And now that I realize this, I'm shocked at how blind most everyone is to this. So basically, at Christmas, everyone--EVERYONE--is celebrating the rape of an underage girl. <br /><br />Think about it: Most pastors will tell you Jesus DECIDED to sacrifice his life and die on the cross and that any point he could've said, "Sorry, but I'm done here." Yet no one ever talks about Mary's decision to bear Jesus. Why? God decided, the Spirit impregnated her and Angel said, "Hey Mary, by the way..." <br /><br />The more distance I get from Christianity, the crazier it becomes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555298467456245376.post-53970488940125898442012-10-26T21:04:43.239-05:002012-10-26T21:04:43.239-05:00Notice how #1, #2, and #3 all make the birth essen...Notice how #1, #2, and #3 all make the birth essentially a punishment for something. This isn't really about protecting fetuses or mistaking them for full-fledged humans. It's about punishing and regulating female behavior.<br /><br />As for God and Mary, it never occurred to me before, but yeah, that's one heck of a power imbalance.Infidel753https://www.blogger.com/profile/10965786814334886696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555298467456245376.post-45264035129151725442012-10-26T19:36:17.062-05:002012-10-26T19:36:17.062-05:00I thought #2 had some magic or something involved....I thought #2 had some magic or something involved.
