Talk about being desperate. Not only was he not called Immanuel but this has been proven as the Hebrew "almah" (actually meaning "young woman") word wrongly translated into "virgin". The Hebrew language has a specific word (bethulah) for "virgin" but that is not used here.
Not only that but actual Christians admit this mistake and have actually corrected the translation, like in The Revised Standard Version (RSV)

as well as some other Bibles

But what am I wasting my time on fanatics, he's gonna believe what he wants to believe no matter what.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
