I, on the other hand, believe it was made up. The whole lot of it.. and that 'virgin births' were just the 'in thing' that people expected of demigod characters.
And... considering that a certain Mr. Hitler is not really a very good example for 'the worst!'... imma agree, and also say that it is obvious
Oh, you were talking about Mary? *titters* Oh my God, that is hilarious
Wait, wait... you're... you're serious!?
Really... of all the things to get angry about in the story, you're angry about a pregnancy that we know nothing about, and a woman's success at saving her life from a horrible culture? If that were a rape-baby, how do you think she, already feeling such considerable shame (especially in her culture, and especially at her very young age likely 12-14), would feel about it?
I'm not really the kind of person who calls a teenager's desperate attempt at saving their life (and, conversely, the life of their baby) "the worst", "worst then Hitler". You know... the 40ish year old bloke who killed millions of people on the basis of sexuality, race, and... i'm sure some other things? Yeah... I really don't see it.
And with how utterly marginalized women in that story, and that time in history, were? It's much more likely that it was Joseph's attempt to save his woman, and that Jesus's mother was only showing her support for him when he went on that book's version of Death Row. I mean... I'd have come to see my son or daughter being hung upon the torture device. It's support, whether that makes sense to you or not, I can't know.

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
