Still, a viable haploidal Jesus fetus would, in fact, be a bona fide miracle, yet I rarely if ever encounter a Christer that likes that idea when they find out what's involved.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Well, as we all know, the "virgin birth" was required for god stories in the Mediterranean basin 2000 years ago. Even the Caesars claimed it. So the writers of Matthew and Luke decided to include it.

But of course, catholicks say lots of stupid shit so take it for what it is worth.
Since Paul claimed to have stayed and talked with Jesus' brother, I think we can assume the Catholics are wrong about Mary remaining a virgin for life, even in the astronomically unlikely event she was a virgin when she gave birth the Jesus.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

I see it as the Kent's bringing up a special boy...
What's the infatuation with the biological aspects of it all.
But I would love to know the DNA of the father.
How sure are we that Jesus was full Arab?
Maybe mum got porked by an English merchant?
Just maybe that Englishman's name was:

One of my favorite poems, by one of my favorite poets, Richard Crashaw (1613-1649)
Blessed be the Paps which Thou hast Sucked
by Richard Crashaw
Suppose he had been Tabled at thy Teats,
Thy hunger feels not what he eats:
He'll have his Teat ere long (a bloody one).
The Mother then must suck the Son.
How will we know, when the morning comes, we are still human? - 2D
Don't worry, my friend. If this be the end, then so shall it be.

The only way Mary could have claimed being a virgin was if her father had taken a cloth and rammed it up her vagina just before she got married and kept the bloody cloth as proof of her virginity. The story does not include any mention of her father doing that.
It makes more sense to consider that Mary was a metaphor for Samaria, the virgin that had never produced a prophet to the Jews, represented by Joseph. Jesus was the Samaritan prophet that was meant to unite the Samaritans and the Jews in accordance with the Old Testament fairy tale. He certainly acted like he was a Samaritan and never denied that he wasn't. Remember, his family came from outside of Judea. The story has a bogus census in order to get him born in Judea.

Female virginity, one of the dumbest and most harmful bs ever thought up by the ancient patriarchy.
