"Virgin Birth", "The Seven Days Of Creation", "Transubstantiation"

[CyberPieHole]

Jesus is the son of the VIRGIN Mary.

God created the earth in SIX days. On the SEVENTH day, God rested.

Bread and wine, when consecrated in the Eucharist become the BODY and BLOOD of Christ. During Communion one eats and drinks it.



Many people have no problem believing and accepting these ideas as FACT. If anyone questions them, or asks for proof, they take offense. Dennis Kucinich saw a U.F.O. and he's crazy?:silly:

1. He was set up to look like a nut....totally unfair as no one else had to answer the same question

[mondo joe]

2. But the point of a campaign isn't what you're asked but how you answer. Notice how

skillfully Obama handled the next question and turned it completely to his advantage.

[opihimoimoi]

9. But the nx question had nothing to do with UFOs, Fairies, Ghosts, gremlins, elves, etc.

[mondo joe]

11. It was about life on other planets. And Obama handled it brilliantly.

Political campaigns aren't support groups - they're nasty and unfriendly, especially if you're a Dem.

A good candidate will use whatever is thrown at them to their advantage.

[opihimoimoi]

19. I agree he handled it nicely but I maintain there is a difference and my point was; ALL of them were

not asked the same question.

[CyberPieHole]

4. Set-up indeed!

I guess it was a RW payback for questioning the sanity of the cretin in the White House.

8. DENIGRATE THE MESSENGER...thats what it was...bastids.

[CyberPieHole]

10. Denigrate is too kind they were out for total and complete destruction...

And then they were yukking it up!:grr:

[Dhalgren]

3. K&R! Excellent point. Exactly right!

[CyberPieHole]

5. Thank you for your kind response...

and hello to you, Dhalgren.:hi:

[Dhalgren]

12. Back at cha', PieHole!

:hi:

It's "gag at a gnat and swallow a camel" time here at DU! Perspective is everything - and a lot of these "progressives" have none at all it seems...

6. Theological note: The Immaculate Conception is the conception of Mary not Jesus

[CyberPieHole]

7. Thank you for that...I have changed it to "Virgin Birth"

is that the correct term for Jesus being born to the "virgin" Mary?

[RB TexLa]

15. Yeah, it's a point of Catholic dogma not shared by our Protestant friends

A few in the Anglican communion accept it. And trust me you'd find a number of Catholics that confuse it.

But yes, virgin birth would be a correct terminology.

13. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

There is certainly more proof for UFO's than there is for Jesus.

[CyberPieHole]

16. I agree, katandmoon...and welcome to DU...

I'm a newbie, but I welcome you nonetheless.:hi:

14. I know several people that had sex with a virgin and they gave birth.

Why would God create the world in seven days. If he is God couldn't he do it in a nano second? Why would God have to rest?
Isn't 'tired' a negative concept that is beneath the existence of God?. Days, months, years are arbitrary human concepts that do nothing more than mark chemical and centrifugal changes. Time does not exist only movement. Concepts of heaven are generally infinite. But infinity has an end otherwise it loops. :dem:

[CyberPieHole]

17. Mary was a virgin even AFTER giving birth to the baby Jesus...

but I think you know that.:spank:

18. "...doin' the Vatican Rag..."

The Vatican Rag
by Tom Lehrer

First you get down on your knees,
Fiddle with your rosaries,
Bow your head with great respect,
And genuflect, genuflect, genuflect!

Do whatever steps you want, if
You have cleared them with the Pontiff.
Everybody say his own
Kyrie eleison,
Doin' the Vatican Rag.

Get in line in that processional,
Step into that small confessional,
There, the guy who's got religion'll
Tell you if your sin's original.
If it is, try playin' it safer,
Drink the wine and chew the wafer,
Two, four, six, eight,
Time to transubstantiate!

So get down upon your knees,
Fiddle with your rosaries,
Bow your head with great respect,
And genuflect, genuflect, genuflect!

Make a cross on your abdomen,
When in Rome do like a Roman,
Ave Maria,
Gee it's good to see ya,
Gettin' ecstatic an'
Sorta dramatic an'
Doin' the Vatican Rag!
