Simple really:

  1. A talking snake with legs convinced Eve, who was made from a rib, to eat a fruit that made her realize she was naked.
  2. ???
  3. Jesus had to be born of a woman, obviously.

step four: preach about the sins of being wealthy and hold out your hand with a cheesy grin.

profit after this?

Or is there a step five, just waiting to reveal itself, in all it's impossible glory?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

that's the neat part. these marks are so stupid, you just keep your hand out there and they buy you new-model private jets.

If god created the whole universe. Why did he also create the snake in the first place? Was it because he wanted us to have to overcome evil tempations? Or did evil exist before hand, meaning god didn't create everything in the universe?

Either he's omniscient and omnipotent and everything has happened exactly as he intended, proving he's an asshole, or he's not and lied about it, proving he's an asshole.

I've never heard that the snake had legs, what's that from?

Let’s just be honest here,

They kinda gloss over exactly how Mary got preggo.

I’m just wondering, did he pull a Zeus and show up as one variety of animal or another?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 months ago (6 children)

Virgin birth was meant as born without sin. So she did the mortal nasty

Which makes the whole Religious Right trying to paint it as her being magically pregnant all so they can make sex ebil even more hilarious

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I mean.. Jesus DID had brothers and sisters, both from the same mother and some side work Joseph had with another woman.

Sin eventually caught up.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Well don't tell the Catholics that. They believe she's still a virgin.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

Could you imagine being raised in that house?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

yup. the question is.... did he show up like a swan. maybe a horse (poor marry. so unsatisfying,) or maybe something else. (tentacles seem like they could be fun.)

Virgin in this context means unwed.

But good luck convincing a Christian of that ;-)

"The angel came in unto her."

Interpret that as you will.

  1. The angel came through the door and into her abode?

  2. Or the angel CAME into her vagina?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

I've had a lot more fun with Bible stories since I started subbing in "teenage Jewish hoodlums who know how to get shit done" every time "an angel of the Lord* appeared. I mean, why would actual magical angels need blood painted on doors to know which houses to avoid? Hoodlums, however, can use a code like that. Or how about removing the tombstone and telling the Marys " why do you look for the living amongst the dead?" That's a place for a bunch of enthusiastic, anti-empire teenagers if I ever saw one.

He ran out of 9th level spell slots and had to use an 8th level slot to create Jesus.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 months ago (10 children)

The question really starts before that. Yahweh is supposed to be "omnipotent" or "all powerful". So, why was The Christ necessary at all? If Yahweh could shape reality just by saying things and they became real, couldn't he just say "I forgive you" and "Original Sin" would be forgiven?
So either Yahweh isn't all powerful and there is some greater power to which he is subservient; or, Yahweh just wanted to dip his dick in an unwilling woman to create his son/self to torture to death. All hail Yahweh!

Apparently bro has a pretty serious code of conduct and adheres to it to a T

Because it's all made up, and the points don't matter.

Give the guy a break, it was his Hot Girl Summer, he just wanted to experiment.

It's harder to bullshit society about events that happened after they've developed writing.

Because he already ate all of the spare ribs.

It's simple, God was actually Aliens, and Adam was an android while Jesus was a human, so they had to inseminate real woman in his case.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Who was the fake woman they inseminated in the other case?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Wouldn’t that mean we are all descended from androids? And therefore are androids?

I am an atheist, but this doesn't seem like a strong argument to me. The answer seems clear: He wanted Jesus to be partly human due to all that stuff about sharing our sins and so forth. It's nonsense to me, but it appears to make sense to believers.

I'd tap that.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (2 children)

That obviously means that god is a woman, right?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Alanis Moresette actually.

Are you going to hit me with that... fish?

The same reason why Leia Organa remembers her mother despite her dying in Revenge of the Sith - the power of retconning sometimes has its... drawbacks

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I always imagined she "remembered" through her force sensitivity; not unlike Dune's genetic memory concept

While I agree this is funny (and am aware this is a meme community) I'd be careful to not use this as an argument. Nowhere does it say the only way God could've sent Jesus was through a virgin birth.

God finally busts a nut and y'all want to shame him.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (3 children)

It was premarital sex, so he deserves it for breaking the 10 commandments.

Jesus was “created” as deity incarnate (need the flesh to make the flesh) and Adam as a divine being(given free will as a divine creation…until he chose the wrong thing)?
