She certainly had a lot of reason too. Where would we all be then? quot; She was using this statement to prove how horrible an abortion could be. That even the savior of the world was subject to surgical removal. That an abortion was, in essence, the potential wiping out the greatest person to ever die. Unfortunately for her, I suppose, I didn't share here respect for the life of Jesus or the results of his ultimate and untimely death.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">When I turned over this statement in my mind, I considered why Mary would want an abortion and decided she should, by all means have had one, if she had so desired. The, I considered, results of Jesus's life and death and could not fathom one truly good thing accomplished by it. That was not necessarily his fault. I have the feeling that Jesus himself wasn't all that bad, just a little misguided into believing he was the son of a God. What resulted after the fact, however, has turned into the nightmare of Western civilization.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Jesus should have been aborted. To begin with, the story goes that Mary was raped by the Holy Spirit. There was no consent, just a mere warning by the Angel Gabriel. quot;Hey Mary, you've been chosen to get knocked up by a God! Have fun! Got some shepherds to scare, so see ya! And he was gone. Sure enough, the Holy Spirit showed up while she was sleeping (so she couldn't protest) and impregnated her. This was rape and it was wrong. She was violated and had every right to choose to suffer less for what was done to her.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">One must also consider Mary's personal situation. She was an unwed mother of 14 living in a society where women who lost their virginity outside of marriage were stoned to death. Even the staunchest of pro-life activists will often concede that abortion should be allowed when the mother's life is at risk. In Mary's case, it most definitely was. Furthermore, barring the risk of stoning, she had no way to support the child. Women didn't earn money for their labors in those days. Joseph bailed her out of the dilemma, proving himself to be quite an exceptional male considering the times in which he lived. Most men back then would be searching for the largest rock.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So they married but didn't consummate and went to Bethlehem to register for a census. They didn't have adequate health care, so they were forced to birth the child in the filthiest of places, a barn. Needless to say, Mary's life was once again at risk here, and considering that, theoretically, she was still a virgin, the pain involved in childbirth must have been doubled. ouch! She should have died, but must have been some sort of wonder woman amazon to survive the whole ordeal.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Besides the fact the child compromised Mary's life in every way, there is another reason May should have considered an abortion. She knew, as did every other good hebrew person at the time, that the Messiah was destined to suffer horribly-- to be sacrificed like a fuzzy little lamb. Gabriel informed her, prior to rape, of just whom she was going to be pregnant with. Seeing how she was most certainly familiar enough with the Scriptures, she easily could have figured out just how this future life would end. it is imperative to ask the question whether it is indeed moral to bring a fetus to term. giving life to a child whose entire purpose in life is to be sentenced to die at the whim of a hysterical mob.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It seems almost malicious to bring into the world a person who can know no joy of living, who will be tortured, humiliated, beaten, then executed in the most inhumane way ever invented by mankind. She could have spared herself and her child heaps of misery if she had decided to end theses possibilities during the fetal phases of development.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">But what does all this matter now? Today Mary's trials and tribulations seem small and insignificant to us. However, one can't deny that the life and death of Jesus weighs heavily on our history and our modern society. Scanning the records of the ages since his death, there stands an overwhelming pattern that is rather difficult to overlook. Jesus followers have, in his name, raped, pillaged, murdered, tortured, and destroyed nations and people up to this very day.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Yesterday there were religious wars waged against Muslims, Protestants, Catholics, and presumed witches--the Spanish Inquisition the Protestant Reformation, the Crusades, the numerous witch trials to name a few. It continues today with the harassment and murders of doctors who perform abortions. It will not stop there. History is proof of that.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I don't believe Jesus would have advocated all this evil, but because he existed, it happened. It's almost impossible, now, to imagine a world without a New Testament, but stretching as deep into my imagination as I can, I can pretty easily assume it couldn't have been much worse. If Mary had simply chosen and abortion, infinite amounts of suffering could have been alleviated. She didn't make that choice. I'm not even entirely sure that abortions were possible 2,000 years ago, but if they were, she would have been totally justified in pursuing one.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I do know and am happy to say that abortion is still an option for most women in the world today, but that right is being threatened daily. Choosing Jesus, patron saint of the pro- life movement, as a case study is an extreme example, meant to take a stab back at the pro-lifers who are attempting, as I write, to strip me of my personal rights and freedoms as a woman--to send me back to Mary's time when there were no choices. Obviously, there are times when it is good to carry a child to term. There are other situations when it is better to have an abortion, for yourself, for the fetus that will one day bear the burden of life, and perhaps for all humanity, as was the case with Mary.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">[Source: Jesus Should Have Been Aborted, by Jenn Shreve]</div></div>

Simon, also known as Peter, or Rocky to his mates, sales manager of a small collective of preachers and miracle workers, said their founder and chief executive Jesus had been behaving increasingly irrationally recently and yesterday had abandoned the group during a breakout session in the Garden of Gethsemane.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">‘Then he turns up for work this morning carrying a ten foot wooden cross on his back,’ said Peter (or Simon). ‘I said no way you’re wearing that on your rounds, you’ll scare the punters to death. You look like a common criminal, and you can’t even carry it without the assistance of your Arimathean helper, which effectively classes you as disabled. I’m all for the disabled, even healing them when the occasion demands it, but there’s a limit to the red tape a small organisation can handle.’</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Simon or Peter then explained that the tape in question had originally been white but was soaked in blood coming from the crown of thorns Jesus was wearing. ‘Not only did this introduce serious hygiene issues, but you have to put restrictions on headgear, or else people will think they can wear anything. The Gauls wouldn’t tolerate it, I can tell you.</span><br /><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">‘Then he started telling us to imagine we were drinking his blood next time we opened a bottle of wine at dinner. I told him he had no God-given right to say things like that round here; it could stigmatise us all. After a short disciplinary tribunal, chaired by Mr Iscariot, our HR director, we handed him over to a passing Roman soldier.’</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On the way to Calvary, Jesus explained to the soldier that while he felt he was being hung out to dry, he expected to return from the dead afterwards, unlike BP’s Tony Hayward, and he wouldn’t be appealing to the Governor. He said it would be a waste of time, as Pontius ‘Automatic’ Pilate was renowned for washing his hands of responsibility and never overriding a decision. ‘Anyway, it was a nailed-on suspension,’ said Jesus, as they arrived. The soldier duly obliged.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">[Source: <a href="http://www.newsbiscuit.com/2011/04/21/jesus-suspended-for-wearing-cross-at-work/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">NewsBiscuit</a>]</span></div>

Many industry insiders believe that the performer’s best days are behind him, but despite no indication of when we might hear some new material from Christianity’s No.1 artist, die-hard fans are still keeping the faith. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">‘When he first appeared it was like he came out of nowhere,’ said Garth Chivers, editor of trend-setting weekly, the New Theological Express. ‘He was young and fresh, really of the moment, and he took things in an exciting new direction. There’s no doubting the lasting influence of his seminal early work – it’s just that the scene has moved on and those saviour stylings just sound so old skool now.’</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">‘It’s never easy following up a classic debut. Just look how things turned out for The Stone Roses,’ said Ellie Carl, chief writer for respected industry organ, Me and My Maker. ‘You’ve got to strike that difficult balance between giving the old fans more of what made you famous, while taking things on artistically and appealing to the younger demographic who weren’t there the first time round. These days the industry simply demands that kind of regular reincarnation. Still, I’d be amazed if his management dropped him.’</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Industry rumours are that Jesus has been suffering from saviour’s block and struggling to find a new angle on the same old themes of peace and love to all men, but his management insist he is putting the finishing touches to new material with his regular backing group and label-mates, The Disciples. ‘The new stuff will be darker and edgier than his earlier work, reflecting his experiences in the industry. Jesus really feels as if the critics built him up in order to, well, not knock him down exactly, but just leave him dangling there, you know.’</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A spokesman for Christianity last night confirmed that details of Jesus’s comeback ‘This Really Is It’ tour will be announced shortly. It’s thought a promotional DVD, ‘What Jesus Did Next’, is also in the pipeline, with a ‘making of’ documentary that sceptics are really looking forward to, as well as re-issues of his classic Roman Empire tour T-shirt, ‘I’m with the banned’. But despite demand, tickets for his live shows are expected to be extremely limited, with bouncers at venues given clear instructions only to issue ‘Access All Areas’ passes to those whose names are on the guest-list.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">[Source: <a href="http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.newsbiscuit.com%2F2010%2F03%2F05%2Fjesus-still-working-on-%25E2%2580%2598difficult%25E2%2580%2599-second-coming%2F&h=YAQEC9H7E&s=1" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">NewsBiscuit</a>]</span></div>
