Quote by: Zhavric The virgin mary story (and Christianity, itself) only makes sense if viewed through the proper context: a tall tale created around 70 ce in an attempt to rally/unify the Jews who were being oppressed by the Romans. Christ needed to be everything to everyone. Fully human and fully god. Born into humble surroundings, but also heir the line of King David. The list goes on, but those four things are significant to this discussion because they explain why Mary had to be a virgin. We need Jesus to be fully the son of god so Mary couldn't have conceived with her natural husband... but we need the husband around so that Jesus can be of the line of David. Everything else that came afterwards is a lame justification for this nonsense.

Who are you talking about Zhavric? Are you telling me Mary and Joseph were conspirators to the future collapse of the Roman empire? That they are the masterminds?

Christians were enemies at the early time. Any chance to discredit or extinguish would have been successful if the claims of the early times were indeed false. The people and religious rulers were around to make a mockery of such propositions.
