We are in charge of our own destiny.

It has always bugged me that we celebrate a rapist at Christmas by paying homage to him and his illegitimately and illegally conceived son.

I mean, if the gospels are gospel then God - or one of his emissaries, at his bidding - had sex with a young virgin, without her knowledge or permission and compounded the issue by getting her pregnant and then buggering off.

If that isn't to be considered wanton rape and ravish, what other description is there?
