No, that’s, different, you see!
She wasn’t a surrogate, she was just raped by a ghost who’s also her son, which is of course totally fine and wholesome!
Well if we assume God is female, then Jesus’ mom would’ve been a surrogate, technically, I think.
Depends whether the holy ghost has a penis that ejaculates, really.
…is not something I ever thought I’d write 😆
I mean they might, but if they also have egg cells…
Surrogacy is when a uterus grows a kid that wasn’t by their own egg.
Technically, that’s called gestational surrogacy. Traditional surrogacy uses the surrogate’s egg and the intended father’s (or donor’s) sperm.
Huh. True enough. Point well made.
She wasn’t a surrogate, she was just raped by a ghost
The mythology of Christianity notwithstanding, people really get hung up on the alleged circumstances of his birth while paying precious little attention to the sermons and practices he engaged in during his life.
Would that everyone believed the Loaves and Fishes story as influential as the How Mary Got Preggers tale.
Well personally I’m aware that literally none of it happened, so might as well have some fun about the most insane parts rather than a simple dupe hack 😉
To be fair there was a census. It just happened much earlier and had no requirement to travel to your ancestor’s home.
I love it when a world religion is based on misunderstanding government regulations 😄
Well personally I’m aware that literally none of it happened
Abundant evidence of Messiah figures running around the Levant during the reign of Emperor Tiberius. Whether “Jesus” was one guy or a composite, you’re stretching skepticism to assert the Sermon on the Mount as an event that didn’t happened.
There is evidence of New York existing and there is evidence of spiders existing. Does that mean I am stretching my skepticism when I say I am convinced that Spiderman does not exist?
Fun fact if you pray to spiderman your wishes will be answered at the same rate as if you pray to Jesus.
I can go to Times Square right now and find half a dozen guys dressed in Spiderman costumes running around. And I can produce a litany of live action video that is significantly more convincing than any artifacts you could produce to prove the existence of Caeser Augustus or Abraham Lincoln or Winston Churchill. Hell, I can even get you video of a guy in a Spiderman costume who is climbing a high rise in Los Angeles right here
If a video of a guy climbing a building in a Spiderman costume was paired with a handful of comic books, and this was discovered in a sealed vault in the year 4024 AD, what kind of conversation would we be having?
She wasn’t raped; see Luke 1:38.
Why would Mary care what the Pope has to say? She’s Jewish.
Why do we care what the leader of a pedophile death cult thinks?
In the US, Evangelical Christian’s did not give a shit about abortion until about the 70s, when they realized they could form a coalition with Catholics to gain political power on that wedge issue. Lots of people care about what the Pope thinks, so unfortunately the rest of us have to somewhat too.
Because this particular death cult has billions of members.
