I thought the whole "virgin" thing was an interpretation of the original Greek or Aramaic for "maid", as in a young women of child rearing age.
No. They believe she never had sex. Jesus needs to be an only child and conceived by god or he's not special enough.
The real miracle in the Bible is that Joseph didn't fuck for his entire marriage and was ok with that.
For all we know Joe was ace and was glad to have found a way to stop his parents' nagging
Or gay. We don't actually know that much about Joseph except that he handled a lot of wood.
In Geoff Ryman's novel "Him," both Mary and Joseph are ace. They reproduce via some kind of turkey baster method. And Jesus is a trans man.
Joseph and Mary. The original lavender marriage.
I seem to recall that back then, there were a lot of myths about virgin births. So even that lie wasn't particularly special, in the grand scheme of things.
According to Christian mythology Jesus has several brothers and sisters from Mary and Joseph. So no miracle there. One just has to wonder if they waited until after Jesus was born to start fucking.
Catholics don't believe that. I'm not sure who even does.
Dangerops prangent sex will it hurt Jesus top of head?
