    “God’s plan” is literally whatever is happening right now. Got in a car crash? God’s plan. Narrowly missed a car crash? God’s plan. Cat wakes you at 6am for breakfast? God’s plan. This whole comment? God’s plan.

      My thoughts exactly. It’s a clickbait headline targeted at anyone who doesn’t realize that a third of people believe literally everything is “god’s plan.”

      His plan sucks because he made Pedos billionaires. Wait, god might he a pedo. It’s his plan afterall. Always watching you like a creep. Dude fits pedo logic 100%. Worshiping pedos, sounds on track for religious nutts.

              Wikipedia is using the pseudepigraphal gospel attributed to James as a source. This had been identified by Origen as a forgery and it doesn’t constitute Christian doctrine. Although it does influence Christian tradition a lot. It also cites Jewish custom, where girls are eligible to marry at age 13 (which actually contradicts the infancy gospel of James, which states she was 12)

              It’s not really reliable and definitely not Christian doctrine.

                Do you think there’s a more accurate determination of a teenager’s exact age two thousand years ago?

                  To use it as ammo against Christianity is just silly. “Oh, the mother of Jesus might have been a young teenager instead of an older teenager because people married earlier back then, and a document known for being a forgery says she is”

                    I don’t need that for ammo against Christianity, lol, I went to catholic school, I’ve got plenty of material. I was using it to make a flip joke.

                    But do you have any source for her age? If that’s as unreliable as you say, you should probably put an edit through on Wikipedia.
