      It’s funny to me cuz I confronted my parents priest as I was getting skeptical about religion in my mind 20s. I specifically brought up not believing Mary could be a virgin, and his response was “it’s in the Bible, just go read it!” MF that’s why I’m here, I already read the damn thing.

      I don’t have a pastor I just like theology as a subject

      Religious people aren’t the only ones interested in the meanings of religious ideas.

        I studied Christian religious theory before I was an atheist, and I continue to do so because I find mythology interesting. The theory you presented falls far outside of contemporary Christian beliefs, any text of Christian scripture, and any historical Christian doctrine that I’ve ever read or heard of. How did you form that opinion, and what made you think it was a good idea to present it as fact?

        Maybe try to avoid using cromulent words, next time you try to convince people with how “logical” you are about people’s beliefs.
