Hey Ep, what's the story on the citrus btw?
lol, shamelessly irrelevant to the op, I know.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

You could take this back to the stories of the old testament as well, but many christians are willing to just write that book off completely.
You mean, other than the fact that she was, according to some traditions, impregnated by a Roman soldier named Panthera. Or, that she had 5 other sons, even though she is referred to by the Roman Catholic Church as a perpetual virgin.
The Christians write off the Old Testament, even though their founder and Savior said, in Matthew 5:17-19, that they'd BETTER follow all of the Law. It just shows that the Christians cherry-pick what they will and won't follow, regardless of what it says is or is not important. This is just more evidence that they don't believe in the whole story any more than I do - it's all pretend.
In my inspirational video collection, I have a video of a Japanese woman being impregnated without rupturing her maidenhead. It was possible two thousand years ago, though I don't know why anyone would want to. (In the case of the video, it was for lots of yen.)
And if Mary had given birth, she would no longer be a virgin. Unless it grew back, in which case she would be a virgin again, not a continuous virgin (unless Christians claim Jesus could walk through walls [probably a claim] and be birthed without breaking a hymen [never heard that claim]).
But there are surgeons who will do that for a woman, for a price.

Nothing also exists. Isn't that fascinating?
You know, Miss Aerzia, I become more and more convinced you are a Discordian every post you make. Hail Eris. Fnord. Here's a quote from the holy book of Eris; The Magnum Opiate of Malcalypse the Younger: Principia Discordia; or, How I Found Goddess and What I Did to Her When I Found Her, 5th ed.
From the introductory matter, last page before the beginning of Principia (the intro pages are not numbered), an interview with Malcalypse the Younger, KSC (Knight of the Sacred Chao, one of the founders of Discordianism; his official title is "Omnibenevolent Polyfather of Virginity in Gold and High Priest of the Para-theoanametamystikhood of Eris Esoteric [POEE]")
Interviewer: Is Eris true?
Mal-2: Everything is true.
I: Even false things?
M-2: Even false things are true.
I: How can that be?
M-2: I don't know, man, I didn't do it.
I: Why do you deal with so many negatives?
M-2: To dissolve them.
I: Will you develop that point?
M-2: No.

We're lucky then, that he can in the Bible. Most holy book of God. Or was that Quran. Whatever.

Matthew 2:23 is horseshit.
Quote:And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.
There is no such "prophecy" in the OT.
Do you know the difference between written and spoken.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

Roger that, another one of those examples where the bible is being metaphoric/speaking spiritually, as opposed to being literal. It's good to have people among us that can so clearly determine exactly which passages are which.
Still missing a step by the way.
