This Is Why Mythology Is Dangerous

Because there are fucking assholes in the world who think it is real.

Quote:Religious leaders scorn Alabama official who compared Roy Moore and his victim to Joseph and Mary

Quote:On Thursday, Alabama’s Republican state auditor Jim Zeigler responded to allegations that former Chief Justice Roy Moore molested a 14-year-old girl by comparing the coupling of then-32-year-old Moore with a teen girl to the union of Mary and Joseph from the Bible.

“Take Joseph and Mary. Mary was a teenager and Joseph was an adult carpenter. They became parents of Jesus,” Zeigler said to The Washington Examiner. “There’s just nothing immoral or illegal here. Maybe just a little bit unusual.”

Hypocritical pigs.

Joseph never fucked Mary, though. How is that in any way comparable? Or relevant to modern society? I doubt that any christian is going to think of Mary as a rape victim, even though Mary didn't exactly consent within the story.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

She had the best po-po on the planet.

Just ask the Holy Ghost.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

So.................. I guess a blow job is out of the question.

Perhaps "joseph" couldn't get it to "resurrect?"

As I recall, the idea of "Immaculate conception" doesn't apply to Jesus, it's Mary they're talking about.

Does anyone ever wonder, if god could make Mary pure and sinless for the purpose of giving birth to Jesus, why can't he just make everyone like that?

all of this is getting worse and worse. A senator on CNN tonight said that women who don't come forward right after they've been assaulted are complicit. Sick.
