Actually Lea, Jesus was nursed until he was 12.
I think it's in that Bible Code book.

We're fanatics, but what other people do with their kids' wiener, education, fecal matter, garbage, and faith are their own business.

I agree! Everybody's own business! But there's an attitude of ABSOLUTE RIGHT that is completely unsupported by facts that is rampant. Maybe Mary got pregnant again right away and Jesus was nursed by a family member. Maybe Jesus self weaned when he learned to crawl, leaving Mary free to slave away for her husband (also an assumption about the time/era). But making claims about Jesus that make what you do not only right, but by association holy... claims completely unconnected to any sort of source... It just makes every single rational fiber in my being cringe.

(This is the same blog where the fellow IUPLGCMBs told me I was supporting the child sex trade by planning to circumcise a son if I ever had one.)

People like to use Jesus as an excuse for everything they do, isn't it cute! There are a lot of blind people out there crafting god in their own image. tsk.

Jesus was nursed UNTIL he was twelve, obviously! That's why they skipped so many years. Mary was creeping people out with nursing a kid who had to stoop to suckle.
