    First, it is debated whether he was born to a virgin mother and it is certainly not settled. He was born without sin according to Catholics which is known as the immaculate conception. This is WAY above Jorgan’s head.

    A computer is virgin? Where in the fuck does this dunce believe this to be true. It is a nonsensical statement.

    If Jesus did return he would come back as an AI!? Once again where the fuck does he get this from. Can Jesus come back as a couch and would Vance try and fuck him? Inquiring minds want to know Jorgan.

    And then a statement that Jesus could definitely return as AI. I guess this is him trying to convince himself that it could happen. Straight up stupid.

    When did Joe Rogan start podcasting from the engineering set of Star Trek The Original Series?

      I feel like the current iteration of Joe Rogan is from the mirror universe. I remember when he was just a pretty chill stoner comedian who literally told people not to listen to him about science or politics because he doesn’t actually know shit. Like, he used to be self-aware.

    As I recall Jesus was not born to a virgin but rather a young mother. The Greek word used in the Septuagint was initially correctly translated but the Greek word used changed it’s meaning over time to mean virgin. The author of Mark did not understand this change and asserted she was a virgin because he incorrectly believed the promised Messiah in Issac was supposed to be born to a virgin.

    Bart Erman just covered this recently on his “Misquoting Jesus” podcast.

      The author of Mark did not understand this

      Isn’t God the author of the whole Bible? Like isn’t that the point? If you accept it’s written by fallible men, how can you accept anything written at face value?

      The better way to say it is let them believe he was born to a virgin. Which means he got no Y chromosome from a male sperm. So jesus born from two XX chromosomes, was not male, and also not white.

      Erman is a terrible scholar, for one. The other thing is that, for centuries, the Septuagint was used as the Bible. It wasn’t treated like a translation the way we do. It’s that, for a long time, the Bible was Greek. It had been Hebrew, then it was Greek, then around the 600s or so it was Hebrew again. That later Hebrew Bible is called the Masoretic Text and was the one chosen by Protestants for the Old Testament because, in their thinking, the Hebrew was older than the Greek. But they didn’t really consider the fact that the Masoretic Text is over a thousand years newer than the Septuagint (it being a reconstruction of the Hebrew Bible based on re-translating the Greek with the aid of the Samaritan Pentateuch, etc.). So the Septuagint used the Greek term for “virgin” which is the only reading the gospel writers would have known. The Masoretic Text translates the relevant Isaiah passage with a Hebrew word that means “maiden.” And there’s some argument out there that they did so in opposition to the Christian reading of the passage. There’s a really great book about this entitled When God Spoke Greek.

      TL;DR, The “virgin” reading is accurate to the ancient understanding of the Isaiah passage because that was the only one they had at the time. The “maiden” reading is known to us from a Hebrew text that is at least 600 years more recent than the time of Jesus.

    We should rename the Dunning-Kruger Effect to the Joe Rogan Experience.
