Lol, I know this. I was too young and didn’t understand the lyrics, so it was nothing but "param pampampam" to me

But that song sings about the drummer boy who drums for the Jesus because he had no other gift to give

ignotum@lemmy.world · 20 pts · 232d

The drums themselves would've made for a better gift tbh

Joseph: ..... yeah Mary .... immaculate conception ... sure .... I'll be home late ... gotta fill out that census ... still gotta list myself as the "father"

FYI immaculate conception refers to Mary's birth not Jesus'

To be more clear about what they mean, "immaculate conception" refers to Mary being born without original sin and continuing to be free from sin throughout life. This allowed her to be a worthy mother to bring God's child into the world. This is generally only a tenet of Catholic teaching, and most other denominations reject the notion.

The term for a woman becoming pregnant without sex is "spontaneous conception," and it does rarely occur in some animals when they are isolated from males of their species. Though in those situations, the offspring are exclusively female as the female only has X chromosomes to pass on.

2 sperm were swimming along, and one says to the other "How far to the egg yet? We've been swimming for ages!". The other replies "The egg!? Oh. It's not for miles yet. We've only just passed the tonsils."

As per that great old joke, maybe it was just some sperm managed to go a long way.

Which supports the idea that Mary is a reptile and by birth so was jesus, and the whole reptilian conjecture comes into being. (Or amphibian?)

Just see the whole thing from Joseph's POV: Just after the "immaculate conception" three rich dudes with expensive gifts come around...

They're clowning the shit out of him and Jesus who does the drywall inexplicably called out that day

To be fair, at least the gold and perfume were a year later.

n_n reusing a reply I made elsewhere a couple weeks ago:

It’s weirder than that…

If I recall correctly, I heard … Joseph was something like 80, and Mary was something like 12.

That does not get said a lot.

Is fun to dig into the apocryphal sources on that to check for plausibility.
