It doesn’t look much like Jesus to me but then again, 2000 years can do a lot to ones figure and hairstyle.
Is it a deity or a message from the Christian god that the spilling of seed during masturbation is indeed murder of the unborn?
I do know one thing for sure – This is not what I had in mind when I think about a face on my balls!
But when the scrotal ultrasound of a 45-year-old patient with severe testicular pain and a possible mass revealed the surprising image of a man in distress, urologists at Queen’s University, in Ontario, followed proper scholarly procedure: They submitted it to Urology, the official journal of the International Society of Urology.
“The residents and staff alike were amazed to see the outline of a man’s face staring up out of the image, his mouth agape as if the face seen on the ultrasound scan itself was also experiencing severe epididymo-orchitis,” wrote the authors, G. Gregory Roberts and Naji J. Touma, in an article that appeared in the journal’s September issue. “A brief debate ensued on whether the image could have been a sign from a deity (perhaps ‘Min,’ the Egyptian god of male virility); however, the consensus deemed it a mere coincidental occurrence rather than a divine proclamation.”
In a welcome symbolic move Australia will ditch the Christian calendar in their school history books.
Instead of BC (Before Christ) and AD (Anno Domini), the curriculum will use BCE (Before Common Era) and CE (Common Era) instead.
The change in abbreviations does not equate to a change in dates, but the Archbishop of Sydney the Most Rev Peter Jensen has described BCE and CE as “meaningless”.
He said the move yesterday was an “intellectually absurd attempt to write Christ out of human history”.
BCE and CE abbreviations have been in circulation for hundreds of years, but have become increasingly popular with scientists and academics in the last few decades.
According to the Daily Mail, the changes were supposed to be introduced next year but have been delayed because of the backlash.
Christopher Pyne, of the Liberal National Party, blamed political correctness for the change.
“Australia is what it is today because of the foundations of our nation in the Judeo-Christian heritage that we inherited from Western civilisation,” he said.
“Kowtowing to political correctness by the embarrassing removal of AD and BC in our national curriculum is of a piece with the fundamental flaw of trying to deny who we are as a people.”
While I agree with Richard Dawkins that evolution should be taught to children from age five, that “the explanation for our existence”‘ – should be a compulsory part of the primary school curriculum, there are those that would claim this is indoctrination.
