Quoting Donahue:
“Here we go again with idle speculation grounded in absolutely nothing. He has no empirical evidence to support his claim” — Sounds a lot like his own religion eh?

Funny coincidence here..
as I recall, one of the more pompous US gay groups thought ‘Basic Instinct’ was a negative role model for lesbians (as someone at the time joked - a dyke with a genius IQ and two Ferraris is a negative role model?!), so they picketed cinemas giving away the twist at the end of the story.
Is Donohue trying to do the same? Not really going to work, is it!
Love his rant about ‘empirical evidence’ and ‘idle speculation’ too. Coming from a godbotherer that’s priceless.

Isn’t this story a very old one? Thomas Hardy’s poem ‘Panthera’ is just one version of the story that a Roman soldier was Jesus’ dad.
And of course there’s the Monty Python take: ‘Your father isn’t Mr Cohen.’ ‘I never thought he was Mum.’
Surely you’d have to be a bit mad to think Jesus really was conceived by magic? Either he was Joseph’s son, and poor old Joe seems to have been deemed a bit (ahem) past it, or he was fathered by another man.
