Bad example, crazy Jesus turned out anything *but* fine.

I know quite a few in real life.

Good parents are good parents. Orientation can be a complication, but so can many other things.

I disagree.

If you compare him to the average of his time and also to his followers, he turned out just fine. In order to lead your own movement you had to be quite a free thinker.

In any case, the suggestion as to the relationship between Yusuf and Senhor o Senhor - one by all accounts clearly heterosexual, the other so far we have evidence asexual - is absurdist. Maybe even Denialist.

Were all carpenters from Jesus's period such notorious flip-floppers?

Just fine != good.

I think flip flopper is quite an improvement over just a carpenter anyway.

If you wish to overthink stuff, then Jesus didn't have two dads. Just one.


[troll mode] Do you mean Joseph didn't love god and that god doesn't love all his children?

Now now, if Jesus was such a U-turner like David Cameron is, then would that make Maggie Thatcher the virgin Mary? :lol:

Vexcalibur -

I should like to think you really can even in troll mode differentiate love1 / love2 / love3 / love4 .... lovex, where love1 is I love1 my wife and lovex is I lovex the Monty Python Cheese Shop sketch.

Joseph loving God and God loving Joseph are loveB and loveA respectively.

Most parents do not look forward to their children being executed by the government in a public display. Such an outcome is not "just fine". So.... I kind of have to agree with M_P.

Let's go off topic. I don't care about Jesus being just fine, and in Jesus' specific case he probably looked for it. But I think that in general, governments executing people are more the fault of governments than the parenting of the people being executed.

... Ok, let us put capital punishment aside and not talk about murderers and rapists. But Jesus was executed for blasphemy. Even now there are middle east countries in which there is a death penalty for that. And I do not personally think that people being executed for blasphemy in those places are usually product of bad parenting, but the complete opposite, few of them were pretending to be a Mesiah or anything like that.

And I strongly disagree with you. The guy was full of delusions. And I'm not even talking about the "God" part.

But if that's your idea of being "fine", then be my guest.

A lot of the people in his generation had tons and tons of dellusions. People in this age still have plenty of them. Besides, if you watch close attention to the bible, in the parts where he actually spoke he never claimed to be the son of god. The most supernatural things seem not to come from his testimony but are made up.

But could we please stop missing the point? The point of the pic is neither to claim that Jesus actually had two dads nor that he turned just fine - It was more of an implication: "If you think Jesus turned out just fine and that he had two dads then stop being a bigot against gay marriage."


Besides, I am shocked that people would rather complain about the just fine part than about the two dads part...
