But, even in some sort of 'pearl necklace' ... ... situation with everyone involved being hugely careful for none of the 'precious fluid' to spill out on the ground ... not even in drips or drabs -- it still doesn't explain it, Steven... Also, I've always thought that the virgin Mary was completely oblivious to the impregnation. You, too? I mean, <g> does not that aspect of the entire miraculous event mystify you as well? If the virgin remained virginal -- i.e., "pure" and indeed, worthy of adulation for such a selfless deed -- even after giving birth to another human being, she must have been unaware of the moments preceeding, during and after the 'immaculate conception' itself. Like, it 'came to her' in her sleep. This spirit of a sperm slipped into her ... consciousness? Certainly no body cavities could have been involved ... it just sort of, well, HAPPENED!! "And don't ask me any more questions about it, damnit," the nuns and priests who are teaching children this nonsense in "Catechism classes" to this day must think to themselves when questioned logically. Love your analysis of the absurdities of Catholicism ... I'm yet another 8-year parochial elementary school-tithed product of the late 50s/60s ... I would have preferred to go to public school even then. How do you like the limbo thingie? And the wearing of the headgear -- wonder if they still require that of the women only -- and on and on and on -- The emphasis on life-long preoccupation with death? The preposterous notion (and current requirement, I understand) that couples (hetero only, of course) who wish to pay the church a hefty fee in order to hold a wedding ceremony in such a 'sanctioned facility,' must endure a six- or so week 'premarital counseling' course adminstered by a man who allegedly and 'officially' has never had sexual intercourse? I'll stop here for now ... Really enjoy your posts here about all this ... hahahahahahahahaha 'b-i-a' ###
