The religious implications of this 14-minute clip are astounding.

Christianity is a load of bollocks.

Wait, what is the rhyming slang for charioteer? Something queer.

[nikobrown1990]

i always thought (correctly as i have just looked it up) that the "stem of Jesse" referred to Mary as well as Joseph (i.e. both Mary and Joseph descended from King David - which is mathematically certain anyway, in the same way that ALL modern Europeans are descended from the Emperor Charlemagne, as was covered in a previous episode of QI.). The way i always understood it was that Luke made an error in his writing and the census he is referring to is the Tax Census of Quirinius (27BC-14AD)

What rhymes with ginger and means gay? *confused*

[KurtAmbrose051]

@woodyelf1 Seems legit

[woodyelf1]

@Dan7Bow Sorry man I would have added them the first time round. I'm a history major so I should them but I didn't really give a shit at that time.

[Dan7Bow]

@woodyelf1 Source! It's quite interesting.

I'm sorry but this is bullshit. It was only somewhere in the 3rd or 4th century AD that the law changed and people didn't have to return to their birthplaces for the census. There are documents and inscriptions that depict this

@thegummybearmonster And QI is dedicated to logic and facts. Facts can be proven, by experimentation, documentation, equations. Evolution and genetics, while seemingly complicated, are provable and testable down to their very atoms. If faith is belief in the impossible being possible, or Jesus's birth was supernatural, those things by definition are not the same as facts. They inhabit separate spheres (more apples and mushrooms than apples and oranges); don't conflate them.

@thefinalflower No, it is not being a dolt that does that.

[Protean213]

@thegummybearmonster Of course, now, imagine what they could have accomplished if they didnt have God filling the gaps in their knowledge and/or been persecuted throughout their lives by the church/religious. (Recheck your facts on Einstein)

[xoShadyJayxo]

I'd probably read the Bible if it had more of Jesus scaring off dragons.
