Poll: Is this Church sign offensive or just hilarious

[Xshu]

Virgin before jesus was born, mary had children after, James was Jesus' brother for example (half-brother I guess), and Joses.

Yes, I meant virgin as "did not have sex with God", not "did not have sex with Joseph"

That's the joke. Nobody thinks she had sex with God, but He did impregnate her. So they're joking around like they had sex.

Seriously, getting offended by this picture should be the test for whether you're a fundie or not.

God created sex to be enjoyed ya know.


Yeah I find it funny, but little kids might ask some awkward questions...

I can see how that can be offensive to some, but I thought that was absolutely hilarious XD

Its good when religion has a sense of humour.

 

[Kathinka]

i find it extremely hilarious (not being an disciple of christian mythology that is, of course)

reminded me of a church window i saw quite some time ago^^

^^

 

[Pielikey]

That is sick and disgusting and I am trying really hard not to laugh at the idea of sticking that in front of a church.

 

[Casual Shinji]

So, is Mary still waiting for the Second Coming?

Now, THIS is funny!

OT: All in all it's pretty damn harmless. It's the kind of joke Dane Cook would make.

 

[Flack]

I love it!

 

[GAME OV3R]

that's made my day

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

Best. Church. EVER.

 

[awesomepanda]

[RatRace123]

It's not funny unless someone is offended.

I think it is funny. Maybe to a super religious person it is offensive, but then again I think you should always be able to laugh at yourself and your beliefs.
Who put up that sign. Was it the church? If it was, that is my new church. I am not a very religious person, but if that church is nearby I am going to visit it just because of that sign.

I think the sign does show that you can have an idea of humor about everything and you do not have to be all serious all the time. Little jokes like this, whether you are serious or not, can just brighten the day.

This sign might actually be benefitial for the church. I know churches are not some store good or something that can be advertised in ads, but the sign does get your attention. It does draw in interest and that might actually bring in more people to the church. I think that it might really help get new church attendors.

My point, exactly. Self-mockery - no matter how slight - is nearly a must, and especially for religious people, to keep things in perspective and to maintain a healthy and realistic view of oneself, his beliefs and the world.

Plus Mary was human and mortal and Joseph was human and mortal, so I don't see how this is so terribly offending. I mean, they did have more children after Jesus, and it doesn't need saying how those came along...

Anyway, I'm totally for this action. It sparks discussion, and that's always a good thing. It makes the mental gears go a-grindin'.

 

[DeathChairOfHell]

aaaah wonderful, wonderful...

 

[WestMountain]

I don't understand it, could someone explain for me? :]

 

[Jonesy911]

Joseph's face is priceless

 

[Shepard's Shadow]

In front of a church it's hilarious, not in front of church, it's slightly offensive.

Oh my god! This is the best day ever, first that thread about cristians trying to figure out what fap means and now this. Freaking hilarious.
