Was Jesus of Nazareth a religious loon?

(March 29, 2020 at 10:39 pm)Paleophyte Wrote: It's a recurring theme throughout the NT. Mary gets knocked up by God AllMighty and then:
 - Is surprised by the miraculous birth
 - Is surprised that her brat knows scripture
 - Is surprised that he can work miracles

It's almost like somebody took a bunch of unrelated stories and pasted them together without editing them. Syncretion if you like big fancy-sounding words. By the standard of "OMG! Panic The Son of God isn't acting like a mortal!" this is almost certainly a later addition and a load of bollocks.

And, it's not unique in 1st Century Palestine, or, even Judaism.  It was not at all uncommon during the Hellenistic era for gods to have sex with we mortals.
