Don't call us Mormons

So what? I didn’t say they did.

You said a bunch of crap and I called you on it. Own it.

I think you’re a nut case- matter of fact I know you are- own it.

Well that’s one way to rationalize your own ignorance. You go for it.

If you are speaking strictly to belief, there’s a lot of things in the Bible that defy common sense. Virgin births, the dead rising from the grave, water turning to wine, talking donkeys, seas parting, etc. - all of that at face value is fantastical. It’s only been given legitimacy by thousands of years of history.

Actually, ‘‘virgin births’’ are possible. The couple of a friend of mine had one. It has to do with being a ‘‘■■■■■ teaser’’. The girl was shocked when she found out she was prego and the Dr. had to explain it to her. TRUE STORY.

More accuracy, this would be a virgin pregnancy.

So what do you believe to be credible Christian religions? Short list.

That’s organized religion - led by zealots using religion as an assault to destroy another. It’s not Christianity.

Religion and Christianity are two separate things.

Protestants, catholics, eastern orthodox for a short list.

Isn’t that’s what Jonestown and Heaven’s Gate ended up being? Destroying themselves.

I’m intrigued.

I had never heard of the term “■■■■■ teaser”. I googled it. Apparently it’s the same as a ■■■■ tease. That makes sense. However, a ■■■■ tease means a woman who leads men on to believe she will have sex with them even though she has no intention to. As far as I know, you can’t get pregnant by simply implying you’re down for sex.

So… What happened?

They were teenagers, they’d be naked and she’d let him ejaculate on her vagina thinking there was no worry. Well, it happened enough that some of those little guys sneaked through and…virgin pregnancy. That’s the story they told me, just hanging out in my friends apt.

She would have been better off utilizing God’s loophole.

God’s loophole???

Oh…you mean Greek style, :wink:

Do you have that bible verse? :grin:

The way that i understand the argument, it’s the lack of a verse condemning it that makes it ok.

Edited to add: Part of the beauty of Christianity, as practiced in the United States, is that you don’t actually need biblical sources in order to claim religious conviction.

Particularly for catholics where the church discourages reading the bible. They expect catholics to believe what the church says, not the bible.

We Catholics aren’t encouraged to read the Bible???!! Why didn’t my priests and nuns tell me this decades ago?

(Catholics who attend Mass every Sunday read through the Bible every three years. Those who attend daily Mass read the Bible every year.)
