Tempted by the fruit of amother...[edit]

look, with all teh ugliness going on here lately, I'm not going to get in a pissing match about this, but any historian would tell you that soldiers and local girls are not just "tempted" ho have sexual relations, they have them - sometimes consensually for mutual benefit, sometimes as a result of coercion - but they have them...PFoster 14:51, 18 February 2008 (EST)

Okay, so that last edit summary is either totally Freudian or I need a coffee...PFoster 14:52, 18 February 2008 (EST)

You forgot the local boys. By the way, wouldn't Straight to Hell have been a good edit summary? Oh, and Squeeze is now mentioned in two places on this wiki. Should we make them our honorary house band for a day? humanUser talk:Human 14:54, 18 February 2008 (EST)
I fuckin' love Squeeze. And I ain't saying the fact soldiers made it with local girls= Pantera was the Jesus' Baby Daddy. i'm just saying that you can pretty much rest assured Roman soldiers were gettin' some whilst stationed in Mary's corner of the world...PFoster 14:56, 18 February 2008 (EST)

Where are the daytime talk shows and their paternity tests when you need them? --Edgerunner76 Buddy christ.jpg 15:22, 18 February 2008 (EST)

I saw Squeeze in about '92 over to the local University. Tilbrook works his ass off. humanUser talk:Human 15:42, 18 February 2008 (EST)

AFD?[edit]

Very nice article perhaps, but I'd suggest to move this to [[Fun:Pantera]] - regardless of religious or atheist views, I don't know if this article is up to the high quality standard RW strives for. Editor at RWwas rooting for HD DVD 15:13, 18 February 2008 (EST)

what are these "high standard" of which you speak? PFoster 15:18, 18 February 2008 (EST)

There is a reason if we are here and not on CP, Uncyclopedia or Wikipedia, isn't there? Editor at RWwas rooting for HD DVD 15:21, 18 February 2008 (EST)
The only case for moving this to Fun is the stupid band stuff. Lets drop the bands and make this the serious article which it deserves to be. Jollyfish.gifGenghis Marauding 15:24, 18 February 2008 (EST)
Alien abduction is not? Editor at RWwas rooting for HD DVD 15:28, 18 February 2008 (EST)
As far as it relates to issues of biblical literalism, I see it as fine in the mainspace. But since it is also a little far-fetched, I think the weird stuff (aliens, bands, etc.) makes it more entertaining. humanUser talk:Human 15:43, 18 February 2008 (EST)
Well I think the bands are more of a disambiguation and diversion. Debunking of BibLit is sometimes harmed by the fun stuff. But hey I'm just one bigoted loudmouth so WTF? Jollyfish.gifGenghis Marauding 15:48, 18 February 2008 (EST)
I threw in the bit about alien abduction because I was trying to highlight how wildly speculative and effing absurd the entire article subject was. --Star of David.png Radioactive afikomen Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments. 15:55, 18 February 2008 (EST)

Conservapedia[edit]

Conservapedia has stuff about a Roman soldier raping Mary on it's Main page now. I got 'Basic Instinct' Director Paul Verhoeven: Jesus Was Son of Mary and Roman Rapist, Wednesday, April 23, 2008 from there. Proxima Centauri 07:58, 26 April 2008 (EDT)

There's the proof: even influential people (Verhoeven) read RW. We should be more responsible when writing articles. ;-) (Editor at) CP:no intelligence allowed 08:16, 26 April 2008 (EDT)

Type of people category[edit]

It's a stretch, but how about "Biblical figures"? ħumanUser talk:Human 16:22, 23 October 2008 (EDT)

I thought of that, too, but... is Pantera actually mentioned in the Bible? If he was mentioned in the Apocrypha, then I could see that category fitting. But if he was just a hypothetical made up by a scholar, then no. I'm at a loss for this, really.

Well, his only "use" is to interact with Biblical characters, I suppose. Or... we could delete it... ħumanUser talk:Human 00:25, 24 October 2008 (EDT)
