Lol.Actually, it's both. In Catholicism, both Mary and Jesus were born to virgins. The 'reason' for this is that, if Mary were conceived the normal way, the Original Sin™ would get passed onto Jesus.
It kind of makes sense, if you squint your eyes and look at it sideways.
EDIT: Oh, I don't believe Jesus existed because there is no evidence that suggests he did. Burden of proof and all that.
