The translation of the bible was young woman not virgin. also the bible hints that Mary was raped by a Roman soldier in the book of matthew.
read this article under section called rape:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/christianity/history/virginmary_4.shtml
There was an ancient legend from the Jewish side that Mary was the victim of a rape. They even gave us the name of the Roman soldier who was supposed to have carried out this rape, a man called Panthera, which apparently was quite a common name for Roman soldiers.

What do you think of the horse fossil record showing the transitional states of horse evolution? And what of the Pakistani whale fossils that show a transition from land mammal to aquatic? If this doesn't bridge the gap between micro an macro evolution for you, what will?

I have it on good authority that His Holiness the Dalai Lama is fed up with the divisions between religions and he wants to settle this once and for all.

He has challeged Jesus of Nazareth, Mohammad the Prophet and Buddha to an all out, no holes barred cage rage fight. This is going to be big.

Which martial arts will they each use and who will win.

Mother Teresa has agreed to referee.

He's so vilified in the bible and by Christians but wasnt he just playing his part? Didnt Jesus intend to get crucified and 'die for our sins'? If Judas hadnt sold him out then Jesus might have escaped in to the desert and then the crucifix would mean nothing as a symbol. If God is omnicient he knew what was happening anyway. The Gospel of Judas which was recently uncovered points to the idea that Jesus asked Judas to play that particular role. Any thoughts?

This is a relatively new phenomenon that has accelerated with the advent of the Internet. These are women with real hearts and souls from the following countries: Phillippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam AND Russia, Belarus, Ukraine etc. and many from Brazil, African countries who would to go to any extent to find their American male. They would want to marry the Biggest Loser in the West only after knowing him over Email. It knocks me.

All the SoB's and perverts with a US passport see these women as EASY targets and really have a blast and they are never serious but the women see them as their Prince and King.

Now, it's not just about MONEY mind you. There are developing countries like Argentina, Iran, India with most mind-blowing beautiful women but they can give as hard a time to the Western male as a Western woman. You don't score brownie points with them just with your dollars.

For all MAIL ORDER BRIDE COUNTRIES, it's some kind of SELF-HATRED against their own Men.

I believe all religion is evil .... I believe in Our Father God and think that to him our Religion should be our MINDS, FEELINGS and JUDGEMENT

I believe you don't find GOD in going to church and setting forth rules on conduct .... But, you find GOD in putting a smile on a child's face, in helping your fellow man and being an overall good person and having a clean to semi-clean concience ....

"religion" in itself ... yeah the concept of gathering all people who tend to be good is not pure and corrupt as all abuse this concept by setting rules of conducts and segregating from other religious groups ... under GOD we are all the same ... so why the need to segregate????

I believe GOD gave a MIND to think, JUDGEMENT to follow the best route and FEELINGS to appreciate my fellow man.

The biggest truth is the little devil and little angel on your shoulders .. and just you in the middle to determine in what way to go.

Agree?? yes?? no??

My local newspaper runs a weekly poll question where they go into our local mall and stop people and ask them a question...This weeks question was "Are you upset when you buy someone a gift and they do not reciprocate"? Most people actually answered yes. That they do not like to give gifts to people unless they feel they will get one in return and they think its very rude to not get one. Have we totally lost what Christmas stands for?
