the statutory rape birth

12.20: rn.relig/christianity/virgin birth:

. skeptics point out that virgin means young girl,

but preacher counters:

the way the term was used then,

young girl implied virgin, as in too young for marriage .

. my counter to the preacher's point

was that the skeptic still has the same result:

virgin implied too young for legal

rather than succeeding at staying legal .

. that, of course, would still be a minor point,

since the glaring delusion of christianity

is to think that something is so just because there are

some authentic writings of people believing it was so .

. who are these believers?

can we cross-examine them now? conveniently not!

. but, of course,

that is a minor point to the central issue:

christian's have a lot of material

that would prove existence of the supernatural,

and of psychological solution to many of our problems;

why are they insisting on fundamentalist

concrete interpretations of the bible

when the symbolic ones are just as useful ?

. why are they making an issue about

god being in the form of man?

. the catholic vision of a one-world religion is

commendable as an approach to world-wide peace,

but tacking on every sort of superstition

just to make everyone feel at home

is hardly doing justice to christ's intended message .
