Definition of Virgin

Of course, depending on what definition of virgin one uses, the semen could have been collected elsewhere and introduced to Mary manually, pun intended.

Special Births

Most of what we have here is part of the woo around "jesus is not an original", specifically the Mizithra myths. The need to make all these other gods "virgin births" or born on Dec 25, etc., is agenda driven. I took a bunch out, but some other stuff should probably be revised. --Godot On a perdu le contrôle 01:34, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

I was half expecting to see the stupid Donysus argument trotted out too. Proper parthenogenesis seems to be pretty uncommon in ancient myth. --Wackyvorlon (talk) 01:41, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Jesus

I think Mary was actually a World of Warcraft player. –Aleksandr(a) Ehrenstein, Jewish Bolshevik 03:19, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

Silver Spoon

Edit reverted because of lack of support. Furthermore, only ancient support I can find for contention re: Alexander etc. is from Plutarch in the second c CE. This does not give us evidence re: earlier gospel. It is possible that elements from Christianity have syncretized into plutarch's narrative, we do not know.
