Stupid things religious people say

Why are Christians so concerned about what Jesus did with his penis?

Jesus 'made love': Colombian president irks Christians with steamy claim

During a recent speech, Gustavo Petro claimed that a man like Jesus "could not exist without love" and that he "died surrounded by women who loved him, and there were many."

Petro insisted that Jesus "made love", "perhaps with Mary Magdalene" -- one of his disciples.

Christian doctrine holds that Jesus never married and lived a life of chastity.

Petro's foray into theology has angered the clergy and left Colombia's many Christians scratching their heads.

Bogota Christian Benjamin Gonzalez told AFP that Petro had gone "against the Church and against all churches" and "spoke against a very sacred being, our Lord Jesus Christ."

The Evangelical Confederation of Colombia said Petro's remarks "distort historical, biblical and theological truth" and accused him of showing a "lack of respect."

The country's major Catholic group also urged "respect, non‑interference, and the protection of people in their beliefs."

The Episcopal Conference asked politicians to avoid issuing "theological" statements in public.

The controversy has ignited national debate in a country where religious identity remains strong and statements about Jesus carry significant cultural weight.

The debate continued to rage Friday, with opposition presidential candidate Vicky Davila calling Petro's remarks a "provocation".

I recall reading an argument that the Synoptics never mentioning Jesus being married is evidence that he was married. An unmarried 30-years old Jewish man in that time and place would have been unusual enough to be noteworthy.
