It was a widely accepted legend during that time period. Christianity wasn't the first religion to come up with that notion. I don't believe the NT played out like it reads, I think the whole Virgin birth conconction was invented long after Jesus' death in order to have Christianity be both this mysterious and powerful religion. (it is still the dominant religion, worldwide)
It also built a shrine around the notion of chastity elevating ''virgins'' above others. Which is why the Catholic Church is quite fucked up, because it preaches that sex is not a natural thing, but rather a sinful thing. (outside of marriage, and only if it is ''ordered'' towards procreation)
Aside from the absurdity of an immortal being ''making himself'' mortal...lol
YEs I know there is a lot of bullshit and fairy tales out there. Human beings are liars. However I believe that the Guadalupe tilma is miraculous because repeatedly it has been scientifically studied and there is no way to reproduce it or to find evidence of whether or not it could have been painted and there aren't other images like that where there can be found no trace of how the artist created it..
The cactus fiber should have decomposed hundreds of years ago. AntiCatholics put a bomb in a vase in front of the image which blew up everything around it and bent the crucifix all to hell but the image was unscathed.
THe miracle of Fatima was prophecied in advance. 70,000 people showed up, many of them being atheist (Portugal was communist and had a very antiReligious government)...yet these people that showed up to mock the event wrote about it in the secular newspapers. THe media was there as well.
THe prophecies that the seers made about world war two and Russia came true.
At Lourdes France there is a Medical Bureau made up of Doctors who often have no Religious persuasion who want these conditions, medical documents that the pilgrim has an incurable malady, instantaneous cures, complete (not partial) cures, cures that cannot be scientifically or medically explained, and the person must not relapse in a year.
If these requirements have been met the miracle gets the term "Certified" Miracle. THere have been many. I'm not so arrogant as to say all this shit isn't true. Who the fuck am I to say that?
Stop the madness....
