Obviously an authoritative source.

Did you read that Saudi Arabia is crucifying a guy today??? Actual state run crucifiction for three days and then they chop his head off.

Anyone notice the TV in the background was showing Christian images?

This guy is a nut job that has read too much Dan Brown.

I'd like to laugh my ass off at him, but it's not all that funny when you think about it. You know some Iranian fucktard (or a bunch of them) is gonna take this guy seriously....

I thought our dogs and cats were substitutes for children.

I don't know that it's a Christian thing, but lots of spinster American women clearly raise animals as substitutes for people (children or husbands).

I wonder if the guy would have apoplexy to see all the sexy arab girl banner ads that surround this on your page, Amy...

it amuses me greatly...

OTOH, the guy knows his audience, and this is to maintain them...

Can't watch it right now, but in the early 1980s, I read in a sex manual for teens that church steeples just MIGHT be a modification of early phallus worship, just as the Christmas tree was a modification of the Vikings' tree worship(?).

I don't even want to know what this guy sees when he looks at a goat...

Or sheep.

Muslim countries: Where men are men and sheep run scared.

Regarding my previous post, here's one source (search on "phallus" or "phallic")

http://www.hebroots.org/hebrootsarchive/9711/971118_h.html

And, from the 1978 Eleanor Hamilton book I mentioned:

"I am told that the earliest churches were built in the shape of a phallus (penis) and that, try as they would, the Jewish and later the Christian architects could not persuade the more primitive peoples to give up their penis-shaped places of worship; so the architects compromised by putting pointed steeples on top of the penis-shaped towers, and this is the origin of steeples. This story may or may not be true, but perhaps it may serve to get you thinking about the penis as...."

(I can't find the whole quotation.)

Probably because the quote applies to literature and not church doctrine.

And besides, what church official would want THAT news to get out?

Which is not to say that the same officials are shy about virginity fetishism to a most unhealthy degree. As Christopher Hitchens pointed out in his book, there are MANY pre-Christian stories of virgins giving birth, the idea being that sex is somehow sinful for a woman even when she's married. (Though I don't know where he got the idea that Maia was a virgin when she had Zeus' son Hermes.)
