I'm guessing khat or hashish were daft Joe's and loose Mary's drug of choice...Given all the free love and angels that were going down at the time

Yes...Roman Catholics are very good at theo-tourism, having a vast, gullible consumer base who have a propensity for tacky souvenirs made in China...One can always find room for another Mary.

Yes, dick fiddlers all.
Must be a genetic propensity for huge penises and tight foreskins.

Could be a thought provoking black comedy set against the backdrop of a remote, post apocalyptic industrial town.
Chelsea desperate to preserve the integrity of her cream slice, in the face of overwhelming hard hats, steel toe caps and grime encrusted men hungry for relief from the daily grind and stale bread and cheese.
Jack stands out from the crowd, his vest clean and white........

Your girlfriend cheating?
No, would count as her typical modus operandi.
So just enjoy the sex whilst it is available.
And then move on to Miss Sensible.
Why not ask Shila for a date.

Ah, new spin.
So Joseph conceived Jesus.
Now that is pushing the bounds of divine intervention.
Though daft Joe would have believed anything.
And Mary's virgin birth is about as factual as trifle monsters on planet custard.
What we can say for sure, is that if a relative biblical character referred to as Mary gave birth to a corresponding son named as Jesus, then approximately 9 months prior to the birth some bloke penetrated and ejaculated into a fecund vagina thereby initiating gamete fusion.
That's the way it was , as you well know.

Religion is a notional creation and existence hypothesis, whereas archaeology is a broad academic exercise that attempts to scientifically understand the recent past.
Archaeology is scientific and fact driven and tests hypotheses as such, whereas religion is based solely upon the suppositional notion of a divine and usually humanesque entity...So archaeology will never find god, though it might shed some light upon people and events and will inevitably include religion, given the nature of human social history.
There are other earth and cosmological sciences, such as palaeontology, geology and astrophysics that look way beyond the briefness of human involvement for answers to the question of creation and existence.
We Christians consider the virgin birth to be a miracle.
Yeah bro, consideration is about the strength of it.
And just like I cannot substantiate the existence of trifle monsters on planet custard, you Christians cannot substantiate the the circumstances surrounding the nature of a pregnancy that occurred over 2000 years ago...So consider we must...Notwithstanding, that both you and I know how pregnancies actually occur.
And gospel narratives are...No Wesley required...Though what gospel narratives are is clear to me and necessary for you...Because you are a conditioned believer and I am conditioned to be sceptical.

Religion is as religion does and archaeology is as archaeology does. And neither is a necessary requirement of the other.
And the only holes in my heart are the ones that the blood flows through (Hopefully).
And yep, if Mary was pregnant then she wasn't a virgin, because I doubt very much that IVF was commonplace back in the day.
You're taught non-sense and you believe non-sense....Same as any one who follows any religion...Doesn't matter which religion that archaeologists have been digging up the most...It's the way it goes.
Which isn't to say that other more logical super-intelligence hypotheses aren't worthy of secondary consideration...But not magic.

Yes, women spend time and money titivating the hair on their heads and time and money removing it from everywhere else.
Daftest of all is removing eyebrows and then painting on fake ones.
So how do you two approach the issue of body hair.
It would be interesting and fascinating to have an in depth understanding of your culture and beauty standards.
At 66 I've largely given up on hair management, though Mrs Zed insists on intervening from time to time.
Nose hairs used to be quick growing and bothersome, but I have since grown a beard and now nose hairs just merge with the moustache.
And yes I do wash it at least once a month.

Yes, provides a revenue stream for colleges and consequently an income source for lecturers.
It's good to circulate money around the system.
And for sure, it's no good Mrs Chelsea Bun the baker, applying for a construction site managers job without the relevant training...Nor Mr Jack Hammer thinking that he can just rock up and start messing with Mrs Bun's cream slice.
Whatever next?

Without penetration and sperm there would have been no Jesus.
They had to make up the virgin stuff to cover up the infidelity.
Given the ten commandments and all that.
Thou shall't not have sex with thy neighbours ass, as it were.

That is an untruth...You have never seen him praying in a garden.
And if his "karma" was preordained, then Judas could hardly betray him.

Well more correctly Bethlehem was formerly in Canaan and later occupied by Jews from elsewhere.

Well, it's impossible know the facts of ancient Middle Eastern society, so one can only assume certain things.
Though GOD was certainly created in mans image, and I do know from childhood experience that God was latterly depicted as European rather that Middle Eastern.

If left, Karma simply becomes a future possibility.
So you cross the road smugly and five years later you get hit by a car.
What were the chances of that?
Reasonably high, especially if you were texting.

Karma is karma when it is seemingly karma...When it isn't, no such assessment is necessary.
Though because events occur in sequence at the speed of time, it's very easy to make inaccurate assessments by overlooking the more mundane aspects of an individuals sequence.
Karma is only karma when it follows in sequence...Not the next day, or after a visit to the bathroom.
