Virgin Mary’s surprise pregnancy test in billboard a shocker

Published On Fri Dec 16 2011

St. Matthew-in-the-City, an Anglican church in Auckland, New Zealand, has attracted controversy for this advertisement of the Virgin Mary with a positive pregnancy test.

The Virgin Mary is pregnant and it’s an unpleasant — even shocking — surprise.
At least that’s how she is depicted in a controversial new billboard erected Tuesday by St. Matthew-in-the-City, an Anglican church in Auckland, N.Z.

World News: Virgin Mary

Why would this image get people all riled up?

If I was a so-called virgin and found out I was pregnant, I'd be a little surprised, shocked and upset as well.... I'd at least expect to get one orgasm before I got knocked up.... what a jip.

But I always figured the story of the virgin Mary and Jesus was one big elaborate story to cover up that she cheated on her husband.

They were married, yet she was still a virgin.... obviously something wasn't working in the sack for one of them, and my guess is it was Joseph who was having the problem, so she decided to head out and have a big swinger's gangbang orgy, got knocked up and when her husband found out..... "Oh, an angel came to me one night and told me I was impregnated by the holy spirit and we're to raise this child as the next savior of mankind."

Beats telling the truth and getting stoned to death in a ditch..... yet that one little lie ended up creating the vast religion we all know today which has caused so much crap.

She should have just admitted the truth, got stoned and the world would have been a better place.

I wonder what Jerry Springer would have to say about the above?



Jerry Springer - "Up next we have Joseph.... come on out Joseph...."

*applause*

Jerry Springer - "Hi Joseph, how are you this evening?"

Joseph - "I'm not too bad, yourself?"

Jerry Springer - "Oh, pretty good. So Joseph, you know that you were invited here by your wife Mary, correct?"

Joseph - "Yes."

Jerry Springer - "Did she tell you why?"

Joseph - "No Jerry, she said it was supposed to be a surprise."

Jerry Springer - "Well then I guess we should bring her out and tell you.... Come on out Mary..."

*Booooooooo*

Jerry Springer - "Hi Mary, so, you have something to tell Joseph?"

Mary - "Hi Jerry, tee he he.... yes, I have something to tell Jo.."

Mary - "Jo, do you remember when I told you I was a virgin and God gave us our little boy Jesus?"

*Joseph holds her hand*

Joseph - "Why yes dear, that was the happiest moment of my life."

Mary - "Well, Jo, the thing is.... God never did that. I had a Swinger Gangbang Orgy when you were fixing up Abe's roof...."

*Joseph has a stunned look on his face*

Joseph - "W'wait.... What?! WHO'S THE FATHER THEN???!"

Jerry Springer - "Let's bring him out....."

*Abe walks out to boo's and hisses while holding flowers for Mary*

Joseph - "I KNEW IT! I KNEW JESUS DIDN'T GET THAT WANG FROM ME!!!!"

*Joseph jumps out of chair, picks it up and starts swinging at Abe ~ Abe starts punching back and slapping Joseph in the face with the flowers..... Steve rushes up to break them up*

Audience - "STEVE STEVE STEVE STEVE!!!"

*Everybody is broken up & settle back down*

Jerry Springer - "Ok ok, settle down everybody.... So Joseph, how does this make you feel now that you know?"

Joseph - "I... I don't know Jerry. I thought I loved her and I trusted her.... now I find out she did this and lied to me for all these years? What did I do to deserve this?"

Mary - *tisk* "B*tch please, you couldn't get it up in the sack, youz ain't no man" *snaps fingers and bobs head* "I need a real man to satisfy me, I needed a lot of men and I need to be pleased and treated like a real woman, besides you ain't that big" *gestures with her pinky finger*

Abe - "Yeah, while you're so busy with your carpentry, she's been all by herself and neglected in the bed. She needed a Real Man."

*Joseph jumps back out of chair and starts punching and biting Abe*

JERRY JERRY JERRY JERRY!!!!

What's you opinion of the other numbers which represent different things according to the bible?

3 = God (because of the trinity)
4 = Nature
7 = Perfection (3 + 4, or God + nature)

interestingly enough: 3 x 4 = 12 (God x nature = people)



The Trinity did not come from Judaism nor did Jesus talk of a trinity. It came from Pagaism, polythesic by way of Constantine to Christianity which began monothesic. Jesus denied being God, He admitted to being the Son of but not God. But then are we not all sons and daughters of God?? Unless producing beings out of dirt, is more valid than being born of woman. Everywhere in the Old Testament, in many different ways, One God is mentioned. " No other God, before or after,"" No other God before Me," etc.

the Trinity did not come from Judaism. Nor did Jesus speak of a trinity

And you have used both spellings - I took it as confusion on your part.
This is what I wrote.
There ya go, blaming it on something you do not believe in. Now how can that be?

Again how can that be.

Two different beings.



See Goober, this is how cliffy really isn't any different than mhz or alleywayz. His definition or understanding of "God" is the right one and anyone that believes differently is just plain wrong. He's just as closed minded and intolerant as those he rails against.

What you don't get gerry is that I was just playing with words and messing with Goobers head.

Northern Ontario,
Nice twist, but no. This isn't the first time your "tolerant" mask has slipped.

Ain't Christmas grand...Gerryh....It's when all the descendants of the animal that Mary rode on to Bethlehem come out and poop on forums all over the world..................

How predictable!!

exerpt from the article:-

"The church has said the billboard is intended to provoke debate, a goal that Archdeacon Paul Feheley, principal secretary to the primate of the Anglican Church of Canada, supports."


I would say it served it's purpose.

It's really too bad when unable to come up with a half way decent contribution, the debate is abandoned in favour of personal attacks. Amazing how some rarely seen during reasonable debate dive right in mud slinging.

Retired, the picture isn't a fake. It is a billboard and very real.

Today, would even the most naive adult believe a young, poor female, if she claim to be impregnated by god?? Not very likely!! I don't believe, even the tribal barbarians in the time of Jesus would have either. But hey, that embelishment (my opinion) makes a much better story to pass down. However, it does make a cuckold out of Joseph, doesn't it? Didn't do Mary any favours either, she comes off as rather a loose woman.

It neither makes Joseph a cuckold or Mary a loose woman. Both Mary and Joseph were visited by an Angel, a messenger of God. Elizabeth, John the Baptists Mother, was Mary's cousin and she had told Mary that she would be so blessed.

If you're going to comment on things from the Bible, it would be best for you to actually know what you're talking about rather than just puking all over the thread.


This happens every year at Christmas and at Easter. The Christian haters come out of the word work and do all they can to denigrate 2 of the most important celebrations of Christendom. The Birth and crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ.

How nice that all Mary's relatives supported her according to the biblical story, but offering that as proof along with the visitation of a mythical being (Angel) doesn't really support impregnation by an invisible being. It does prove great imagination. I probably know more about the bible than you do, including the history of how it came to have the form it has today. Personally, I don't really care what you believe. However, I do not accept, quoting an contradictory, unreliable, and impossible piece of fiction as proof of fact.

Because I disagree with someone's belief does not make me a hater of the believer. Actually in the case of the deluded, it is pity not hatred that stirs my emotions. My views are the same at Halloween as they are at any other time of the year. I don't believe in
ghouls, or the walking dead, vampires, fairies, santa or the easter bunny either. I suppose this should stop me, in your opinion, from pointing out discrepancies between these beliefs and fact as well??

Oh and a very Merry Christmas to you. May you enjoy all it's Pagan rituals.

I don't need to offer ANY proof, period. That's where "faith" comes into play.

I also very much doubt your knowledge assertions.

There are no discrepancies between my beliefs in Jesus Christ and God and "facts".

LOL, Like I care whether you "believe" in my assertions or not. I could perhaps post a list of discrepancies with verifying verses if you wish.

It occurs to me how fortunate your "faith" hasn't led you to believe you are a chicken!! .

Fools need proof.

Oh good, then then I can tell you that my bank account is empty and you in particular are instructed by God to donate all monies and chatels to me by tomorrow noon. It says so in my Bible.

You could go right ahead and do that. It would mean nothing to me. What I object to is the denigration, especially around this time of year. Denigration of a faith that non believers really don't have a clue about.

When the church put up the billboard they did it to stimulate conversation and controversy. It would seem that they were successful.
