  • Sure, but also, the post here starts with a false premise. In the story we’re talking about, Mary doesn’t produce Jesus on her own. She’s impregnated by God. Why would Jesus only have Mary’s DNA? A better question is if he has any of her DNA. He could easily be made bespoke, with Mary just a surrogate. The answer to that question isn’t in the story - believing Jesus is actually related to Mary by blood is wholly an article of faith.




  • Can the president simply order them to arrest people for no good reason?

    Yes. Just like you can. It’s not hard to give an order.

    If you want to know whether or not the agency will listen and obey… that’s a whole other question and gets into dangerous territory when we know the POTUS loves being a dictator.

    Last time I checked, the alphabet agencies weren’t Trump’s “minions”, and they actually didn’t like him very much.

    Then you checked wrong. The POTUS is the head of the executive and the alphabet agencies are within said executive. POTUS is at the top.of their food chain, same as the military. As I said, though, it can get arbitrarily nuanced when you ask if a given agent will obey an illegal order or not.
