1. Jesus, Joseph Mary...make it stop

[lagomorph777]

15. Now that's a desperate Hail Mary play

[TheBlackAdder]

38. I thought Mary was unknowingly knocked up by some billion-year-old like dude having power over her.

[Canoe52]

76. Just a re-enactment of the original, nothing to see here, move along .....

[bearsfootball516]

2. This can not be real...

[JDC]

24. My exact thought

[greymattermom]

3. So they deny the virgin birth?

I think that's what this means.

[Kingofalldems]

8. Exactly, this does not compute at all, at least for a Catholic.

Don't know what the Baptists believe about Joseph and Mary.

[ATL Ebony]

21. As far as I know all Christians believe in immaculate conception

Regarding the Virgin Mary, Baptists are definitely taught this doctrine.

[gratuitous]

30. No . . .

The Immaculate Conception is a Catholic doctrine that says Mary was conceived without sexual intercourse (original sin). Jesus' birth is under the doctrine of the Virgin Birth. The Immaculate Conception is almost exclusively Catholic, while the Virgin Birth is an article of faith more generally believed in Christendom, though not all Christians believe in it or think it all that crucial to the Jesus story.

[ATL Ebony]

34. Please name one Christian faction that denys the Virgin Birth -- NEVER heard of one

As a Baptist it's been drilled into me since childhood. Curious to learn about who you're referring to in your statement.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

43. Did you read the response? "Immaculate Conception" and "Virgin Birth" are not the same event.

[Achilleaze]

66. How can you have a virgin birth without an immaculate conception?

[WhiskeyGrinder]

70. Did you read the response? It's all right there.

Immaculate conception = the conception of Mary by her parents, in which they had sex but the taint of original sin was removed so Mary would be a flawless vessel to carry Jesus.

Virgin birth = Mary's pregnancy of Jesus, who was conceived without intercourse.

[Achilleaze]

75. OK I'm going to file that detail away

Same place where I keep records of the debate about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.

[ATL Ebony]

81. Yes, I did but nevermind -- just asked for one Christian faction that you referenced. Thanks anyway

[pnwmom]

77. No, the Immaculate Conception has nothing to do with sexual intercourse or the lack of it.

The Catholic Church's doctrine is that all people are born with Original Sin -- the sin of Adam and Eve, disobeying God -- but Mary was free of it. Mary was the Immaculate Conception.

Jesus, according to the Church, was the result of a Virgin Birth, with no human father.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immaculate_Conception

The Immaculate Conception, according to the teaching of the Catholic Church, is the conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary free from original sin by virtue of the foreseen merits of her son Jesus Christ. The Catholic Church teaches that Mary was conceived by normal biological means in the womb of her mother, Saint Anne, but God acted upon her soul, keeping it "immaculate".

The Immaculate Conception is commonly confused with the Virgin Birth of Jesus. Jesus's birth is covered by the Doctrine of Incarnation, while the Immaculate Conception deals with the conception of Mary, not that of her son.

Original sin - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_sin
Original sin, also called ancestral sin, is the Christian doctrine of humanity's state of sin resulting from the fall of man, stemming from Adam and Eve's rebellion in Eden, namely the sin of disobedience in consuming from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

[Laffy Kat]

32. You could put my entire religious education in a thimble...

But I thought it was Mary that was the immaculate conception. That it was Jesus' mother who was born free from original sin. I'm confused about this. I have seen it both with Mary and regarding Jesus.

Not that this matters in the least. It's all myth to me and Roy Moore is TOAST, hahahahaha.

[Mariana]

71. Baptists believe Mary didn't remain a virgin for life.

She had sex with Joseph after Jesus was born.

[lagomorph777]

18. Boom! Maybe Moore should read that Bobble thang he thumps so lovingly.

[keithbvadu2]

50. As practiced by Christians, the Bible is like a buffet... Pick the parts you like and ignore the res

And?!!!

[Madam45for2923]

5. Ugh!

[janterry]

6. LOL

IS this really the position his supporters want to take?

[angrychair]

26. No

Apparently their position is that god was a pedophile.

[SergeStorms]

61. That's why....

they think it's perfectly alright for them to do it. Hey, if it's good enough for the "big guy" it's good enough for them.

[Motley13]

7. they probably think women should still be having babies in

stables

[Kaleva]

9. Does the bible say how old Mary and Joseph were?

[sarge43]

67. No. n/t

[mac56]

10. Not even denying it.

[lagomorph777]

19. Ah ditn dewit and it were perfekly OK iff'n ah diyad.

[oasis]

41. What a nut!

[Kingofalldems]

11. So Roy Moore is now Joseph.

I believe!!!111!!

[spanone]

12. so the implication is that it was alright for moore to sexually assault teenagers....

because joseph was a pedophile???

[forgotmylogin]

28. Heck, the pioneers took 13 year old brides!

They're like pioneers!

Or, as pioneers are called today, the FLDS.

[FSogol]

13. Didn't Jesus have 2 Dads?

[angrychair]

25. Jesus

Was his own dad.
He spent all that time talking to himself...Ghost version of himself...he asked himself why he foresaked himself...

[Corvo Bianco]

33. Sent himself to save the others

From himself

[They_Live]

49. You nailed it!!

heh.

[paleotn]

60. Ha!!!

[rpannier]

74. Cue Ray Stevens

I'm my own grandpa
in this case, I'm my own pa

[underpants]

14. He thinks a lot of himself doesn't he?

[Coventina]

16. It's funny 'cuz it's blasphemous.

[Stuckinthebush]

17. I knew it! So predictable

Bring in God. Start confusing the issue with Jesus.

Soon he will stand up with his wife and pastor and denounce the devil.

My gods this crap hurts my head.

[msongs]

20. so mary had a fling with god behind joseph's back. which 10 commandments applies to that? nt

[Yavin4]

29. Joseph on his wedding night.

[SergeStorms]

63. Beautiful!

I hadn't seen that episode before.

[karynnj]

22. I think he missed a bit of religious school -- where Mary was a virgin

and Jesus was the son of God.

[denbot]

23. Wow, just wow..

A kick for Hypocrisy, may it Rest In Peace.

[Doreen]

27. My eyes are rolling into the back of my head.

[Corvo Bianco]

31. Yay for Christianity

Let us never forget the first Christian child rape case

[trof]

35. State auditor is a nut.

Jim Ziegler

[Freethinker65]

36. Please be satire

[Takket]

37. Only a fellow pedophile

Could come up with such an asinine justification.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

39. Where in the New Testament does it actually say how old Mary was?

Or Joseph for that matter.

More to the point, they did get married to each other.

[Nevernose]

44. GOP logic: all women are sluts by nature

Mary was a virgin. Ergo, she must’ve gotten angelically impregnated before she was old enough to be slutty. Science!

[oasis]

40. You gotta be kidding me.

.......

[Iggo]

42. So, to defend a guy who fucks children, he claims Jesus's dad fucked children, too?

Wow.

[syringis]

46. Judicious and lapidary synthesis

[Bernardo de La Paz]

45. It boils down to they say you're not a pedophile/abuser if you are a RepubliCON candidate. . nt

[Progressive dog]

47. I thought God was supposed to be Jesus' dad

and Mary was a virgin. I also don't remember anything in the Bible about God molesting Mary.

[dalton99a]

48. So, Alabama State Auditor Jim Ziegler knows for a fact that Jesus' father really liked young girls.

[paleotn]

51. What's next with these clowns?!

defending incest?

[SergeStorms]

68. Don't go there!

Please. I couldn't take their explanation of that one.

[volstork]

73. Watch out!!

You just might be correct!!

[erpowers]

78. Noah's Daughters

Didn't Noah's daughters get him drunk and have sex with him in order to repopulate the Earth? I may be wrong, I thought someone's daughters had sex with him because there were no other men they could have sex with and have children.

So, I do not know, maybe the Republicans will say incest is okay when they are no other available men. Maybe they will say the father had sex with his daughter because he could not find a suitable man for her and he wanted her to have a child.

[Crunchy Frog]

82. That was Lot, but the principle is the same.

It's in the Bible, not condemned, so Alabama will probably try to make it legal.

[keithbvadu2]

52. Republican/right wing religious family values

Republican/right wing religious family values

[Pepsidog]

53. Its 2017 and we are living in The Twilight Zone

where 30 year old pervert hillbillies are “romantically” involved with 14 year olds girls. Every time I think these ass backward southern rejects could not go any lower they continually outdo themselves. Now a candidate for the United States Senate is a sexual predator of young girls. Where I live in NJ Roy would be in prison for his “romantically” courting,as they say, underage girls or his ass would be handed to him by a furious Father. This self righteous pieces of shit should all be in prison along with the sick bastards that vote for him.

[yuiyoshida]

54. Some one has a high opinion of themselves...

Goman na hito ga Kirada . 五万な ひと が キラだ, I hate arrogance. 私は傲慢さが嫌い

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

55. The Bible thumpers got their Bible story wrong.

God got Mary pregnant; Joseph wasn't Jesus' father and didn't knock Mary up. That whole virgin birth thing, remember?

18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.

20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.

22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:

25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus.

Matthew 1:18 et seq.

[TNNurse]

59. And no mention of her age.

[SergeStorms]

56. That's just SOFA-KING disgusting, even for a Republican!

These people (Republicans) have absolutely no honor or humility at all. What disgusting pigs.

[George II]

57. Mary may have been a teenager, but wasn't Jesus' conception "immaculate"?

[ehrnst]

58. For FUCKS sake... (nt)

[Historic NY]

62. Fuck I'm for stoning his ass...............

Blasphemy!!!!

[Ken Burch]

64. ...Joseph was actually the stepfather in that scenario...

At least that's what they taught us in MY Sunday school classes.

[L. Coyote]

69. Defenders are saying, "So what if he did something illegal, he's a man and she's a woman."

So fuck her, literally and metaphorically, and now symbolically too. This pervasive culture of sexual abuse and male dominance must be arrested, literally, along with the criminals.

Where are the arrests?

[McCamy Taylor]

79. Behold the face of the Lord of Lies.

[mnmoderatedem]

80. so I guess that justifies ANY grown man molesting a 14 year old girl?

oh wait, it's only OK if that grown man happens to be a republican running for congress. Silly me.

[AllyCat]

83. So he is both the man and the woman?

[Kingofalldems]

84. Well now he is Jesus:
