Yeah.
We were taught there was nothing all that unusual about a young Jewish virgin being impregnated by god . So of course Yusuf simply believed her rather than having her stoned for adultery, with him hurling the first rock.
Of course one needs to realise that Christianity introduced no new ideas, no new theology and no new morality. Putting it as simply as I can; Jesus was meant to return, pretty much straight away. That idea was fundamental to the new religion initially called "The Way". When Jesus didn't turn up, Christianity became just another failed millenarian movement. By that time too many church leaders had too much to lose. So the idea of the imminent return of Jesus was changed to some indeterminate time in the future and quietly dropped. Today it's only the literalists who insist Jesus' return will be soon.
