I mock the Bible and Christ all the time so am not quite sure why I'm zealously defending what I myself often feel is bullshit
Actually, I'll tell ya why. It's because of how arrogantly you state your views and the views of the authors you love so much as if it is a fact that is known with complete certainty and then you go so far as to talk like it's common knowledge.
I actually recently spoke of Krishna, Horus, Mithras, and the details of their similarities to Christ.

It is not unlike the paranormal or UFO "sightings." People might see something "else" or hear something "else" and because a place has been dubbed as "haunted," will assume what they saw was of the paranormal variety.
I know that Fatima story, and unfortunately, it is a story just like the Bible.
You glossed over my comment about research showing how it wasn't uncommon for people prior to Jesus' time, to think that gods were impregnating virgins.
It really wasn't anything new as Christianity would have us believe. (the idea of gods impregnating mortals)
