>Mary comes home one day and says, "Joseph I'm pregnant">Joseph confusingly states, "But Mary, we've never even had sex!?">Mary confidently responds, "Yes Joseph, it's God's baby! I'm still a virgin">(awkward silence)>"Believe me", Mary says>(crickets)>"Well... alright", says Joseph Is this really the greatest story ever told?
>>24942598No. And it's not one told in the Bible either.
>>24942598he was the dad that stepped up
>getting cucked by godmust be
>>24942600What does the original version tell?
>>24942618See it on your local bookstore. Surely you don't use "original" to refer to some head-canon nobody has ever seen, right?
>God doesn't want Adam and Eve eating from the tree of knowledge>Plants it right in the middle of the garden with easily reachable fruit and no obstacles >Even invites his snake friend in to tempt a human shaped rib into eating the fruit and kicking Adam out of his houseWas God just asshole father who regretted having kids and didn't want to take care of them anymore?
>>24942598
>>24942640Without the knowledge of good and evil Adam wouldn’t understand why it is right to follow god so really I think the message is that it is a self fulfilling prophecy - you must be fallen to understand right and wrong
>>24942640>invites his snake friend in to tempt a humanThat's not how it goes lol
>>24942644>Adam wouldn’t understand why it is right to follow godHe still obeyed until tricked. Obviously it was possible. Even dogs know how to follow orders without understanding ethics.
Christians are the most gullible and easily rooked people in the world.
>>24942660I guess Pagans even moreso since they all converted
>>24942618IIRC Joseph doubted Mary and was about to leave her but then an angel gave him divine confirmation
>>24942651>Even dogs know how to follow orders without understanding ethics.But that doesn't make them good.
>>24942681Idk about yours but my dog is a good boy. Not as good as if he had understood the ethical ramification of his actions, but good nonetheless.
>>24942660roman pagans were just modern fedorasthey didnt even believe in their own religion.If all the works of the 'philosophers' had been lost nothing of value wouldve been lost
>>24942598He was going to divorce her quietly until an angel came to him in a dream and told him it was God's son.
