Xander/Buffy ,'Help'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
"Go forth and multiply" was a post-Flood thing, so I think it still works for them.
It's been ages since confirmation class, but IIRC, there are very specific rules in the Torah about how often married Jews are required to have sex, depending on what tribe you're from.

My understanding is that there is a lot of stuff in DVC that's pretty much only from HBatHG, which had a good number of ideas exclusive to it
We were just talking about this at work -- even if there's stuff in DVC that's *only* and provably from HBatHG, you can't copyright an idea, so I'm not sure where the teeth are in the lawsuit. Except that it's conveniently timed to coincide with the movie coming out.
I wonder if the attention to HBatHG will generate enough renewed sales to cover their legal costs.

This suit is being brought in the UK, isn't it? I've heard that libel laws are more weighted there in favor of the plaintiff and against the folks who actually write and publish the questionable stuff (as, per example, Hitler apologist David Irving being able to sue Deborah Eisenstadt and her UK publisher for libel -- a case he lost, but which the experts I read said wouldn't even have made it to court in the US), so possibly that's also so for copywright infringement/intellectual property and other writerly legal issues?

Back to Mary and Joseph and Catholic tradition and sex, that's why Joseph got changed to an old man who was (I guess) merely looking for someone to take care of him, plus he was so awed by being the Son of God's step-dad that he only ever treated Mary with absolute respect and restraint. In return, Saint Joseph is now patron saint of families and being a good dad.
I've finished my book on the New Testament and am starting "Guns, Germs & Steel" (for the comma-philes, there's a comma after Germs, but I'm a comma heretic and don't like serial commas).
I think I'll wait till I know my new co-workers better before I take "Reclaiming the Gay-Lesbian Past" to work.
How does Mary staying a virgin after His birth make Jesus any more Jesus-y?
I'd imagine for the same reason Mary's conception got made immaculate -- if she's sin-free enough to bear Jesus, she's sin-free enough to stay that way. In other words, get the sex as far away from Jesus as possible.
Don't fuck with the Jesus?
