You forgot the one little fact that said virgin was 13 at the time of impregnation.

~PS. Epstein didn’t kill himself.~

It gets better.

The Greek word that's eventually translated to English "virgin" means unwed. (I have no source at hand to support that.)

Let's employ Occam's razor.

Mary (lit. Beloved) is just some dirt poor farmers daughter who got knocked up and ran away to the next village with her boy friend. Gave birth in a barn.

Then 25 years later this dude shows up again, a carpenter by trade, and is a total hippie.

Then all his mates write down his adventures in letters to each other.

I hear this Jesus guy is a pretty big deal with the Republicans. He's probably on that list they won't release.

Apparently, he is too woke for them now, but still go worship a woke god every week.

he is too woke for them now

Always has been. Jesus is basically the superhero tier of communist hippie. And he's brown. Republicans fucking hate him.

We didn't have rules back then

Mary wasn't the virgin, her mother was. She had to be pure that way to carry jebus. It's so nonsensical even the followers of the religion get their own shit wrong.

What? Mary was allegedly a virgin when she became pregnant with Jesus, but that's not what immaculate conception is about.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I thought immaculate conception was the idea that Christians had about heritable sin from Adam and Eve, and that when Mary was conceived the sin associated with humanity in general skipped her somehow. Virgin birth, something separate, was Mary making Jesus via parthogenesis and Bible magic. Someone correct me if I'm wrong I grew up in a cult so I got half of this off the internet.

It varies by denomination.

Explaining crazy with crazier is pretty crazy. Just saying.

[–] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

Right, but the mythology is pretty clear about her being a virgin.
