The Bible says Mary became pregnant when the HS overshadowed her.
I take it that HS means Holy Spirit.
In other words the HS is like God's extension; a super-penis all the way from heaven to impregnate human beings.
Or are we all joking?
Ofcourse It's one big super-joke.

Your post added some excellent points as usual. When Christianity in its beginnings wasn't involving itself in running political/secular matters we see little outward aggression from them. Of course, we all can see how nasty they were when they were holding total political power. But with the separation of Church and State things should get better - theoretically any ways ;).
Islam didn't and still doesn't have the notion of keeping "Church and State" separate. They had the trappings of power very early on, so many people focus on that facet of its history. If Islam could change in that aspect, then people can see how the aggression/violence is mostly due to politics.
Christendom has the Trinity which I find abhorent- Islam has Jihad which is incumbent on all Muslims which I find abhorent
Islam allows you up to 4 wives - I struggle to keep 1 happy never mind 4!!

You find it abhorent that people choose to conceptualise God in whatever way they choose to do so (e.g trinity)?
I find this strangely intolerant, though you are certainly entitled to that opinion

But Muhammad DID say that while a man could have four wives, he could only be fair to one. Or so my Muslim friend told me.

Sorry that is how I feel - I truly find the Trinity an abhorent doctrine but I would die for somebody's right to express otherwise - I am not intolerant - I just find the doctrine abhorent
Kinda like asking which is worse Anthrax or The Plague?
I "hate" (in the full sense of the word) "organized religion", and I think Jesus did too.

Very interesting! Please elaborate. Andy

I'm interested in your choice of words.
Why abhorrent?
I didn't think you gave a flying fig about God, anyhow
