It reads "Poor Joseph, God was a hard act to follow." This really creepy billboard was actually put up by a church in New Zealand. "Church vicar Archdeacon Glynn Cardy said the sign was intended to challenge stereotypes about the way Jesus was conceived and get people talking about the Christmas story, but not everyone has taken it that way." No shit, Sherlock.*
I have my own theories about how Jesus was concieved, but, Mary having multiples with a well hung god is not one of them. Yuk, this is so vile. Joseph actually always sounded like a helluva nice guy to me. He married Mary and let's face it, she was used goods. Her fault or not (probably not) but, she was and that was a big no no back then. And he raised Jesus like his own, and everyone claims he wasn't. Joseph is no one to fuck with. Shame on them, doesn't that church have better things to spend donations on then debating weather Joseph or god was a better fuck? Lewd.

Terrible! What in the world is this guy thinking? Mary probably wasn't a blonde (at least that's what she looks like from the picture on my computer) and Joseph was what we'd consider these days a totally stand-up guy. Can you imagine if, as a 16-17 year old girl, you'd have told your boyfriend what Mary had to tell Joseph? Wonder what the reaction would've been from him, his family, your family, society?
This is hilarious! Stir up some controversy and get people talking about the church - good job.
The conception of Jesus was immaculate - meaning in absence of sexual intercourse. So the commentary on "God was a hard act to follow." is a little less "gross" when you think about there was no intercourse between Mary and God.
The sign to me is that God was everything without being man - even in the most pleasurable human act. Too philosophical?
Wow! I don't think I have ever seen anything so tacky or in poor taste! Even from a Pagan or an atheists.
Thank God my seven year old didn't walk by that sign he reads everything. Sense he can. I think I would have had to claim I didn't understand it either and "let's go ask the minister" though I really don't want my kid subjected the dumb ministers answer either.
Pagan's have no beef with Jesus. We just don't care to walk with him.
How big a dick does God have anyway? I mean, He's God, so I guess He can give Himself any size dick He wants. And He can change dick-size at will too. For Mary, He probably went with the regular-size, not wanting to rip her. If He were fucking, for example, Madonna, He would probably go with the massive Wilt Chamberlain-sized model. When He's ass-fucking the Pope, He probably goes with the ivory strap-on, which is easily washed.
Crabbie,
You're so bad you're EXCELLENT!
As a souless atheist and evil, godless monster with a big garage, (according to the trolls) I can say, that while not in the best of taste, it did get a chuckle out of me.
Crabbie got the full on giggle though! I may just be developing a cyber-crush on that man! *wink*
Like I said at Crabbie's, I think I'm going to hell. It's wrong in so many levels but it made me laugh.
Now we know what crabbie really thinks about. Thanks for that visual. Gawd.
Meissa if the Hell place really turns out to exist and we end up there we'll be buds and hang...
Nina and Meissa - I'll be there too since I am a non-believer.
Crabbie - lmfao!
I saw this earlier today. I didn't even get that they were comparing them in the sack. I just took it like Joseph wouldn't touch her after God did. I am not too quick. It's just ridic. If I was Catholic I wouldn't like that much. The lefties will love it tho. I personally don't care what a church vicar does. Because when he's not making porno billboards he's looking at porn for ideas!!! No doubt! Never trust a preacher. Nope. ALL pervs.
Rox
Crabbie!!!! OMFG!!! Exactly. Oh my "fucking" God.
Good one. hahahahaha
Nina, if it does exist. I will be there too. We can all get tans & flirt with the red horny guy.
rox
Awesome ROX! Party South of the border!
South of the border? Missouri?
Heather from PNW-I'm sorry for being pedantic but 12 years of Catholic school will do it to you. The immaculate conception refers to Mary being born without the stain of original sin. You are referring to the virgin birth. It's a common misconception (pun intended). I'm definitely a lapsed Catholic & I'm not sure if I think this is funny or offensive. Not offensive to me personally but I would be up in arms if someone made fun of gays, blacks or jews in a similar fashion.
Joseph looks so defeated and sad in that billboard. Poor Joseph. I'm not religious but I think that billboard is just tacky.
Hey Noelle...there's that famous Christian love! "Even from a pagan or atheists". What a bunch of bullshit. Good attitude to have when you post on a blog where most of the posters are pagans or atheists.
Wouldn't touch this one with a 10 foot Yule log...
anon 8:54...You think you are sneaky but are just a dumb troll. One of the great things about this site is that we are all tolerant, open minded folk who don't make snarky comments about each other's posts.
Rox - if it's any consolation: I had the same 'ahh' moment once I read the commentns here. I flatter myself to think that it's not due to being slow, but simply more filth-filtered of mind.
My story and I will stick to it.
As a catholic myself this doesn't offend me. I believe what I believe and that's good enough for me and its nobody else's business. But I had to admit I laughed at it. Because its so wrong and stupid and tacky as the people who created it and really, what am I supposed to do? its already out there and the world saw it. It looks like something that came out of Family Guy. I've seen far worse in that show actually.
8:54:00 PM..news flash, Noelle (and her hubby) and I have been real life friends for decades. She is not a bigot, her sentance just came out wrong because she's probably busy. Unlike you, who has nothing to do but act like an idiot on a blog where you aren't wanted. Go back to your shit hole.
Silvia, good to know.
I have a new favourite Christmas carol. Here's a link to the lyrics
http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/j/jessie_farrell/christmas_at_my_house.html
It will especially appeal to women. Maybe it's been around a long time? I just heard for the first time today.
Silvia - yes, Virgin Birth, yes - thanks for that. And hopefully I did not offend you! But, it was without intercourse, wasn't it? Didn't one of his angels appear to her? I was raised Anglican (parochial school), so bible is more literature than scripture in my upbringing. Which I definitely abandoned upon adulthood!
Meissa you are right, they have had way, way worse on Family Guy and the like. I have a pretty sick sense of humour so I also don't get offended too easily.
I did read an interview over at Huffpost and it explains that the idea behind was to create controversy. Worked for us - we are discussing aspects of Catholicism I never understood before! *wink to Silvia*
I haven't read all the responses yet, but I have to interject something.
The Immaculate Conception refers to the conception of Mary. At the moment her soul was conceived, she was granted freedom from original sin. It was not washed away from her as in a Baptism. It was just never there. This made her a pure being to carry the son of God. It doesn't have any reference to sex or how she was physically created by her parents.
I know that many here do not believe in the teachings of the catholic church, but I just had to correct a misconception (no pun intended). I hope I didn't offend anyone by clarifying this.

Christina, that's what I thought. But, I am such a heathen..lol ..thanks.
Nattie, I can't get that link. Is there a vid?
That was beyond AWESOME.
I've got no clue what to say about that,so I'll just mosey on.
I thought it was something to do with being a step-parent and how hard it is to do, especially when the child won't accept you or thinks the other parent is perfect.
I thought that was the lesson.
Interesting to see I am in the vast minority!
WOW religion just makes me laugh more and more everyday. that is just..awesome lol WHO does things like that?!
Well since Mary was only 12 at the time of her "immaculate" conception God is a pedofile and should be in jail. I could imagine that God (in theory if he was actually there) would be a hard act to follow. I keep thinking of Bruce Almighty where she is having orgasms in the bathroom before he even touches her.
Where did you get 12? Always have read from 14 to 17. Still young but I guess normal for that era. Guess teens have always been having sex. Wish the conservatives would get that when setting up sex ed.
