Mary was raped and she had a normally born child. Then the child grew up to become one of the best 'con-artist' in history.
Due to his cons, thousands have died and millions are confused today over the entire thing. We even have holidays based on that rape (x-mas). Wasn't someone asking me if Rape was wrong? I guess NOT in this case..... |

Here it comes
The above comment about Mary being raped and rape being a good thing in this case IMO is much more offensive to believers than what I had said about a dead crazy eyed saint and good humping.
I got shit hammered over a joke I made about a saint who is of little importance to the religion while the above comment rudely attacks Jesus AND the virgin Mary. I`ll be watching from a safe distance as the angry Catholics and their supporters go nuts over this. Btw, I`m not bothered by the Jesus + Mary insults,but I don`t think anything about rape is ever a joke. I`m just curious to see if the same people who jumped all over me will be consistent. <edited to make it clear that I don`t find anything about rape amusing> |

Rape is never funny, or ok, or something to smile about. Even if it was done to a figurehead in a religion you abhor, it still does not take away from the fact that it is a horrible act. And to laugh upon that is very sad. This whole topic makes no sense whatsoever in the first place...it seems only intended to get peoples ire up. Well you got mine, congrats. |

If I may quote from the Sacred Texts of Kibology:
"Rape is never funny, unless it's spelled canola." I think the various insults directed at sacred figures of other religions are a pretty small-minded thing, personally. It always sounds to me like a little kid proudly screaming "fuck" to show that he can. It's not really obscenity; it's just an attempt to show off that one is able to do a thing forbidden by others. Whee. |
