Grown adults have decided to base their lives on fairy stories written in bronze age Palestine, and you're wondering why people feel the need to mock that?

Grown adults who have faith. And yes, people feel the need to mock something they don't understand. You can believe whatever you like... I don't feel the need to mock you because that would be ignorant of me.

People are allowed their opinion. I personally find all organised religion to be bull**** because it's all written by man at the end of the day. People are allowed to believe what they want and so am I and I believe that organised religion, at it's core, has always been a weapon of control.

Dirty slapper

The Jews and the Muslims think he existed... but wasn't the son of God.

Joseph was a closet gay and Mary was a fag hag pretending to be his virgin wife whilst getting dick on the side. They both panicked at the pregancy and came up with a far fetched story that managed to scam humanity for thousands of years. Name a more iconic duo?

Yeah... his message was love each other. Provocative b*****d

[Tom4784]

As with all religions, Christianity took a real person and created a fiction out of their life to better indoctrinate the masses.

By all accounts, Jesus was simply a preacher preaching love and peace, I'd rather focus on that then the fiction that was written around him to weaponise him.

[Kazanne]

I was going to comment here,but as a Christian I find some of the comments really offensive,so I will pass on this one.

Most likely explanation is that Joseph himself got Mary pregnant before they were married, which at the time was a major issue, so they were like "No Wtf she is still a virgin honest must have been God".

[AnnieK]

If people's beliefs aren't forced on others and don't hurt anyone else why mock them? I don't like people forcing their beliefs on children but if they believe that Jesus was the Son of God born to a Virgin what's the problem

[bots]

People are allowed to mock others for just about anything, so why should religion get a free pass? People take this stuff way to seriously

[Twosugars]

there's a fine line tho
Christians get singled out bc they won't sue or blow anybody up for it
don't see as much ridicule of Jews and Muslims, do you?
these three religions share a lot of stuff, you know

Probably because (certainly for me anyway) people grew up with Christianity. I know alot about it, i was indoctrinated in to it so I feel more qualified to speak about that more than others that I have limited knowledge of. But in a general sense I think it's all BS, if that helps you?

Christians & Catholics always get singled out .

In real life I heard someone saying she thinks the Bible & Virgin Mary is "rubbish" yet in the same breath contradicted herself by saying she respects Muslims , if that's not a contradiction I don't know what is .

If you're an Atheist at least be consistent .

personally I'm not fussed, I can take it (and I'm not religious)
but it does make me feel bad when our Christian members feel unable to post here bc of the abuse, especially now at Christmas

What abuse? no one has abused any members on here. The whole virgin thing should be questioned, I mean like I said, they now think it was probably an error in translation

Like i said reincarnation is unusual and Crystals & healing can also be questioned as well but there's people that believe in those things.

Yeah some people do question these things , but more people embrace those things more and it's seen as "cool"
