I am skeptical Mary and Jesus even existed.

Mary Tyler Moore had an affair???!!!!

I believe that Barbie was unfaithful to Ken with Action Man!

I don't believe in Mary, Joseph, Jesus. They're all fake.

As somewhat of a mythicist, I believe that she had an affair with a god just like Hercules' mom did.

Men made it all up... Men wrote the Bible, not women...

Virgin birth mythology goes back through many cultures. Easy to graft it on to your new fangled doctrine to give it legitimacy.

Christianity is the greatest syncretic religion of them all so we shouldn’t expect anything less.

The whole book is fiction
Mary is not real
There was no Mary she is a character in a book, that is all.

I haven’t even seen evidence that she was a real person. So I can’t even answer

Mary had a little lamb

If she existed

The whole Jesus, Mary, etc, etc, story is 100% fiction BUT if it wee real then I'd say that the biological father of Jesus was most likely a Roman Tribune named " Biggus Dickus Maximus," ( courtesy of Monty Pyhons Flying Circus btw)....LOL, and Mary's favourite personal theme song was " Come All ye Faith fully."

I think it's a fake story.....

I'm not sure if there was a historical Jesus but there's some reasonable argument that the whole virgin birth element of the myth was a later addition. So I'm leaning towards "no".

That said, however the story came about, there's a provocative subtext as valid as any other interpretation of a fictional work.

It's a made up story, totally fiction.

Mary, the fictional character, was impregnated by the Holy Spirit, a fictional character. In fiction, anything is possible.

Similarly, Superman, a fictional character, has some sort of issue with kryptonite. This is possible because it's fiction.

First you need to worry about if she or anybody else in that book are real......other contenders are, she was raped, either by Joseph or a stranger/uncle/etc or, hey, a celestial loving gawd......

You forgot the "Duh" option.

Their names alone always mystified me.

Mary who?

Like @Cutiebeauty said, men wrote the bible.

Originally 88 versions of the Bible were written. The Catholic Church chose the version that omitted women in positions of power.

Yes, it was in the Bible that Julius abdus Tiberius was the father of the bastard Jesus Christ. The word bastard means a child from a woman that is not married. The pope ordered to delete it from all Bibles around 1400. Julius Tiberius is known as the Panther which means beast because Tiberius was the best killer in the Roman armee that was under the command of Pontius Pilate.

Was Mary even real?

Well considering that she was not married and was pregnant............

if she was a real person it seems to me she was the village bicycle lol

I'm not even convinced that Mary was an actual person.
