98. You can't say derogatory things about
Edited on Sun Dec-19-04 07:38 PM by phylny
people of color, otherwise you're a racist. You can't say derogatory things about homosexuals, otherwise you're a homophobe. But you certainly CAN say derogatory things about Christians, and feel free to mock them, too. Evidently that's okay. At least it seems to be in the DU rulebook this way :shrug:

For the record, I believe Mary was a virgin, and gave birth to Jesus, who is my Savior. I make it easy on myself and don't think too hard on the "whys" because I consider these things to be miracles. It's the same way I view the whole "evolution" versus "creationism." I think God created the world, but I think it took billions of years to do so. I have no problem with the two differing viewpoints, because the bibilical story in Genesis is a story, a parable of sorts to explain how God created the universe. I don't think it took six days, but that's how the story goes.

The story in the bible says that Mary was a virgin, that an angel came to her and told her she would conceive through the Holy Spirit.

No problema.
