That would not be our (mine and my congregations) Christian version.
Actually, Matthew 19:10-12 (New International Version)
10The disciples said to him, "If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry." 11Jesus replied, "Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given. 12For some are eunuchs because they were born that way; others were made that way by men; and others have renounced marriage[a]because of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it."
In some translations of ancient texts, individuals identified as eunuchs sometimes historically included men who were impotent with women, as well as those who were celibate. Or he could have been born without member due to a gene abnormailty from having the incorrect pairing of XY chromosones.
The Bible doesn't really talk about his years from 12 to 30. Mybe the Church had an agenda for censoring that? He didn't have to be a Virgin, just that he's celibate after his "missing years".
It doesn't really matter if he was a cross-dresser, or celibabte or impotent to me.
Your claim that sex is the "best" part of life is debateable, but I understand your perspective since you don't believe in a spiritual side to humanity. I personally feel my kids are the best part of my life. But good sex is definately in my top 5.
As far as emaculate conception, I have my doubts about that as well. It wouldn't really matter if he was male or female to me and the "church" rewrote Jesus to a man like they did God to a he. I believe that a part of God is in everyone of us. Something that cohesively turns a mass of electrons andatoms into a reasoning, feeling and self-aware individual. What if Mary lied and she did it with the postman? Wel Jesus would still be a son of God he just had enough cahones to state it out loud. I'm pretty tired so I'm going to finish my documentary and hit the hay and ponder on this some more. I've tried not to dance around the points as much as possible.
