“Merry Christmas,” says Denis. “Tonight we celebrate the birth of the baby Jesus, whose mom, Mary, just happens to be a virgin — even after she apparently gave birth to Jesus.At least that is what the Catholic Church would have you believe.“Tom Cruise is taking a lot of (bleep) for belonging to a religion, Scientology, that believes aliens came to this planet 75 million years ago. That is nothing. I was raised Catholic. We believe Mary was a virgin and Jesus ended up walking on water, creating a bottomless jug of wine and rising from the dead.”
Either of these jokes actually untrue?
Well, there are a couple of factual problems. The Virgin Birth is not simply "what the Catholic Church would have you believe." It's actually in Scripture: Matthew and Luke are accepted as canonical by any number of Christian denominations.
And "the bottomless jug of wine" is cute but not at all the word or intent of John 2.
But whatever you do, do NOT let facts get in the way of your responses.
Are either of those actually jokes?
Aren't jokes supposed to be actually funny or something?
Are either of these jokes untrue?
Well, yeah...the part where he says Mary and Joseph slept together before they were married, meaning Jesus was a bastard, and all of Christendom has been lying about Jesus' parentage from day one.
