did something similar when I was little. ‘Course, I didn’t post it all over DA for people to mock… So, why are we making fun of little kids’ doodles? The creepy man-children I can understand, but why are you mocking genuine kids who are just combining two things they love?

    I think there’s plenty of commentary right here already.

    • Reply

      I’m sorry, I can’t help it:
      Do you figure that most of these ‘artists’ still live with their parents?
      Do you figure that they probably have no in-depth history knowledge to their names?
      They almost definitely have no opinion on politics, on contemporary issues, on other religions.
      Do you figure that they were brought to churches every week by their parents?
      Do you think that these kids really have any solidly formed opinions on their religion? That they have read their holy book cover to cover, analyzed passages, or even know exactly who the author(s) is/are?
      I don’t think they love what they did. I think they do what they know, and there’s a different.
      That’s why this bothers me.
      Sorry.

        Look dude I think that a lot of kids are doing this because they what too and they just want to spread the good news with everyone, they just want everybody to see the love and glory of God and they want to Sonic being close to God as well, heck I would do it to and in joy every moment of it and be proud to show it to the world. Has it ever crossed your mind that maybe they actually want to do it out of there own free will because they enjoy doing it. Look God does exist and Jesus is God’s son and that’s what being a believer in Christ means, ok?

    • Reply

      Actually, I know at least a couple of the artists who made the imagery here read Retro, and I would be fascinated to hear their motivations and why they make this specific type of art–not necessarily in a judgmental way, but in a way to try to understand. What’s going on here is a little more complex than say, Sonic and wrestling or Sonic and other video game franchises, which I see a lot of.

    So in that one picture (you know the one) Shadow’s praying…but he’s super steroid-like muscle man, has HUGE ass junk and the Chao seems to be jacking it behind that bible.

    When you have a bunch of kids that are in very Christian families that go to church every Sunday, you’re going to get kids who incorporate it into their drawings. It’s really weird, yeah, but it’s not surprising.

    I sincerely see no reason to regard this as something stupid, that is if the owners of this post intended to do so.

    there are cartoon characters that have been used as a way to send the christian message.

    please let us not jump into the anti-christian bandwagon and attempt to ridicule the people who did this stuff.

    I would not do something like this because I do understand that the character was not created for evangelistic purposes.

    But hey, it’s their choice, and look, some of them are actually really well done (some, not all).

    And just for the record, I can name a few famous characters who are christian themselves. Spider-Man, Superman and even DareDevil are among them.

    I don’t think it’s really appropriate depicting Sonic characters involved with Christian themes, but these are most likely kids’ drawings or the drawings of plain weirdos. I’m a Christian and even I think these are stupid. But may I ask was the intent of showing these purely to highlight the ‘weirdos’ or is it some desperate attack on Christianity?

    WOW. I myself am a Christian, but I still find this stupid. This is a concept that should never happen!
    Some were nicely drawn, but they didn’t mean much. I’m pretty sure this would never be something to encourage a person in his faith with, much less an evangelical tool (Which it probably wasn’t meant to be).

    Whoever made “God Made Us Special” Either couldn’t afford Photoshop or a decent art program… or is agnostic.
