Mother Mary in Playboy

[Joran]

So is someone actually gonna post the whole photo shoot, or what?

[Chen]

friend told me gays were evil and we should hunt them


that friend was jesus.

[Maxxthepenguin]

No, me loving women isn't a sin, me having sex with women without comitment is a sin.

same concept. homosexuality is a sickness.


If all men were gay, we'd be extinct.

If all men were straight..well then, we'd be ok, i guess.

If all men were computer programmers, we wouldn't have any food.

Please excuse my ignorance, but whats wrong with what he said, I'm not seeing it.

It doesn't even have to be about right and wrong, what the pope said is just pretty ridiculous.

Homosexual behavior has been around longer than Catholicism, and it hasn't doomed humanity yet. What is the big threat from it now? The shit isn't spreading, it's not a plague or something. Answer? It's an objectivity bias from the Vatican - as gay lifestyle becomes more accepted, it seems like it's more prevalent. But just because they hear more about gays in the open doesn't mean that there's more gays or that it's somehow becoming a "threat to humanity".

Basically, gay is older than raptor jesus, and the pope's just learning about it and becoming alarmist. It's ridiculous.

Eh, some of the church's [Catholic] philosophies are rather antiquated. Like that one, don't have a sexual relationship (we talkin' hetero) outside of marriage. Fuck that, don't tell me how to live my life, just do noble things, help the folk in need an all the jazz. Same with them gays, let them ride the cocks if they want, if they get AIDS it's their fault, etc.

[Kuya]

Technically, if by gay we mean identity, then it is indeed a very recent thing, as what can be described as coming before that is merely behaviour and no real class consciousness.

Pretty much how i feel. I resent the fact that some think that just because i hold belief i'm automatically a "regligious kook'. I say do what you want. Don't believe? Fine, if it works out good for you then great. Gay? Fine, doesn't effect me. Just means more women out there for me lol. Theres been some images in the pic threads i dont agree with, showing caricatures of jesus doing..things, but i dont get all in an uproar about it. I know i subject myself to that going into the thread. Just adblock and go.

I just think there are, or should be certain boundaries of good taste. Mother Mary is a religious figure, one synonimous with purity. Depicting her in a sexual angle like the cover of playboy is crossing a line, whether you're religious or not. Even if you're the most anti-religious person on earth, you'd have to be pretty fucking dense to not know that that cover would cause an uproar, so why even do it?

Just because I recognize there are people out there that would find the picture offensive, doesn't mean I have to agree with them. I had a friend who laughed uncontrollably through that movie "The Passion of the Christ". I may think its a sad movie, but it doesn't mean he has to agree. Should I chastise him for his complete insensitivity towards the plight of our lord and savior?



Anyways, new topic. Will human males one day die out, and the females will be forced to have lesbian sex in order to reproduce.

Who cares about the Pope's opinion on homosexuality? The thing that angers me is when the Pope tells his congregation to save money during a recession, thus possibly making the recession exponentially worse for all of us.

[Zilong]

Just be glad that's the worst thing a pope can do these days.

I mean what if he tells his congregation to recapture the holy land?

[Joran]

Nah, that's Bush's job. Would hate for him to think that the Pope is pushing in on his territory.

I personally believe you have to be obsessed with religion to see her as the Mother Mary, because as aforementioned, she just looks like a woman with a sheet on her head to me. Maybe if people weren't so determined to find her face on a grilled cheese sandwich, they'd be out there doing more productive things.

It says "te adoramos, maria" on the cover, which means "we love you, mary", and shes covered in a sheet in front of a stained glass window. Now you're just grasping at straws.

[Xno Kappa]

Who gives a fucking shit? People are always going to be offended by anything. Seriously, between grilled cheese sandwiches and rioting over a caricature, who's the real culprit in all this nonsense? The fact I can scribble down some harmless shit and offend people to the point of protest is a pitiful testament to the fantasy of religion.

I hate you so much

[pohibaba]

I hate you so much

Because I'm right so often that everything you thought you believed looks silly now? Yeah, I have that effect on people.

The only thing that looks silly now is me liking libertarian points of view in any way.

[pohibaba]

It's just the first step to me converting you completely.

Hasn't it already been said that the model's real name is Maria? The "we love you" line is extremely common on the covers of magazines featuring women. You can't deny that, but you can pretend it's not true if you insist. And maybe they should stop naming children Maria so things like this don't happen. Really, she's not a dead ringer for the Mother Mary at all. You have to want her to be, and have an extra large helping of butthurt to convince you that she is. Besides:
