Any thoughts?

The story is a metaphor. Mary represents Samaria, a virgin which had never produced a prophet for the Jews. Joseph represents the Jews. Jews was the character that was supposed to unite the Jews and Samaritans as foretold in the Old Testament. He was supposed to be a reformer.

Gullibility would be an understated word here.


That explains the ancient twits' beliefs but what explains the current dummies' beliefs? For all intents and purposes the current dummies might as well be waltzing around the Middle East deserts of 2,000 years ago.

Indeed she may never have existed but then again she may have. There's no proof either way. Its probable that some of these people must have existed, or why such a massive following? Christianity didnt start from nothing. What really pisses me off is that we are expected to believe that mary was made pregnant by god

It was an immaculate contraption.

"The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions" - Leonardo da Vinci

"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)

if she did exist, she have to had sex with a guy. if she wasn't impregnant and gave birth, then it had to be that she is one of those human exception that can give birth asexually. There are some female lizards that can birth asexually.

I don't care about real people or real places being in ANY holy book, not just the bible, but any book of myth. You can go to a Superman movie and see him fly around the real city of New York, but you know humans don't fly like that.

There is no such thing as virgin births. There are no such things as zombie gods surviving death. The only thing about the bible that can be proven is that people made up some really magical fantastic claims and put them in a book.

This.

And who that actually was she evidently did not feel proud to admit.

So it would seem Jesus was a bastard with a fairly disreputable biological father.

It wasn't a dugong, I'm pretty sure it wasn't.
Sure tiger penis is good but tiger shark is much better, look at the shape of them, so sleek and phallic. EAT MORE TIGER SHARK [hypnotic smiley goes here when I find one]
