According to Christian tradition (and we all know how accurate that usually is), virgin Mary's vagina was something like a flamethrower.
So, in the "Gospel of James", we find a story where a woman named Salome was there when Mary gave birth to Jesus, and when she heard from Mary's midwife about Mary's virginity she doubted that Mary was a virgin, so she fingered Mary, and her hand went in flames.

Quote:And the midwife departed from the cave and met Salome and said to her, "Salome, Salome, I have to describe this new miracle for you. A virgin has given birth, although her body does not allow it."
And Salome said, "As the Lord my God lives, unless I insert my finger and investigate her, I will not believe that a virgin has given birth."
And the midwife went in and said, "Mary, position yourself, for not a small test concerning you is about to take place."
When Mary heard these things, she positioned herself. And Salome inserted her finger into her body. And Salome cried out and said, "Woe for my lawlessness and the unbelief that made me test the living God. Look, my hand is falling away from me and being consumed in fire."

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
