Jesus and Mary, In Catholicism and Islam

[Ahriman]

I do not believe God has parents. In my opinion, the Islamic conception of Mary seems closer to the truth.

And why do you think the pope doesn't see Jesus and Mary the way you do?

I wouldn't know, I've never asked him.

Jesus and Mary (Jesus' mom) play a prominent role in both Catholic and Islamic theology. Mary is mentioned 34 times in the Koran. Both religions revere Jesus as a miracle worker, and Mary as a holy woman. Catholics, in particular, claim Mary as the Mother of God, a distinction I was taught of back in Catholic school, but have since rejected. I do not believe God has parents. In my opinion, the Islamic conception of Mary seems closer to the truth.

If Jesus didn't have a mother... Where'd he gestate? In a box?

The differance between the beliefs of old Moe and the people he cribbed from is that Moe had to 'Down play' the claims of the Christian's he was borrowing his ideas from.

Can't have the all powerful prophet playing a back seat to an incarnated diety now, can we?

Still, have fun wokring out which magic book is the better of the... myriad magic books.



Not at work.

Not even sure what you're trying to say.
