It could have been much worse. Joseph shouldn't have been in the stable at all.
"The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Say to the Israelites: ‘A woman who becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son will be ceremonially unclean for seven days, just as she is unclean during her monthly period. 3 On the eighth day the boy is to be circumcised. 4 Then the woman must wait thirty-three days to be purified from her bleeding. She must not touch anything sacred or go to the sanctuary until the days of her purification are over. 5 If she gives birth to a daughter, for two weeks the woman will be unclean, as during her period. Then she must wait sixty-six days to be purified from her bleeding."
Leviticus 12:1-5
In fact what was a good Jewish man doing in the stable with her---ignoring his religion that's what. Suggests that part of the Jesus myth wasn't Jewish in origin.
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.

Literally then, from day 1 of Christianity, we have a tradition of scripture cherry picking.
Jesus Fucking Christ !!
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
