Detecting design or intent in nature
RE: Detecting design or intent in nature
Holy shit, you spelled Marry wrong man.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Holy shit, you spelled Mary wrong man, she is holy and not merry.
She's not holy either. She's just dead.

I like how "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image" is like 2nd of the 10 commandments, and the Catholics blatantly put statues of Jesus, Mary and crossses all over the freaking place. "It's like, fuck you, God, we're making our own rules!"

That is the privilege of having Christ with us, and she was never alive to be dead. That is the only way she can be 'ever virgin' and also virgin for us.

The graven image is the claim to salvation that is carved in your head and will tear you apart between heaven and earth . . . and sooner or later will crash at the foot of cross and there just oxidize till you die.

Whew! Confused Fall Here goes.

So is this to say that a dead woman came of age, got pregnant, carried a child to full term and birthed it? It is no wonder it was a virgin birth. A sixteen year old dead body. Worship (large)

I guess that zombie thing runs in the family.

The baby never was real, just the infancy was and she is the virgin in it. The early protestants made it real that is when Constantine took over and declared what religion should be all about.

Huh? Jesus was never a person in history. The Gospels just show his persona role-play as the second Adam for Joseph of whom this story is told. And so, for Joseph this infancy was real, and that is the deep structure theme to understand.

Baby Jesus is for children much like those 72 virgins are for Muslim boys.

So God didn't sacrifice himself onto himself so he can forgive the offspring of our long dead ancestor? So much for original sin.

Is catholicism turning into some bizarre kool-aid drinking cult? This is two catholics in a row with nonsensical ideas. (relatively speaking of course)

I tried, but I could not leave this alone.

OK. We have no jesus, Joseph only thought he had a kid from his dead or not live wife. So..., Who was running round preaching and pretending to be jesus? Joseph? Was Joseph hung on the cross or was the cross imaginary too?
