[Pope releases album for Christmas, litanies and chants in honour of the Virgin Mary.]
What, pray tell, does MARY have to do with CHRISTmas??? They may as well just change the name to "MARYMAS"

Miryam was the ultimate Jewish mother. When all the other baleboosteh were boasting about their son the lawyer, and their son the doctor, Miryam just sits and smiles smugly. She doesn't say anything, of course; they wouldn't believe her, after all.
Jesus was a mama's boy, so I'm sure he'd be more than happy to have people sing the praises of his mother. You're probably just a dick who thought nothing more of his mother than "it was her womanly duty to be my walking incubator, so why should I honor her, again?"
Besides, every year for my birthday, I get my mother a bouquet of roses corresponding the number of flowers to the years I've been alive, and I'm sure Jesus is at least as good a child as I am. Except that he can get a fucking religion to do stuff for his mom. Best son ever.
Damn.. a celebration of a young virgin? I think Im getting a woody right now. Marry was so fucking hot even god couldnt hold back the bone.
Mary was so bad ass hot that she could pop out a kid and STILL be a virgin!
Mary was so fine that god himself said; "she can do whatever she wants and still be sinless..GOD DAMN shes fine!"
Mary was so fucking phat that G-dog himself said "GOD DAMN!!!" when he saw her fine ass walkin by.
Mary was so...okay..Ill let it go..LOL.
Yeah, mothers aren't important. She just gave birth to the kid, but really, they could have told the story without her.
Didn't she have some minor role in the Incarnation? Or haven't you read Matthew and Luke?
And if you have read them, isn't there just the slightest chance Jesus might have called her 'Mother'?
Or don't you believe that Jesus came into the world throught the virgin's vagina? Or the Angel's unique salutation: 'Hail, full of God's favour; He is with you and so you are blessed of all women, and the child you carry is the Blessed One'?
Or are you an agnostic like me, Nightelf?
What does Mary have to do with Christmas?!? We have to celebrate Jesus being born of Mary, who was made pregnant by God, who is himself, Jesus.
You can't be that thick, can you? Oh wait. Never mind.
Mary purportedly gave birth to Jesus, yes> And since 'Christ' just means Lord, shouldn't it be Jesusmas?
What, pray tell, does MARY have to do with CHRISTmas???
That's when Jesus came out of her va-jay-jay?
@ Thinking Allowed :
I'm betting Nightelf here is a WoW player AND a Jesus freak.
Oh, sure, I can hear you cry: "That's impossible! Everyone who's ever read a Chick tract knows that role-playing games teach witchcraft!"
But I say to you, that Chick tract was written about Dungeons & Dragons. The ability to see a similarity between D&D and WoW implies more intelligence than Nightelf here probably posesses.
To be fair, the question about Mary came from someone on Rapture Ready. You wouldn't expect anyone from Rapture Ready to know anything about Scripture, after all, they believe in the Rapture and it is entirely unscriptural.
Mary Mary was pregnant, and then Jesus went 'POP' and she was pregnant no more.
But, more importantly... WHY DOES THE POPE HAVE AN ALBUM OMFGWUT?!
Well, she was kind of there when it happened...
For that matter what does Jesus have to do with Christmas? He was born in what is now early September.
What does Mary have to do with Christmas?!? We have to celebrate Jesus being born of Mary, who was made pregnant by God, who is himself, Jesus.
WIN.
What, pray tell, does MARY have to do with CHRISTmas???
Shit, they have Mothers' Day for that, don't they?
Rapture Readyians may as well describe themselves as Whooshtians. The Anal Rocketry Sect strikes again and brings up ages-old inter-religious warring and quarreling at the slightest of promptings. Perhaps they'll kiss and make-up soon or, to put it more precisely, in 10 billion, billion, trillion years, which is when the arse firing is scheduled to begin. Ah, the wonders of fundamentalist cults, they're so enticing, so exhilarating. Bet you can't wait for blast-off Nightelf?
"They may as well just change the name to "MARYMAS"
So no Mary Christmas for you then...
Oh, and Sol Invictus / Mithras called...he wants his holiday back.
There is already a Marymass. Actually, there are two, one in the spring and one in the fall. That is, march 25. and august 15. Please learn something, hm?
And lo! Joseph went to the cabbage patch and saw therein a child.
And Joseph was joyful and called to his gay lover, "Look, here is a child left in the cabbage patch!"
And Joseph's lover said, "Yea, verily, and there is the stork that brought forth this child into the world!"
Joseph raised his eyes to the heavens and thanked the stork for the gift it had bestowed upon them.
Then, Joseph said, "We will take this child and raise him, and we shall teach him love and tolerance, and, whether he be gay or straight, he will be accepted and nurtured by us for all the days of his life."
Yep, leaving Mary and her rapist out makes a much better story, I think.
With all the hooplah of virgin -vs- nonvirgin (the Ez 'prophecy' - almah mean young maid, there is better word for virgin) they never called him Emmanuel, etc.
Jebus upset about dissing his mom?? Get real - she thought he was crazy and he yells & screams at her...real respect there.
While we're on the subject, what, pray tell, does Jesus Christ have to do with the Winter Solstice? They may as well just change the name to "christmas"
didnt mary kinda like, give birth to jesus, maybe i was mistaken.
ya know its bad when even the christians cant agree with each other.
Many American Christian fundamentalists like the RR crowd, who usually are either Baptists or take most of their theology from them, believe that Mary isn't the mother of Christ, but only the mother of the human Jesus. Catholics call this the Nestorian Heresy, because it implies that Jesus was a man into whom the godhead was poured, rather than both man and god together in a single "essence". Some Protestants - Baptists in particular - have never completely shed the slight whiff of Arianism (not Nazi Aryanism - that's completely unrelated) that characterized the German and Polish Christianity from which Protestantism sprung.
"So now the Pope is adding to the billions of man who is openly gay. This is shameful. What the Vatican won't do for money!"
Funny, but when I think of organizations openly helping & supporting gays, the Catholic church never comes to mind.
anti-nonsense said: "Um...she was supposedly the woman who gave birth to the baby Jesus. I think that kind of means she deserves some honour, if you assume that Jesus existed and was the Son of God and all."
Yeah, but spittin' out babies is a woman's (only) duty. Nothing special about what Mary did.
Nightelf, eh?
Well, can't say I'm entirely surprised seeing this kind of idiocy from someone that apparently plays Alliance...
No offense to any one of you that plays Alliance and isn't a complete idiot, but you are few and far between.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
