[serryjw]

I know, I know I am a BUJEW but is it really possible that 79% of Americans believe that Jesus was really born from the Virgin Mary with no human father?

1. sure it is.

it says so right in the bible, and a great many people take anything in there literally.

[Placebo]

2. Even scarier...

is how many still believe that the earth was created in 6 days.

5. And the earth is square!!

9. Comman - we all know its flat not square

3. It's An Allegory & On Some Subconscious Level People Understand

what the symbolism means.

4. Of course it's possible. He's called the Son of God.

I can't imagine any Christian believing something else. It would put a kink into the words Son of God, wouldn't it?

[JVS]

6. Yeah. This statistic is about as amazing as finding out...

that large numbers of Israelis are circumcised

[movonne]

8. I have always believed we all are the sons of God...after all he

supposedly made us all in his image.

[alcuno]

10. Absolutely.

However, I am the product of my parent's DNA. Christians don't believe that about Jesus. Divine intervention.

7. He's a clone, duh!!!

:evilgrin:

[roguevalley]

11. scary. just scary.

[splat]

12. Myth, sci-fi and religion all have superior races breeding with humans

Imagine what would happen if we started breeding with monkeys. They'd develop religions about us.

13. After I read This>>>>>>>

"Sixty-two percent say they favor teaching creation science in addition to evolution in public schools"

I told myself...I GOT to get away from these nuts...Americans.

[bullimiami]

14. I dont believe it.

[bryant69]

15. I believe it

It's a core teaching of many versions of Christianity (unlike Creationism). Jesus Christ had to be both man and God in order to accomplish what he accomplished when he took upon himself the sins of the world. I don't know, obviously, what that process was, or how it happend, but I believe it did happen.

16. i bet you if Jesus came back as a human, he'd be locked up if he tried to

say who he was. And if he ran for public office, he'd get called a socialist.

these stats are not surprising considering 80% plus of the nation is Christian.
