Your god is a rapist. Just like Zeus and all the other deities that came before him.
Know why? Because the men who thought up these things were projecting their sexual fantasies (superpowers, raging libido, and no accountability).
Much like you, ned.

Except that, you know, that whole story probably never happened.

"Should God have given her caviar and bon-bons?"
Yes Damn It! Who cares if her society didn't give a damn about her, we're talking about God the almighty who can "poof" create out of thin air. Instead she gets to have the son-of-God among cow dung...fitting for the resulting religion but lame for a God!

First of all, Mary was wed. According to the bible she was already married. According to the gnostic scriptures Joseph was a widower when he married her (Jesus had older brothers).
Second if God cares, why doesn't he help?
Third, considering that she was carrying the Saviour of all mankind, then yeah, I think God could of at least ponied up enough of a miracle for a clean place to have the kid.

"The point of the story is that god still cares about you even when no one else does."
Yet obviously he didn't either.
Next time, try replying to the question instead of making up an answer that is unrelated to reality.

I thought Mary came from a good family and Joseph had his own business?

God should should be sued for child support. Perhaps he'll actually pay attention to his kid once in a while.

Sounds like a good idea, but not on the same plate, please.

Let's lighten up. My atheist credential have never been questioned, but the Christmas story is charming. However, it's too fragile to bear up under a lot of analysis.

Okely-dokely there Flanders, didn't you ask Rev. Lovejoy to help you out on this dilemma? If all else fails, head on down to Moe's, I'm sure the gang there has an answer for you. What? Lisa tried to turn you on to the New England Atheist Society? D'oh!

Mary : "You know I've never known another man."
Joseph : "Pfff...tell me 'bout it !"
Mary : "But I'm pregnant anyway."
Joseph : "Yeah, right, if I catch that sonuvabitch, I'll tear him a new one !"

Among many other things, yes.
werewolf: While I'm never one to defend Zeus - urgh - this 'God' is way worse, what with not just projecting but ordering rape, too. But I second what you said, essentially.

At least Roman Catholics believe that Mary got a holy anaesthetic and gave birth without pain. They believe in a loving god, compared to others.

So... compassion means... what, exactly? Not causing spontaneous combustion? Not having the mother hit by a meteor a minute after the birth?

Well, she kind of was bearing his child...
As an aside: does this mean that God is a deadbeat dad?

Caviar and bombons didn't exist at the time and Mary could have DIED if her pregnancy was found. And the whole answer is a contradiction.

Well, he could have asked permission to knock her up, or wait until she was, hey, maybe older then thirteen, or find a willing, older woman to spawn his sacrifical lamb, or any number of things a "good and loving" god would do to the mother of his child. Fuck, Zeus treated the ladies like queens.
Instead, God rapes a teenaged girl who's only recently been married off to a fifty year old guy, whelps her up good and proper, and he's never heard from again. God is the ultimate dead-beat dad, when you think about it. And you want the entire world to suck his cock?

Should God have given her caviar and bon-bons?
Sure. But maybe He could have concentrated on hooking her up with a clean, warm and dry place to have her baby, food and clean water first.
