Jesus had a brother? How did this work? Was he a half brother or did the big G knock up Mary twice? And if G did, how come this guy doesn't get any credit. he is the son of god too. And if Jesus had a half brother, how come this isnt more scandalous? Shouldn't thou art only have kids with one man slash higher being? This seems kind of clintonian

I think it's chickenpox. I only flipped past the show the other night, so I'm not sure. She has awful white stuff (medicine or calomine or something) on the bumps that are all over her face. Not a very glamorous foray into Reality tv.

Surf Girls is on at 10:30 (9:30 Central) on either Mondays or Tuesdays. It follows either the Real World or Road Rules (not sure which). Or you can just wait until you are sitting home some weekend and a marathon will come on.

I like Surf Girls, but I haven't watched it enough to keep any of the blond chicks straight. There are like 10 girls who all look the same. I like the Hawaiian girl who has some sort of pox right now and is quarantined.

Some of the girls are quite attractive. But, jesus, none of them have got a rack that you could hang your hat on. I've seen a lot of men that are more busty.

Somebody call the plastic surgeon.

Jesus had lots of brothers and sisters, although I suppose technically "half" siblings because his was the only immaculate conception of the bunch. That Mary was a slut.

This is one of the things that bugs me about fake boobs. They seem to have eclipsed the beautiful god given body in terms of ideal. ITs no longer enough to be 18 fit and tan. Now you need a pair of flotation devices sewn into your body to be truly hot. I might as well give up the battle and get mine done.

Slate has an article about lap dancing that includes photographs of strippers. A few of them have the most absurb looking fake boobs. I hope that women who pay a lot of dough for their fakes get more realistic results.

Hey -- did you live in my house or something?

(Actually, ours was more of a "gold" color; not exactly orange -- as in Halloween orange, anyway.)


Ahhhh, the 70's... What were we thinking?!?

I'll resist the urge to quote from Monty Python's "Life of Brian."

The theory is that Jesus had half brothers -- that St. Joseph and Mary had a few regular kids. This theory is based upon some passages in the New Testament mentioning, well, Jesus having brothers.

The Church (I am a lapsed Catholic, so I am only speaking for the Pope here, but I am pretty sure that all of the folks who left after Luther nailed the paper to the door agree with him on this one) takes the position that Jesus was an only child, and that the whole "brother" thing is simply a difference in word usage.

Catholic doctrine goes even further than most other Christians on this issue, of course, by the whole Mary being a Virgin her whole life and her being conceived without the stain of Original Sin thingy (a/k/a the Doctrine of Immaculate Conception).

Hmmm. Looks like that "impress chicks easily -- be like Atticus Grinch!" video I bought from the back of the Marvel Comic book has more than paid for itself!

The Gospels use the term "brother of Jesus" to describe various people, including James (who's getting a lot of attention these days for other reasons, the ossuary being only the most recent).

The Catholics say Mary is "ever virgin" (i.e., she remained so until she was assumed bodily into heaven, thereby avoiding death as a reward for her obedience to God). The term "brother" in the Gospels is, according to the Catholics, from an Aramaic term that supposedly did not distinguish between brothers and cousins. Thus (according to this view), "brother of Jesus" means cousin of Jesus.

The Protestants say that it's not theologically necessary that Mary was "ever virgin," and that she and Joseph had natural children after Jesus. According to this view, brother means brother, period.

Timmy note (sorry, Abba): The Immaculate Conception does not refer to the conception of Jesus. It refers to the conception of Mary by St. Anne without original sin, though in the usual manner. It is a Catholic-only doctrine, its feast day is celebrated only by Catholics, and it's the most widely misunderstood Christian doctrine held by professed Christians, including Catholics themselves. Rant over.

FWIW, there are lots of us out here who don't consider Busty LeChest to be the ideal picture of feminine beauty.

(Women with huge chests can't hardly paddle, and, in a swimming race, might as well strap on sea anchors.)

Good god. The first set wasnt too bad but for the rEdiculous tan lines. Someone get her some neutrogena fake tan spray fast. The other two sets- one were orange! and the other looked taped on, and not angled well, as they were pointing skyward. Her poor babies, if she were to have any, could never reach.

Thank you. I feel better.

I am Lutheran (if I were Catholic, I couldn't exist as a PK) and am fairly certain that Lutherans believe that Jesus had siblings. Here are some biblical references, found from a google search.

Matthew 13: 54-56-- "Where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works? Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? And are not all his sisters with us?"

Mark also states that Jesus had four brothers and two sisters, which suggests actual siblings as opposed to some other concept of brother.

I am no theologian though.

Edited to add that it is common knowledge that Mary was a slut.

I'm a heathen and when I was little I had friends who went to Immaculate Conception school. I knew what immaculate meant because my mother always used to tell us that she wanted our bedrooms to be immaculate. I asked her once (out of context) what conception meant and she said it meant "an idea". So I thought that Immaculate Conception school was the school of tidy ideas. I went there once and was upset that some of the classrooms were messy.

Not at all. After all, imitation is merely the sincerest form of plagiarism. Or something like that.
