Quote:Jesus was born mature, according to many Christians.
Jesus fed the 5000, walked on water, came back from the dead, healed the blind, was born of a virgin and all that sort of stuff according to many christians. Also which christians state jesus was born mature, physically and mentally?
i remember from my days of school singing songs about jesus the part which goes "the little baby jesus no crying he made" but thats the only reference i can remember to any suggestion that jesus was born mentally mature.
Quote:I don't think it's so bad, to be honest. In some cultures, namely... ones with arranged marriages, it is largely accepted. It all depends upon context, all of it.
I cant think of any possible context where somone whos over 40 having sex with a 9 year old isnt sickening, it sickens me a bit more in the context of an arranged marriage.
I know it was more culturally exceptable back then but i dont care in the slightest because i like to think i have better moral values than an arab born over 1500 years ago.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
