Default back to this thread's OP

The Roman Catholic sect's Jesus (at least) was a FEMALE = no human Father ("He" was conceived in & born of a never impregnated human virgin. The Creed says so.), hence no human male Y chromosome.

In fact everything we know (if we accept that "he' ever existed at-all) about what the Person said and did/didn't do points towards 'his' having so=called "feminine" values and um, goals.

To be sure, my assertion profoundly weakens "Christianity's" arguments : NOBODY cares what women think and say.

I don't know. I saw the most disturbing thing on the road the other day.

A bumper sticker that read "Real men get on thier knees for Jesus."

Is that creepy, or what?

Cheers,
Lane

You can use yahoo personals to cunduct a sort of survey (or rather, datamine yahoo's survey)

First, do a search, and specify only location, sex and distance, and fine tune the distance to report less than yahoo's max (of 1000 matches, I think). Record the number (probably 900 and something). Then change the search criteria by specifying religion. Record the new (smaller) number. That will give you a proportion.

Repeat that process again, fine tuning the distance again, but change from searching for women to searching for men.

Last time I tried it, atheist men outnumber atheist women by almost 2 to 1. I didn't try counting Christians.

Any thoughts?
I know a lot of women who have a lot of trouble with that, too.

But yeah, that's an interesting point. It amuses me no end to watch people who condemn any hint of possibly not being straight in others, because it's "compromising with sin" and "justifying sin", who then turn around and say "well, yeah, I beat the crap out of that guy, but he was asking for it."
