    Ironic beard, refusal to follow the mainstream, ranting about commercialisation, vague liberal statements, and now, being born before it was cool.

    Jesus Christ: the original hipster.

    Benny's cacking it about the Mayans. He reckons if he says it enough, it will become true, what with him being infallible and all that. Benny, grow a pair. What's that? Oh, sorry, right, ah sure he can swing them round his jocks if he has no other use for them.

    I know what this is really all about, he's just feeling old now. I mean he'll soon be 2013:eek:
    You see it with people all the time getting worried about turning 30, 40, 50...whatever.
    You just have to remember age is a number.

    But I think this is also where the saying "Jesus you're old" comes from.





    Christians in particular are taught in the bible not to be superstitious, yet the amount of practicing Christians that are is odd. They seem more prone to superstitions than a non religious person imo. Touch Wood....sexy :oideka

    I'm sure the OP being one of Jesus's testicles & all could shed a bit more light on the situation.

    She would have been about 500 when he was around; and to be frank, at that age beggars can't be choosers.

    But why is this even newsworthy? It's been common knowledge for ages now that Herod died a few years BC by the Gregorian calendar. I suppose pope Ben's concession to mere facts is somehow notable. :confused:

    The world doesn't revolve around Christianity. We won't be changing the calendar for them.

    Oh FFS. The calendar is Christian, based on the birth of Jesus even if off by a few years - so we would have to change the Calendar to not base it on Christianity.

    Which is apparently a Mayan calendar first written on the horny bollocks of an antelope by the Vikings.

    He wasn't even born on the 25/12 it was just a roman holiday.

    In the bible it says farmers were tending there new born lambs. Therefore it was spring.

    This pope hardly ever speaks and when he does this is the relevant **** he comes out with. Replace him with a pope that is more liberal
