There's "Something About Mary"?

by JASmius



Actually, yes, there was something about Mary - just not what the bigoted, hatemongering, Christophobic, pagan filth atheists prefer to believe:

Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the descendants of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.  And coming in, he said to her, "Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you.” But she was very perplexed at this statement, and kept pondering what kind of salutation this was. The angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name Him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David; and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no end.” Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I am a virgin?”  The angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for that reason the holy Child shall be called the Son of God.  And behold, even your relative Elizabeth has also conceived a son in her old age; and she who was called barren is now in her sixth month. For nothing will be impossible with God.” And Mary said, “Behold, the bondslave of the Lord; may it be done to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.

And no, Valerie Tarico, that does NOT mean that "God f**ked her":

Tarico is indulging the much-beloved anti-Christian pastime of “zooming out” – i.e., ham-fistedly putting all faiths under the indistinct blob of “religion” in order to make the fatuous point that religion is very bad. Never mind that Christianity in its earliest stages came out explicitly, and at great personal cost to its adherents, against the paganism that characterized the wider world at that time, and that populates Tarico’s piece in this time. The ancient Israelites too went to great lengths to separate themselves from the barbaric pagans who surrounded them–see Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, pretty much the entire Old Testament, and a little-known treatise called the Ten Commandments.

To sum up, “Mary was raped” requires a few assumptions. First, that rape does not have to include sexual intercourse of any kind. Second, that the archangel Gabriel visiting the Blessed Mother is the same as Zeus turning into a bull and hauling off Europa. And third, that Luke 1:46 onward – a passage in the very same source Tarico cites – does not exist. In other words, “Mary was raped” makes perfect sense if words have no meaning, all religions are the same, and the Bible actually is the straw-man caricature Tarico tore into on Sunday.

Jaw-dropping ignorance of Christianity among liberal commentators seems to crop up with extra strength around Christmas and Easter. Perhaps the Valerie Taricos of the world figure that those who would usually debunk such nonsense are off enjoying the season. But instead of flouting Abraham Lincoln’s wisdom (which – surprise! – appears in the Bible) on remaining silent and being thought a fool, oblivious anti-Christian curmudgeons ought to try enjoying the season themselves. They might learn something for a change.

Naturally.  Because, of course, bigoted, hatemongering, Christophobic, pagan filth atheists know what God's Word REALLY means way better than "Zeus" does.

I'm still waiting for Miss Tarico's long, vitriolic, equivalent essay on Allah and his murderous, drug-addled, pedophilic "prophet" Mohammed.  I'm sure it will be published any day now.
