Jesus the product of Rape??

[87x]

I heard today from a friend of mine that there has been a new discovery.... People have found documents that say that Mary (the virgin Mary) filed a rape crime against a Roman Guard (or something like that), well the guy was stoned to death, and people are starting to speculate wether or not Jesus was really a product of God, or if its the product of the Rape... How would this affect Christianity.. or any other religion for that matter..

I haven't tried looking for a link to the news article yet.. but i will be sure to search..

Anways, I have no clue. I'd like to see that article though.

Heh.. ironic... I feel that way about religions in general.

yea... well this isn't religion.. this is a debate on whether the lady got raped or not.. and your view on it... then its a simple question of how would this change christianity, or any other religion... i dont think it falls under a totally religious discussion..

I was f'in with you 87x

Aleco, these things always make for interesting conversation. What did you mean exactly by "End of case"? Does that mean because you are christian that automatically devalidates the possible event that was brought up in this thread?

Cheers,

It's called ignorance and being closed minded, Synth.

[aleco]

I mean there is no way I am going to believe it. It means nothing about others, just me.

[banditcom]

Then make sure we know you mean that aleco. The "End of case" gave us the wrong impression.

[aleco]

Sorry then.
End of case for me. Hopefully other Christians too, but that isn't up to me.

[banditcom]

It's no problem bro.

[Synthlight]

Thanks for the clarification Aleco. Lets say however that it did come to light that indeed that was what happened? How would that affect your views?

Cheers,

Synthlight

[aleco]

Yes, I didn't think it was true for a second.
It would seriously make me wonder, though, if I did believe it.

you are a faithful person aleco.. im also skeptable about the article.. "im not really a christian.. so my faith isn't there to say it didn't happen.. but it's kinda vague with details.."... it says her name might have been "Miriam"... i haven't seen a follow up to this article and it was posted 23 dec, 03, so either they found it to be not true.. OR They just haven't found any other information on it yet.. and just for Jewpin.. There may have been a cover-up, something the cathlic/christian church didn't want us to find out..

[aleco]

Her name may have been Miriam. That is possible.
