Progressive Christianity doesn't overlook Jesus' life and rush to his death. Rather it sees the radical hospitality he offered to the poor, the despised, women, children, and the sick, and says: 'this is the essence of God'. His death was a consequence of the offensive nature of that hospitality and his resurrection a symbolic vindication. The Christmas billboard outside St Matthew-in-the-City lampoons literalism and invites people to think again about what a miracle is. Is the miracle a male God sending forth his divine sperm, or is the miracle that God is and always has been among the poor?I don't know the answer to this question, but I guess I do appreciate the sentiment.

Who's up for a Holy Threesome?
In my experience it is better when the 2 guys are equally equipped. Poor Joseph indeed.
Mary? More like Jennifer Anniston.
It's uncanny, isn't it?
I heard Jesus was into S&M.

If this is from New Zealand then sheep must be involved.
Even god has nothing to say after.
If we're all God's children, isn't this more than a bit creepy?
it really didn't occur to me that God Doesn't follow ANY of his own rules including boning his Married teenage daughter Mary, Of course God made the mashed potatoes so he has the right to put his Dick in them.
In "Joseph, Mary and Oh God, Yes!" a shy carpenter (Josh Charles) and his worldly jock friend God (Stephen Baldwin) are forced by economic circumstances to take in a new roommate, Mary (Lara Flynn Boyle), a local nun. The trio become good friends, each trying to seduce the other, and eventually agree to have a threesome.
In "Joseph, Mary and Oh God, Yes! II: Jesus! I'm Pregnant!" Joseph, God and Mary are forced to deal with the aftermath of a wild threesome which ultimately destroys their friendship after Mary becomes pregnant.
In "Joseph, Mary and Oh God, Yes! III: Christ Almighty!" after word of their shameful secret liaison leaks out, Joseph, God and Mary reluctantly agree to team up just one more time... for a very good cause; to raise enough money to pay back property taxes on their Cook County, IL schoolhouse and to create a new religion that just might rescue their reputations.

Fantastic.
Mission from God indeed. + a kazilion
Jesus wasn't the only one sitting on the right hand of God.
(also, something something second coming)
The real miracle is that people can get so worked up over a god who is only 2,800 years old. Monotheism kills.

Holy Sonnet XIV
Batter my heart, three person'd God; for, you
As yet but knocke, breathe, shine, and seeke to mend;
That I may rise, and stand, o'erthrow mee,'and bend
Your force, to breake, blowe, burn and make me new.
I, like an usurpt towne, to'another due,
Labour to'admit you, but Oh, to no end,
Reason your viceroy in mee, mee should defend,
But is captiv'd, and proves weake or untrue.
Yet dearely'I love you,'and would be loved faine,
But am betroth'd unto your enemie:
Divorce mee,'untie, or breake that knot againe;
Take mee to you, imprison mee, for I
Except you'enthrall mee, never shall be free,
Nor ever chast, except you ravish mee.
-John Donne

The urgent question about God remains whether he can create a rock that he can't lift.
Excuse me, He, in both instances.
The parting of the Red sea? The great Whore of Babylon?
The mind boggles.
I have honestly never pictured Mary with Manic-Panicked Lily Munster hair...until now.
...or wait...is that blue thing some kind of shawl? Even worse.
It's a Tom Ford shawl.
I'm gonna get even.
I can't handle the shame.
The last time we made love,
she called out His name.
She Left Me for Jesus. . .
