I'm writing this article from the perspective of a pacifist Christian just to let you know. From my perspective anybody engaging in a physical fight draws their power from hate and anger, so my opinion is Venom will win. Venom will win because he is fighting to promote violence and anger and physical domination. This is something Spiderman should never do if feels like being the good guy. There will be a point in the fight when Spiderman will say to himself there is only so much physical energy I can draw to cause harm so what else can I draw on here? The answer will of course be love and understanding because Spiderman is a good guy, but Venom would be having none of that cause he's a bad guy. Venom would be able to go all day long cause where he's operating from can only fulfilled with physical damage. Poor Venom don't have any friends, but he's a good damager cause that's the only way he can completely express himself. When Spiderman finally, because of his good guy nature, is forced to tap his inner world what is there will cause him to promote peace and love. So he will try to reason and talk with Venom, kind of try to see what's up and stuff. Venom though will be in a pure frenzy so that won't do any good. Spiderman then will keep trying to relate to Venom or try humor to make Venom cool off, but no dice. Spiderman will then have to start turning the other cheek cause he's a good guy, and God will probably make Venom tired cause he really loves that Spiderman follows Jesus.

When Spiderman first converted to Jesus he started to really enjoy the purpose in his life so he wanted to start helping others. Through his learning and growth he started to shed his hate and anger and maybe that's how Venom came to be. But Spiderman couldn't shed all his negative behavior and thus Venom continued to exist and when they fight Venom usually wins cause Spiderman really only cares about winning the internal battle. So in my opinion Venom would probably win cause Spiderman wouldn't want to fight as badly. But after awhile Spiderman would be able to open a dialog to find out why Venom freaked out on him all the time. After awhile they would become unlikely friends. While growing together under Jesus in their friendship they would still have occasional fights but they wouldn't hit each other anymore. They would just have building climbing contests to blow steam off ya' know?
