I've been rolling this proposition around in my mind about the whole Jesus thing and Christianity. Ok, so if we look at Christianity, it's worshipping a (male) god who raped a 14 year old girl. So you have a god who's a child rapist. That's just disturbing by itself. And don't give me this "God works in mysterious ways." You know what works in mysterious ways? My digestive system. So, I got to thinking about Joe and Mary. So here they are, these two vagabonds, the girl's about to pop, they have no money, no food, and are homeless. At that time, a bunch of whackjobs were running around claiming that they were the messiah, so Joe and Mary thought, "Hey! We'll say that our kid is the messiah!" And this guy, Tom, believed them, so they became famous and received a bounty of gifts. Either that or he received a percentage of the proceeds. And thus the birth of a hugely popular religion that's based on other, older religions, Greek philosophy and mythology, and blind faith. More to come later....(I always thought Jesus had Joe's eyes)
