Christians, Muslims and fellow atheists, was Mary a whore?
Hello all, christians and muslims both believe in the virgin
birth of Jesus, isnt it possible that mary was having an affair and she
accidentally got pregnant?, but since she knew the people that lived
back then were a superstitious gullible lot, she came up with the lie
that it was god that made her pregnant and the fools believed her,
i personally think she was a really smart woman because up till today her lie is still believed by christians and muslims
if she was alive today she will be a very good politician,

Children are starving right now to death in Africa, dying every a few seconds, and God puts gas in a priest's tank... Do you see how good it is to have the right connection? If god saved his money for gas, maybe the priest doesn't need donations for his church. People should donate money directly to the needy in the name of god and should just pray for their virtuos and wonderful priest.

i agree with you i beleive the reason why islam is still harsh on atheists is because it is way younger than christianity...no one would dare denounce christianity 300 years ago...so its the same with islam now....but like you said i have hope that sometime in the future it will all change and relax just the way christianity has kind of relaxed now....that explains why all the nigerian atheists i have met online are ex-christians, i am the only ex muslim nigerian atheist i know...thank Allah i am am atheist...lol

The parallel between Christianity and Islam regarding the time axis sounds good but I don't think it's a valid point. Maybe if it regards much shorter periods of time but not when we talk about 2000 or 1400 years. If it's true, we could say that Islam is at the end of Medieval period and will soon enter in Renaissance then 200 years later in their own Baroque, etc. There are 1400 years of history when Christian and Muslim world exchanged ideas, technology, art, etc.
The islamic society in Spain was a very illuminated one and they were the ones that reintroduced Greek-Roman ideas and philosophy back to Western Europe. Not only that they reintroduced the antiquity's science and philosophy but they contributed to and improved the knowledge they inherited. We write with ARABIC digits because of them and they contributed immensely to the European culture. In a period, everyone in Europe was very fond of their culture and you can see paintings of European leaders, kings and princes, that are dress like Muslims even if they lived as far as territories that are now Germany or England.
Spanish Islamic society was even attacked by their own Islamic red-necks from African dessert because they were too liberal then it was attacked by European Christian red-necks and finally defeated until their history was deleted by the supreme assholes Ferdinand and Isabella + Torquemada, the cherry on the cake.

Which comedian was that who said "Mary was one woman who really stuck to her story"? Although, didn't people in the olden days used to examine women to check for virginity? (The hymen...not too accurate a measurement of virginity.)
There probably have been some virgin births since then, with artificial insemination (people want to get pregnant without sex?! It's supposed to be the other way around!). Or some sperm could have gotten in there if they were really fooling around in close proximity even without sex.

No, how does one get "accidentally pregnant" by fucking?
"...if she was alive today she will be a very good politician."
Do you suppose she was reincarnated as Hillory Clinton?

If the story was true, or had some historical basis, then it is highly probable that she and joseph (or any man) were "having too much fun" or that she had an affair.
And she stuck to her story pretty well - that's if she had existed...

More likely that she truly believed her story. It was both a comforting and safe delusion. We have many cases of even more extreme delusions in our modern culture. Sometimes women have hysterical pregnancies, where they believe they are pregnant without having had sex. It is not hard to imagine wanting to believe that your pregnancy came from god rather than rape or infidelity. It is easier to sell a lie if you believe it. It was a mater of survival.
Like you said, if she existed. Although the virgin birth myth was so common at that time, that I suspect many such "virgins" did exist. It was a time when you were stoned to death for such infidelity. A level of repressive mindless violence that is still evident in the Muslim world.
