"Immaculate conception" and "Virgin birth" are not the same *&^%$%&(*# thing

I hate to carp on this, but people are always trying to make money off a trend with these crappie parody products.

42

Usually, you cats are pretty funny, but I’m not taking the bait on this one. I’ll just perch over here.

43

I hate to interrupt a grapeworthy bad pun run, but…

Is anybody taking the time to show a little empathy for Mary here?

I mean, she gets the burden of delivering the Son of God, and what does she get? Not so much as a kiss, thank you very much!

At least Zeus had the decency to offer his concubines a little godly nookie, even if it did take some kinky shapes.

Shadow, my ass! Ever make love to a shadow? Fun it ain’t!

44

Well, she did get crowned Queen of Heaven and all. I mean, it isn’t sex, but at least it’s something.

I’m trying to work something up with ‘halibut’ and ‘grouper’, but it isn’t working.

45

Don’t worry, I’m sure your mental block is just a fluke.

46

Let’s tuna our attention back to the OP, lest this thread flounder further. For the dopers out there who believe that Mary was an “perpetual virgin”, that she was conceived of sinless stock herself, may I ask, CITE!?

Direct me to some text between Genesis and Revelation which supports those allegations, and I’ll be happy to read, as I may have missed something over the years. In advance-don’t dismiss with “It’s a mystery.” It’s time to lay your cods on the table or clam up. :wink:

47

Are you assuming Sola Scriptura there, dances? :smiley: Crabby Prostestants. Always whaling on tradition. Even worse than those halibut-eaters.
Who don’t believe in cod.

48

I’ve heard of people taking it in the ass, but never on.

If Mary was without Original Sin, does that mean she didn’t know the difference between good and evil? Does it mean that she was deprived of her free will by God?

If not, then why doesn’t God make all of us without original sin? If it’s good enough for his kid’s mom, why ain’t it good eough for everyone else?

Maybe Cod had a haddock.

Two answers may be applicable here:

  1. Those who don’t believe in Cod are going to Halibut.

  2. Those who don’t beleive in Cod are soleless vegetarians.

Cod was my co-pilot. Then we crashed and I made a nice filet of him.
