These assholes are so fucking nutty.
I've been wondering a lot about the "virgin" Mary recently. I mean there must be many millions of young women who have gotten pregnant out of wedlock. How did the planets align for Mary such that people just seemed to believe that she was a virgin and that her pregnancy was a miracle from god?
I get that most things about Christianity require "faith" - as in it all just fits together if you just believe that it should - but this seems to me like an absurdity even in that context.
Like if a young church going woman today fell pregnant and claimed that she was a virgin, would anyone believe her? Hardly.
