Huh.....I spent so much of my life concentrated on the fact that Mary was a lying slut who absolutely had sex with someone. Thus making Jesus not only NOT God's child, but also by definition a bastard.....that I never thought about the story from the perspective of it being true. If you take the story at face value, and God impregnated Mary in her sleep? That makes God a rapist who didn't get consent.
Yep. Pretty fucked no matter which way you look at it...
Has anyone informed you of Sithrak the Blind Gibberer?
All hail the God Who Hates You Unconditionally 👌
I find this religion refreshingly honest and egalitarian. I might convert.
If the only piece of advice on how to live you get from a religion is "Stay alive as long as you can!" That's still better than a lot of the rest of them.
Oglaf is a fucking treasure
Actually an angel appeared and told Mary she was chosen. She said "aight bet." So, technically consent.
Your boss shows up and says, “you’ve been chosen”. Say no and you’re fired…
Jesus was a bastard who was BFFs with a prozzie, did violence against the wealthy, and spurned authority. God might not listen to Slayer, but I reckon Jesus would have
Right? Jesus was a real one. Christianity should be metal AF.
In school I tried to bring up this theory that the three wise men all thought they were the father and came bearing gifts for that reason and mary was either lying or totally clueless/tricked. It wasn't well received but nobody was able to refute it with relevant bile quotes or anything.
Unclear if typo, or powerful statement.
A little from column A, a little from column B? ;-)
bile is an important part of your body's functions, don't compare it to the silly storybook
Mary was not virgin until they changed the story later around A.D. 300, during the Romain Catholic Church.
Oh. Damn. I only heard the story AFTER 300AD. I was late to the game, I guess.
You have a source to read that up? At least in 452, they (some) were already pretty sure about her being virgin.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_of_Chalcedon
Edit: the bible was written ca. 300 after christ tho. Probably because of this.
452 is after 300 so that would be consistent with OP, however, here's a "source" such as it is claiming her virginity in 150 AD https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gospel_of_James
OP might be confusing the adipartheos of Mary - the belief that she was a virgin before, during and after the birth of Christ. Some even go as so far as to imply Jesus wasn't born like a human and emerged in some other way, which I'll leave to the readers imagination.
Jesus is still a bastard too.
Yeah I never heard of God getting married.
If we take the story at face value, he did get consent.
Man.....dirty talk sure was different back then.
Behold! My loins are awaiting thyself!
No way, Religion is all a sham? MIND=BLOWN
