Joseph and Mary in Bed Poster Causes Stir

Yeah, you read that right. It is a poster depicting Mary and Joseph in bed.

On the billboard - painted to mimic the fresco style commonly used in church murals - Mary and Joseph are in bed side-by-side. Joseph is looking down. Mary, looking heavenward, appears sad. The caption reads: "Poor Joseph. God is a hard act to follow."

Now who do you think put something like this up for everyone to see? Atheists? Pagans? Satanists? No. It was put up by a church in New Zealand. A CHURCH.

Church vicar Archdeacon Glynn Cardy said the billboard was intended to challenge stereotypes about the way Jesus was conceived and get people talking about the Christmas story. 

"This billboard is trying to lampoon and ridicule the very literal idea that God is a male and somehow this male God impregnated Mary," said Cardy, who described his church as having very liberal ideas about Christianity.

Liberal? I think this is more than your garden variety liberalism. It is far worse than that, I think. In my opinion, this church is more than likely full of false converts and has no business calling themselves Christians at all. They are definitely not being fed the Gospel of Jesus Christ or they wouldn't dare commit this blasphemy. This is pure unadulterated sacrilege.

No, instead they might as well just say they are a group of people who gather in what appears to be a church, but they do not in any way, shape or form follow Jesus Christ or believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God. Oh wait, there is already a word for that ... HEATHEN.
