"conjured" 'eh?? Last time I looked conjuring up a child took a magic wand and a few tadpoles. There is also the DNA problem since a child gets half of its DNA from each parent. Also if god impregnated Mary without her consent then that makes him a rapeist as well. AFAIK she wasnt praying to get pregnant, so there goes the whole consent thing, so I guess I can see whats left.[/QUOTE]Could you explain the DNA thing a little bit more? Are you saying that Jesus is only half-god?
God HAD Mary's consent. He sent the archangel ahead and had him ask her. She replied that "his will be done" and thus was impregnated.

On the more qualified side: As god is omniscient he does not need to be confined by laws. Laws are there to stop people from doing something which may be the wrong decision for them or others in the short or long run. But God knows all the answers so he is free to do whatever he KNOWS (instead of considers) right.

That sounds like my ex girlfriend!!!!
If that is the way it is realy meant then god is a HUGE hypocrit. Do as I say and not as I do just makes everything one says into a joke.

You forget that God is not human like I tried to explain so different standards apply.
For example: It would not be wise for a human to try to walk on water because he CAN'T and would probably drown. Jesus however CAN walk on water so there's no problem with that. God is no hypocrite he just happens to be a lot wiser and thus needs no regulations like we humans do.
You wouldn't allow a 5-year old to drive a car yet you probably do it yourself. Does this make you a hypocrite?
