Irish-American woman becomes latest Bride Of Christ.

TheLastMohican

Surely by not using one of her God given gifts (orgasm) this fruit cake has clearly got some deep probs between her ears and hips.
I thought that, to forego something - like giving up sweets, drink etc for the love of a deity or reparation for others - one had to like what one was forgoing ...... if you get my drift.

Now, seemingly this paragon of virtue has never had much activity between the navel and knees ....... so how would she know if she liked it or not?

She definitely has a mad look in her eyes ...... nothing that a good seeing to wouldn't sort out.

Does anyone else think that this is strange/neurotic behaviour?

All nuns are brides of Christ. They make the same declarations this woman did of chastity and obedience and lie on a floor to do it. The consider themselves married to god and wear a silver wedding ring.

The old style convent life is dying out anyway - now nuns live in smaller groups, some in convents but they prefer to call them communities now. - the local ones to our house live in a semi-d over the road and wear regular clothes. Like a blue-rinse flatshare.

But has anyone told Jesus yet? Surely he has a say in this.

Nope. He's been dead for 2000 years now.

Hmmm, I don't think the church would recognise it as a valid marriage until it's been consummated...

I think it's sad that she's missing out on one of the best parts of being human. And for what? The magic man in the sky?

That said, she's not hurting anyone. I just feel sad for her.

Yeah, it's so sad. She could be sucking on twenty three lollipops right now.

If she really is a virgin at 38, I think she'd most probably be continuing to miss out on one of the best parts of being human even if she hadn't thrown the sky-man into the mix.

There is the possibility that she has no sexual desire at all. One would hope that was the case, rather than the whole denial thing, for her sake.

Bottom line... Is she Irish or American?

Because I think we should let them have her!

White middle class American woman is her voting demo anyway, Irish American is no longer recognised by political academics. We've assimilated, hurray.

Fair play to her. Looks very hot for a 38 year old.

I love the way everyone is all for freedom of choice, until someone makes a choice they don't understand or approve of.

She's not hurting anyone, it makes her happy and she feels it gives her life depth and meaning. I have no idea how, or why it matters to her, but since I'm not her, that's of no importance.

Leave the woman alone, she doesn't deserve to be ridiculed when all she's doing is living her life the way she feels is right for her.

You might better take it up with posters who denied her the freedom of choice, rather than generalise.

I see no harm and think this is just another snipe at people's beliefs. To each their own.

I thought the case made by the NO side in the Same-sex Marriage Referendum was that: 'marriage is about procreation'. That's why it had to be a man and a woman . . . . . NOT Adam and Steve.

How can this woman and 'Jesus' have children? Immaculate conception?

This woman clearly has mental issues and needs help.

Open your minds people!

Is the Easter Bunny still single? I might suss that out.

Is it okay then if I marry Wonder Woman? I'm pretty sure I would receive a similar response if I went through with the whole service, invited guests and went on a honeymoon.

We wouldn't take a passenger flight, we could take the invisible jet.

All those mocking comments...somehow I don't think they'd be quite as smug if she were a Buddhist nun.

Very true - yet I'd bet some would be OK with/approve of this.

Still though, whatever misgivings I have about the church as an organisation, she wants to do this - she has hardly been forced into something that would be so unthinkable for most of her generation in the western world: chastity and extreme devotion to religion. Despite some thinking 38 is akin to being geriatric

it's a generation that's still fairly with it and were only teenagers in the 90s.

I respect her unwavering independence, and unlike a lot of self-proclaimed catholics/Christians, she truly walks the walk.

My opinion of what she's doing in and of itself is: it's not the healthiest, and a lonely Road. It may be symptom of psychological issues but may not. She has had plenty of time to think it through and consider its ramifications for her life though, and it doesnt really matter what I think: I'm not her. And she is hurting nobody other than maybe herself (maybe) so live and let live imo.

There's more photos and a video of her here (Apologies for Daily Mail link)

Personally, I think she looks a bit masculine, but that wouldn't matter when she's as mad as a bottle of crisps.

I don't understand why she's doing it either. It makes no sense to me. But it's not about me, it's about her and what she wants. If she believes it, then it doesn't matter what you, or I, or WonderWoman think about it all. She's not harming you, or me, or WonderWoman for that matter.

So I'll just let her be and not ridicule her for a choice she believes will enhance her life, because like I said, it's not about me and she's doing what she thinks is right for her. I believe we should all do what we feel is right for ourselves if no one else is hurt, and that includes making decisions I can't fathom. I just don't get the need to pour scorn on her and ridicule her.

Who do you think invited all the media etc into the church? She wants the attention from it and she's getting it, good bad or indifferent.

Nobody has said she shouldn't have the choice to do what she wants to do, but people have the choice to laugh at how ridiculous it is too.

What puzzles me is why is this news? You hardly get an article each time someone decides to become a priest or a nun. And as far as I can see there is f all difference.

I don't know how the media got wind of it. Do you? Not a guess?

They live and work as normal, and aren't given upkeep by the church.

Well considering all the coverage it's getting and the number of interviews she's doing I think I can safely assume she's happy enough for people to hear her story.

I'm pretty sure that unless she specifically wanted them there, then media would not be present during the service, and pictures would not have been published.

People are right to laugh at and ridicule her

Considering the size of America and the lunacy that can happen in any large country, you do have something of a point.

I'm pretty sure they would be...if the buddhist went about publicising it. This woman married her imaginary friend, you've got to admit that's a bit mental.

That's what most people will worry about when they read this story. Of course there's no harm to anyone else. Many of us will see it as indoctrination/ brainwashing taken to the extreme, and not only that, but facilitated by the culprits.

I could easily say that she loks like Ken Doherty in a fancy wig, but that would be childish of me. I could ask whether 'Jesus' had any say in this marriage, and I would be accused of being flippant. How did 'HE' sign the registry form. The questions are many.

We are expected to keep shtum and 'leave well alone', but it's just so easy to expose the lunacy of this carry on. What a massive waste of time that ceremony was. Normally I would assume this was an article from The Onion, but because of the story's religious nature, it's wholly believable.

Let us not forget that there was no shortage of 'followers of christ' voicing their concerns, during the SSM referendum, over the slippery slope fallacy. "If gays can marry, then people will be able to marry their pets" they said. Where do we go from here, where a woman can marry 'Jesus'? Can a woman marry Abraham Lincoln, Socrates, Alan Ladd etc?

There will be plenty of religious hypocrites on here asking reasonable, sane people not to judge. Yet they judge our gay community. Thou art not able to has it both ways.

PucaMama

have to point out suggesting she has mental health issues because shes not sexually available is ridiculous
