So is Wolverine an atheist?

[Ian Pressman]

Mild-Mannered? The God of Judaism was anything but. That Dude used to condemn you to death at the drop of a hat.

The obvious solution would be to stop dropping hats. The guy obviously had a thing about it.

Just because you're atheist doesn't mean Wolverine is atheist. Wolverine probably doesn't like the same football team as you either OH NOES

I always assumed Wolverine liked hockey.

Wolverine is a fictitious character and therefor can't choose a religion or sports team. He is stuck with what the writers give him. Namely an atheist who hasn't been seen watching football.

Sssshhh!


He might be watching.

I assume if he does exist he probably has better things to do than monitor my internet posting habits. The Dude has a whole universe to look after, how pretentious of human beings to believe he cares about whether your team wins the Super Bowl or whether you get that promotion.

Nah, he's God, he would just find some other reason to kill you. Have your read Levicticus?

The writer (Jason Aaron) made him not an atheist, both on panel and off it. He's not an atheist, its canon. Let it go.

Omniscience and Omnipotence gives one excessive amounts of time to pick up hobbies.

So, the consensus is that because of comments made by Aaron that Logan has found faith or his old religion again. So he's another hypocrital religious person. That's realistic enough. I'm sure Kurt's happy. He's just as blood thirsty as ever but at least he believes in an afterlife... right.

Not comments made by Aaron. It was in the story. Dark Reign Wolverine The List. Some virus who transformed anyone who believed in a form of God into a zombie. Logan was affected.

ERR... lol.

[Sundowhn]

Kurt converted him with a grand piano in Jason Aaron's Wolverine: Weapon X #16.

I'm not sure about that. There is more than one issue where Logan is looking for forgiveness or absolution from Kurt over the years. If he was atheist, what would he care about an almighty power's forgiveness?

[Drax1981]

Maybe he just wants someone to tell him that he isn't such a terrible guy.

Yes but I presume there are more exciting hobbies than watching me or humans in general.

I know Aaron did another issue before Weapon X #16 that addressed Logan's faith and had him attending church or something such, but I can't remember what issue it was. An old lady got shot in it, I think...? Anyway, yeah, I think it had been some time coming, with Logan at least playing with the idea, but never an actual transition, with Logan admitting it to himself?

[cookepuss]

First off, Wolverine's whatever Marvel wants him to be... or not.

Second, he's been sent to hell & was tortured by the devil. It's for sure that he believes in something. Given the number of people he's killed over the years, he knows that he's got a lot to pay for when all is said and done. This much he's said repeatedly. As for whether or not Logan believes in God per se... That's a little less clear. He's a pretty dark and jaded guy. A lot of bad stuff has come his way. I think that he wants to believe, but is afraid to give in fully.

Nightcrawler was probably his moral compass in that sense, keeping that seed of hope alive in him. With Kurt gone, he'd much rather take matters into his own hands instead of hoping the that the cosmic scales will balance. Through X-Force, Logan's distancing himself from the man he aspired to be. He's giving himself the excuse for the animal to take over. I'd have to say that, as of right now, Wolverine's probably at a crossroads. It really doesn't help that the Kurt he's now hanging with is kinda bloodthirsty. Even his moral compass has taken up arms. That says a lot about where Logan is right now.

Overall, although there's nothing wrong with being an atheist, as many of us are good people regardless, I'd probably that Wolverine is straight up nondenominational. He's probably sampled a little bit of everything over the years and has cobbled together a personal belief system that might not fit in one category, but works for him.
