      Mary’s husband Joseph doesn’t know that Mary and me

      Do it on my camel every Sunday

      She tells him she’s in church but she doesn’t go

      Still she’s on her knees and Mary’s husband Joseph doesn’t know

        Took me a minute, but then the melody clicked and I saw Ben Affleck in my head at a high school graduation party (hint hint) singing this song.

    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

        The real miracle in the Bible is that Joseph didn’t fuck for his entire marriage and was ok with that.

        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.

    What Christians don’t want you to know is that Virgin just mean early-teens back in the day, and Mary was too Virginal. Hence the scandal. Someone sid that kid, no one wanted to admit it, so everyone agreed that it must have been a miracle.
