If the idea of Jesus having two dads strikes you as over-the-top, you haven’t spent much time with the Bible.
Is it any more absurd than God conceiving his Earthly son Jesus through Mary — a virgin?
So assuming the Bible is full of make-believe, why not celebrate the ancient tradition of storytelling by adding your own twists that speak to you?
That’s the direction one early Christmas decorator took, and it’s delighted thousands.
How about we take this to the next level?

Comedian Cameron Esposito tweeted a photo of a neighbor’s yard, which features a Nativity scene with baby Jesus and two Josephs. “Our neighbors’ two Joseph nativity is up & I’m beaming,” the out comic said in the caption.

The Bible says that Jesus had two dads. I see nothing wrong with this.

Salesperson: Sirs, it comes with the whole set, I can't sell you two Josephs.
Later: Gays high-fiving lesbian neighbors as there are now two same-sex nativity sets on their block.

Joseph: WTH Joseph, I told you I was wearing pink!
Joseph: You know I love this robe! What do you want me to do, get changed?
Joseph: …

Ummmm Yeah
This is just going out of your way to piss people off. Then when those pissed off people hate gays, you’ll be the ones hollering bigots and homophobes.

If a fictional character being made to look gay is enough to piss someone off they need to go out and get a life.

They hate gays anyway, dumdum. This is all in good fun-it was proven years ago that the jeebus stuff is all made up

Probably best to keep the joke inside the home and not outside. Joke or not, believer or not, it is religiously insensitive and could be taken as being very disrespectful. It is Christmas after all.

Imagine if something similar was done in regards to Mohammad during Ramadan. You’d have everybody getting involved to have it removed

Religious tolerance is seriously over-rated. I have zero tolerance for religious zealots throwing gays off buildings believing it’s god’s judgement. Or mutilating people’s genitals because their religion tells them too. Or not baking a cake for someone’s wedding. Stupidity and hate should never be tolerated.

Just because some religious people are horrible doesn’t mean you should make fun of an entire religion. Any of them. Kinda like how some gay people are horrible but you shouldnt condemn all of us. Poking fun at a person’s way of life is very degrading to them and we should know that very well. Anyone who does things like this is just a spiteful person.

It seems so simple, doesn’t it? Yet so many here don’t see the irony. Tolerance is simply showing respect for people who don’t think like you do. It’s actually really easy to do, especially if you’re a gay person. Imagine how you’d like to be treated by the most conservative, homophobic, religious zealot (how you’d LIKE them to treat you, not how you expect them to treat you), then do the same to everyone else in the world. Your righteousness is no more valid than their righteousness, so don’t be a dick.
