Oh, hello Garret. I don't believe that the Mary of Christian mythology was a virgin. Are you challenging my right to believe what I will?

@Teh_K42:
Some of my friends while I was living in Dubai told me stuff about the Qu'arn (spelling fail  ) but I'm no expert.
One thing I do remember is that a Jihad, a 'Holy War', has several rules. 1 is that no civilians are to be killed, and the other is that no structures are to be leveled while waging this war. So basically, the Twin Towers was a bit out of step with a Jihad.
The word WAR in an context does not apear in the Qu'rarn at all, it is only in later works and writings that it apears.
Ah, I've never read the Qu'rarn. I was just re-iterating what one of my mates said. Automatically Appended Next Post: @Artik_Firangi: Well, if the poster is anything to go by she didn't stay a virgin for very long...

As has been said before, which is more likely? That a woman defied the laws of nature? Or a Jewish minx told a lie?

We are arming Syrian rebels who support ISIS, who is fighting Iran, who is fighting Iraq who we also support against ISIS, while fighting Kurds who we support while they are fighting Syrian rebels. |

You dont make fun of her because she is one of the most holiest figure in our religion. You dont make fun of other peoples faiths or belief.
|
 -to many points to bother to count.

The Virgin Mary isn't very holy to protestants.
I mean there is no cult of the Virgin like in Roman Catholicism.

Well, she's at best fourth, right? And even that's just among Catholics. I still don't see two things: first, how making fun of the BVM is making fun of a faith or belief; and second, how the billboard was mocking Mary at all.
I'm asking this for a reason, by the way, to see if there's actually a reason for your ire, of if you simply feel that you should be offended.

But WHY cant you? I dont understand it at all.. Religions are just a group of people with an idea. Jedi is officially a religion now... does that mean i cant say that Luke Skywalker is a pansy and Yoda looks like snot?

Some dude, I found from a google search wrote:She was not a virgin after she gave birth to Christ and was just another women.

Well, being a dick about it isn't going to help the situation. Christianity is a 2000 year old faith, the underpinnings of which run through all of western civilization. A certain respect is due to the principles.

I dont think im being a dick, it seems entirely reasonable to say that it was doubtful she was not actually a virgin because she GAVE BIRTH.
I didnt say she had an ugly face or a low IQ or anything..

Pretty much everyone who says they don't believe in God is saying they don't believe Mary was a virgin.

Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.

Well I believe everyone has had the opportunity to make their opinions clear so I'll lock the thread now before it spirals into a flame war.
This is the season of peace on Earth and good will to all men, after all.
