And more moral... they teach you that "With great power comes great responsibility" instead of "you can do anything you like to the world, god said it's fine, and he will magically fix it"

No way. Even as an atheist and non-practising Roman Catholic, I'd pick the bible over an illustrated book on a red and blue spandex clad superhero who can shoot spiderwebs from his wrists.
If you're talking about the choices he has to make, responsibility that comes with power, service over love, etc etc... I don't think you've read the bible enough.
Someone mentioned that the Bible is filled with Fairy tales. Maybe so, but even then, it holds more logic and meaning than Spiderman for godsake. Genetic mutations which give super powers... yet to see that happen... theoretically possible, yes, but done...no!
So, if I get you correctly, the reason Spiderman is more logical and meaningful than the Bible would be that it gives scientific theory to back Spidey's transition to spiderdom? I guess ignorance is bliss. Besides the obvious messiah storyline, the Bible has a lot more heroes than Spiderman ever did. Science still has a lot of explaining to do. And we keep discovering that the things we already know can be turned on their heads. Take Tesla vs. Einstein for example.
I'm saying that while you can draw parallels, you cannot in any certain terms say that the Spiderman comics are more logical and meaningful than the Bible. You're barking up the wrong tree.
I'd say the Bible wins hands down in light of the fact that it accepts than humans are essentially flawed characters. Spiderman's just a bit too idealistic for me.

I believe so. As the Buddha taught "keep the meaning forget the words" and I find more meaning in a Spiderman comic than I do in the bible.

No dork, lol. Though I am interested in the new movie as it represents a personal struggle with good and evil from what I can see and what I have read.

There's a lot more wisdom in "With great power comes great responsibility." than 3/4 of the Bible. Like the parts that tell you to kill people that work on Sunday, it's ok to keep slaves...or sell your daughter into slavery.

I haven't read the Spidey tales, but, considering the bible, the odds are quite good.

They express moral concepts in modern language and situations, and nobody gets killed unless they've really hurt someone else. Yeah, probably.
