			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Playboy Mexico, a contractor in charge of publishing Playboy&#8217;s Mexican imprint, released its December magazine on Thursday to scandalous <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/12/13/playboy-virgin-mary-cover_n_150801.html" target="_blank">outrage and uproar from our neighbors to the south</a>.</p>
<p>The magazine&#8217;s cover features a very sexy young lady dressed unmistakeably like the Virgin Mary &#8212; who first became famous for giving birth to Jesus in the Christian bible:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.markcaseyonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/virgin-mary-playboy.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-417" title="virgin-mary-playboy" src="http://www.markcaseyonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/virgin-mary-playboy.jpg" alt="" width="275" height="356" /></a></p>
<p><span id="more-416"></span></p>
<p>I must say, I definitely like this annual tradition we&#8217;ve started of having Virgin Mary controversies for the holidays.  Last year, it was that Keisha Castle-Hughes, the 16 year-old actress who played Mary in the sappy Christmas movie <em>The Nativity Story</em> &#8212; which was trying to ride The Passion of the Christ&#8217;s Coattails &#8212; <a href="http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20059640,00.html" target="_blank">was definitely pregnant</a>, and out of wedlock at that, oh my!</p>
<p>Won&#8217;t someone please think of the children?</p>

<p>And while I certainly think that followers of <em>any </em>religion should be willing and able to intelligently defend their beliefs daily (as too few believe too much while thinking too little), the point remains that this is a free country, and a man is allowed to believe what he wishes.  The only thing more strong than our constitutional conviction of this is our rock-solid belief that elected officials should not be elected or tested for their religion, or lack thereof.</p>
<p>Still, enough people out there care about their president&#8217;s religion, and believe that Christianity is the only means by which a person may behave justly and morally, that this poor man, like Kennedy, has to convince them that his &#8220;unChristian&#8221; beliefs won&#8217;t effect his morality.</p>
<p>What a country.</p>
