This is a fucking nuclear take lmao

Damn this may be the funniest shit I ever read. And the funniest thing is, this is actually plausible...

Low quality post but you get a free pass for some quality triggering it provided.

People, how you react is often as important as what you have to say. Throwing a hissy fit pretty much ends your argument. So keep your shit together.

I had the same notion. Yours is twice as developed and classic. I'm disappointed that a MOD called your post low quality. The only problem I see with your post is it's a call for a mob of loving Christians to show up at your doorstep with pitchforks and molotov cocktails. Just don't be Dox-able.

This shit is funny.

Lol I’ve been telling my brainwashed Jesus freak buddy this for years. Seems pretty obvious to me...

There have been multitude of stories and myths about "miraculous birth" throughout history. Check out Miraculous births

For example, in the first monotheistic religion - Zoroastrianism, its prophet - Zoroaster is also claimed to be born to a virgin mother according to some stories.

He aint wrong but holy shit lmao. ????????????????????

There was an episode of Dr House like that where a girl is pregnant but has never slept with her very Christian boyfriend so he tells them that in extremely rare cases a woman can get pregnant by herself. What a bitch.

Christianity is jewish business

It's sad when you think that 2000 years of Human Culture, traditions, customs, wars, art, ....ect.ect came about because some bitch got knocked up, and lied about it.

Mary didn’t exist. Do you believe in Santa still as well?

This is hilarious but well, there are two possibilities: Either she fucked someone else or it was a miracle. If you think it was a miracle then you need more than TRP to help you. BTW it's established that Jesus was a real person that was born 2000 years ago. He might not have had all those powers though.

Tell that to the guy in the suit in the Audi that needs to call a tow truck to fix his flat.

AWALT AF. I mean sure, what's more plausible: young chick gets knocked up? Actual virgin birth?

It is tough to "AMOG" God. Just sayin'.

That said, I did hear a podcast once about game theory and if you took a Jesus (always good), Satan (always selfish) or middle (respond to how the last transaction went) approach, it was the "middles" who won out over time.

When you CAN judge a post by the title. Seriously, who didnt know every word of this post from reading the title. Yawn.

Unhelpful, potentially offending post. Why is this on TRP?

If she had just #MeToo'd them like a proper modern girl we'd have none of these holly wars and priests dicking down young boys.

Here's my sperg/literal reaction to your post.

It's more likely that the intro stories contained in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke (the virgin birth stories--there is no virgin birth in either Mark or John) were addressing allegations of illegitimacy level against Christians due to Jesus's anti-patriarchy stance.

A short analysis: Jesus was a populist and he felt the temple complex (through it's monopoly on the forgiveness of sin) was mercilessly exploiting the Jews. Notice that all 4 canonical Gospels start Jesus' ministry with some form of forgiveness outside of the temple and without priests. Jesus felt that forgiveness was universally obtainable. But there is a problem with that--Judaism of that time was extremely patriarchal. In fact, going back to Jacob/Israel, Israel gave blessing to each of his sons in the form of land and rights. Except, to his son Simeon. Simeon was not to receive land by which he and his children could provide for themselves. Instead, they were to be the priests of their father's God and minister to the others and thereby be provided for their ministries--this included forgiveness of sins. This lineage was then claimed by the priests in the Temple in Jerusalem along with the exclusive right to forgive sins and act as ministers.

So, if Jesus was saying anyone could be forgiven anywhere even without the priests, he was rejecting, at least to some degree, that form of patriarchy. That would have left him open to attack by his contemporaries who would have baited him to claim status through his father (and thereby undermine his own teachings) or otherwise refuse to do so and lose standing and authority as a legitimate Jew and as a member of the Jewish community. If/when he refused to assert his rights as the son of Joseph, he was likely immediately met with accusations of being illegitimate.

The stories in Matthew and Luke were meant to address the teaching of Jesus that the highest lineage is as a child of God and only afterward as the child of the parent and that Godly parent's understand and accept this.
