Birth Of Prank Research Paper
As Christmas is upon us I wanted to share a theory surrounding the birth of Jesus Christ and how the whole Christianity thing started.
I am under the opinion that Mary and Joseph, the parents of Jesus have pulled of the greatest prank of all time, creating the way for future prank artists to create their art.
Mary, who up until now has been known as the "virgin mother" has tricked us all into thinking that the "god" of our world, impregnated her without actually......you know.....doing it. When really her and Joseph did the dirty deed and created a legitimate son.
Mary and Joseph were in the lower class of people in Jerusalem and were probably sick of being overlooked and stamped on by the Jewish powers that ruled at the time. They wanted attention, they wanted to be a force to be reckoned with. Now superstition and religion played a

Jesus' who had also been corrupted by his parents to go along with the lie and act as if he was the son of god, played his role perfectly. Paying off people to lie about being healed and cured by Jesus' so called "powers"
It was all going swimmingly for Jesus and his parents, and they had achieved their goal of fame and were truly loving it. Unfortunately Jesus was betrayed by one of his disciples , who had been lied to for years and had bought everything Jesus had said. Jesus was crucified by the Romans who had, had enough of his constant preaching about how great he is, and his so called god. But alas, it had been done, Jesus, his parents and the christian faith has been forever etched in history, making this the greatest prank, the greatest lie and the greatest hoodwink ever conducted in the History of this earth.
So as Christmas comes, I like to remember, not the birth of our lord and saviour as that is lets be honest bullshit, but the birth of the greatest pranker to ever walk the

    My first problem was the ghost of Darius. I think that he came in anger. I had done this miserable thing to my copy of Aeschylus’ Persians – I had given it a fringe of those little yellow flags whose purpose it is to destroy the appearance of any fine-looking book. I had been assigned one of the first papers I'd write here, and I am sure that wanted to hold off for another moment that unspooling experience by scrambling to organize what happily bedevils the highlighting and underlining eye. I made several pages of very neat, probably very pallid notes. The thing I was going to make was due soon. The writing of it had to start now, if not the day before. I felt – and still I feel this way – as though I were sprawled out on the ground, groping at the ankles of people running quick to somewhere I don't know. I am trying to trip something that won't fall, and make it lay still with me in the dirt, where I can't see much of anything, and everything confused.…

    Who Was Pontius Pilate?

    • 1002 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Chief priests and city elders of Jerusalem brought Jesus before Pilate to be trialed. Pilate ask Jesus if He was the King of the Jews and Jesus responded that he was. Jesus did not reply to any charge accused against Him and this amazed Pilate. Pilate followed the customs of the feast to release a single prisoner chosen by the crowd if they chose to condemn Jesus. The prisoner chosen was a man named Barabbas, a notorious criminal. Pilate asked the crowd which man they wanted set free: Jesus or Barabbas. The chief priests and elders had convinced the crowd to set Barabbas free and to execute Jesus, so when Pilate asked the question of who should be set free the crowd chose Barabbas. Pilate then asked what should he do to Jesus and the crowd responded with the sentence of crucifixion. Pilate could not find one thing wrong with Jesus or what he had done. Pilate found Jesus innocent and tried many times to convince the Jews that Jesus had done no harm. The crowd then said to Pilate that if he were to let the man go, then he would be no friend of Caesar because if Jesus claims to be a king then He opposes Caesar. After hearing this Pilate became fearful and handed Jesus over to the Jews to be crucified. Pilate washed his hands to show the crowd that he was innocent of this man's death. The crowd took full responsibility for Jesus' death and even put it on their children as well. Pilate…

    Why is Mary so important for just having a baby? There are many powerful women in the Bible. A powerful women is one who makes a difference and changes lives. The most powerful woman in the Bible is Mary. The Catechism states, “she be wholly borne by God’s grace” (“Catechism of the Catholic Church” 490). Learning about Mary allows people to understand Jesus more and shows how much courage and strength she has. Mary is so important that God sent other biblical women ahead of her to prepare the way. She also played a major role in our salvation. God specifically called on Mary because she was “full of grace” and because she was free from sin. Mary gave up everything to obey God and to follow his will which led to her being the most important woman in history. Because of this she saved humanity by following God's will ("Catechism of the Catholic…

    In the book, Leonardo Da Vinci 's painting of The Last Supper depicts that the person to right of Jesus is a women, Mary Magdalene but is usually claimed to be John the Baptist. In Patricia Limericks essay, "Haunted America," she claims that history is not always correct. Many readers believe Mary Magdalene could very well be Jesus ' wife; the witnesses and writers of the bible could have left that piece of information out. On the other hand, many Christians, Catholics, and Protestants believe that Mary was not his wife because there is no evidence in the bible. The Da Vinci Code is considered to be revisionist history because it is contradicting what were said hundreds sometimes thousands of years ago.…

    The living nativity scene he created very prominently depicts the nativity in its physical sense and in its symbolic and religious sense. All in all, St. Francis of Assisi had so much passion and love for Christ and his religion that it not only beamed through his effort on the scene itself but his words of wisdom and faith in the mass itself was burnt into the minds of the people; creating a tradition that is still present in today’s…

    What is a hoax? A hoax is a humorous or malicious deception. In simpler terms, a hoax is basically a large prank that affects and tricks many people. Some of the most famous hoaxes of all time are Loch Ness Monster photo, Piltdown Man, “The Beatles” Paul McCartney died and was replaced by a look-alike, Orson Wells’ The War of the Worlds Radio Broadcast, Hitler’s Diary, and the Balloon Boy. A theory that caused the Balloon Boy Hoax, which I believe to be true, is that a couple were greedy for fame.…

    Like most medieval noblewomen, Mary was a pawn of her father in royal marriage, and he considered her: “a new and useful card to play in the universal game of European matrimonial alliances.”5 When she was only two years old, she was engaged to the King Francis I of France’s son, also named Francis, but three years later, this marriage was annulled. In 1522, she was arranged to marry her twenty-two-year-old cousin, Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire, but few years later,…

    The fact of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary is related in Luke 1:26-38. The Evangelist tells us that in the sixth month after the conception of St. John the Baptist by Elizabeth, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to the Virgin Mary, at Nazareth, a small town in the mountains of Galilee. Mary was of the house of David, and was espoused (i.e. married) to Joseph, of the same royal family. She had, however, not yet entered the household of her spouse, but was still in her mother's house, working, perhaps, over her dowry. (Bardenhewer, Maria Verk., 69). And the angel having taken the figure and the form of man, came into the house and said to her: "Hail, full of grace (to whom is given grace, favoured one), the Lord is with thee." Mary having heard the greeting words did not speak; she was troubled in spirit, since she knew not the angel, nor the cause of his coming, nor the meaning of the salutation. And the angel continued and said: "Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God. Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of David his father; and he shall reign in the house of Jacob forever. And of his kingdom there shall be no end." The Virgin understood that there was question of the coming Redeemer. But, why should she be elected from amongst women for the splendid dignity of being the mother of the Messiah, having vowed her virginity to God? (St. Augustine). Therefore, not doubting the word of Godlike Zachary, but filled with fear and astonishment, she said: "How shall this be done, because I know not man?"…

    In chapter 15 of Changing Horizons Schussler Fiorenza explores the ways in which engendering Easter is necessary if we seek to experience the life-giving encounter with the risen Christ. Engendering Easter is inevitable when we begin to note that the events as are recorded bring us to the wo/men disciples. As Schussler Fiorenza notes, “The early Christian message that ‘Jesus the Nazarene who was executed on the cross and was raised in glory’ is revealed first to the Galilean wo/men disciples of Jesus.” (233) In order to understand the encounter with the wo/men disciple Schussler Fiorenza brings us to understand the “Apostle to the Apostles”, Mary of Magadala. A woman who in her life-giving leadership stood by Jesus in loyal understanding, a quality which many of the twelve [male] Apostles lacked. Unfortunately, as is evident in the reading and in our modern context, Mary of Magdala’s story and powerful witness has been limited and corrupted, twisted and misinterpreted, and most unfortunately used against wo/men themselves. As Schussler Fiorenza explains, “Mary of Magdala’s story also bespeaks of the mysogism that wo/men face who dare to assume leadership.” (234) Mary’s witness and irreplaceable discipleship is discredited and portrayed as merely the role of the “repentant sinner”, the “redeemed whore.” (234)…
