Why does DC act a few titshots away from a chic book?
What?

Do you know what a chick tract even is?

DC's cosmology and afterlife are super Catholic, though, which Chick would have hated. You can thank Neil Gaiman for that, mostly, which is funny because I think Gaiman's an atheist.

I thought he didnt make it that, but went with narritaves already in use?

Well you said "chic book", which would lead absolutely no one to think you're talking about a "Chick Tract"
You realize "chic" means new and stylish right?

The Spectre is rarely like a Chick character outside of his worst appearances, he actually has nuance, so it's not like that would make me think Jack Chick, nor do Chick stories tend to actually include God himself nor his agents, so that didn't connect the dots.
Fuck you mate.

But anon, the Spectre is already dressed in pretty damn stylin' threads.

I think it's more that Catholicism, and Catholic-oriented works like the Divine Comedy, just lend themselves really well to further fiction and worldbuilding.
But anon, they're already there.

Gaiman says that he is 50/50 sure of the existence of god. So pure agnostic.

I thought the whole point of "Darkseid is" was just affirming his existence. Like, the fact that he exists is truth enough in the world, for the people who give themselves to him.

"I AM" and its derivatives is a phrase often found in the Bible and other Judeo-Christian writings and is used to denote the absolute all-encompasing nature of God. Kirby cribbed a lot of Biblical imagery from the New Gods and "Darkseid is" is basically Darkseid sliding himself into the role of YHWH in a sort of dark perversion of Judeo-Christian tradition.
