Is it sitting in a jar in some cathedral as a holy relic? Did Mary toss it to the ravens so Jesus would have prophetic visions, the way the Kwakiutl do?

The Malaysian Orang Asli regard the placenta as the baby's older sibling. Was James, brother of Jesus, actually Jesus's placenta?

Did Mary eat it?

Were the gifts of the Magi not actually gifts, but payment for 1/3rd of a placenta each as the Three Wise Men were just blazed out of their gourds while strolling through town and happened upon a barn where some teenage chick was giving birth and Melchior was like "fuckin, let's buy this bitch's placenta" and Balthazar was like "ha ha no way" and Caspar was all "check it, these Jews will sell anything" and he was totally right?

They wouldn't waste such a valuable resource back in the bible days. And it makes sense because like 80 churches claimed to have Jesus' foreskin as a holy relic. The only reason the Holy Placenta isn't spread across a hundred churches is because they ate that fucker.

more importantly, did she stay a virgin after Jesus was born? If so Joseph is the biggest saint ever since he never got laid

if not, was there a hymen to break after she gave birth without having banged before? How did he know she was a virgin if not?

I'm willing to be that somewhere, there is a church that has what it claims to be placenta of "Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ" (TM)

After all, I have the blood of Saint Januarius in a bottle on a shelf in my house.

By what definition? More people know about him than about all of us out together. After you've died, and the impact your life has made upon the world has faded into the background noise such that there is no real difference between this universe and another where you never existed, people will still be talking about Jesus. So who's real now?

Besides, to answer the other guy, if you go back in time to kill Jesus you'll probably fail through a bunch of hilarious screwups and then finally get the chance when some guys have nailed him to some wood and you stab him with a spear. Or you can manage it by impersonating the Roman governor guy and ordering his death, or impersonating Judas and betraying Jesus. And it turns out it was meant to happen all along. And seeing as how he's meant to die for sins or whatever the weird metaphysical crap is, if you somehow manage it earlier it won't change much, he still dies for sins.

What you'd have to do to break the prophesy is go back in time and save Jesus, say by using modern medical technology. Bring along a bunch of plasma, drugs and antibiotics. IV lines and saline. Can you fit a heart rate monitor in your time machine? Anyway, dope him up with painkillers and anti-coagulants before he gets nailed up. Surreptitiously give him a sedative that makes him appear dead so they take him down (also be the guy who stabs him with a spear, which is a fake spear with a blood pack in the tip). Hide in the cave where they put him, with all your medical equipment hidden under a rug. Revive him and keep him sedated over the weekend to recover. By saving Jesus, you'll definitely be condemning everyone to hell, as there's no way the stories will be able to account for him miraculously being alive a few days later!


Edit: and yes, when you go back in time to save/murder/observe Jesus, it turns out that literally every person in Jerusalem around that time is a time traveler from different points in the future who've impersonated the original populace.

nobody agrees on this although most people who think mary remained a vigin also think she was josephs second wife, so he prob did get laid at some point

I remember during catequesis I had to fill some crossword and one word was "Mary was also ________ mother" and I put "natural" because it fit and I remembered Jesus having half-brothers in the Bible somewhere, and thought "man, at least one of the questions in this thing is meant to make you learn something about the bible" but no, it was "our" (nuestra, it makes sense in spanish). I was already an atheist at that point and doing the catequesis to please my mother because "you're supposed to do it", but I thought it was a bum out.
I enjoyed singing the church songs though, still do whenever I accompany my elderly mother to some procession. Funny thing is I'm usually the only person singing in a large area of the church.
