An English friend once told me about a big billboard that a church had erected beside a bus stop in Oxford. It read: "Where will you be spending eternity?"
Someone had scrawled a reply on it: "Here, most likely, waiting for a bleeding bus!"
Another good one I saw a few years ago was in a Finnish city where every other advertising column had a poster saying "Jesus is coming" and every other an ad for a well-known brand of condoms saying: "Be prepared, wear a Sultan!"![]()

Archdeacon Cardy said the true importance of Christmas "is in the radical hospitality Jesus offered to
the poor
the despised
women
children
and the sick
and says: 'this is the essence of God. His death was a consequence of the offensive nature of that hospitality and his resurrection a symbolic vindication". The archdeacon said St Matthew-in-the-City was at the progressive end of the Christian continuum, and that he believed God was "more like a force but not a being in any sense".
Coincidentally or no, all the groups mentioned above came under attack in the recent Budget devised by economists for politicians.
I watched with glee, while your kings and queens, fought for ten decades for the gods they made.

With respect, that does not answer my question.
The question of the virgin birth or Mary's virginity is not a political one. It is a purely theological/scriptural one. This is a political website. It should stick to political matters and not engage in religious bigotry.
oh just wait till the aethiests roll into the arguement and start banging on about that if god did exist he's basically a dirty paedophile that knocked up a 16yr old and then buggered off till the kid was 30 !
they'd demand he be strung up for statutory rape and a couple of decades worth of maintenance .
