        Mary definitely fucked somebody. Maybe Joseph was an asshole husband and Mary fucked a pool boy while she contemplated leaving and getting stoned to death, but when she told Joe that she was pregnant with God’s baby and he believed her, she realized that he was a loyal husband and that she wanted to stay with him. Therefore the legend of Jesus was born because Joseph truly believed Jesus was the son of God. Over the years due to the massive lie she had told, Mary too began to believe her own lie as many liars often do.

            Suggesting some rando carpenter from Nazareth sprung forth from nothing rather than having parents like a normal person is way more religious than even what the Christians claim.

            Next you’ll be trying to tell me Pontus Pilate was fictional too, LOL!

            (This is meant to be lightheated ribbing, and a gentle reminder that disbelieving miraculous religious BS doesn’t require also nonsensically abandoning belief in the mere existence of documented historical figures. Apologies in advance if I didn’t get the tone quite right to convey that.)
