Boy, what a bunch of literal thinkers. Spaw's right, this thread is hilarious.

I note that none of you have even reacted to my suggestion that virgin birth was a pre-Christian religious idea (which the Christians borrowed later), nor to my further suggestion that it is a symbolic tale, not a literal one.

Of course, you're not spiritual adepts are you? Nor are you even attempting to be, in most cases.

The ordinary human being doesn't look any farther than grossly literal interpretations of religious materials, generally speaking. That's why religions feed highly symbolic and fanciful tales to the general congregation...as a parent tells fairy tales and "Santa Claus" stories to a little child...while few students people in the mystery schools or monasteries live quietly, studying the symbols in those tales, looking beneath the surface, and coming to a deeper understanding of what they actually mean.

You people are seriously in need of help from an enlightened being, unless of course you wish to simply remain blissfully ignorant. And my suspicion is, you do. You think your ignorance is wisdom and common sense.

So go ahead and talk yourselves blue in the face about the pros and cons and physical requirements of "virgin birth", and whether or not it is possible.

As if it mattered... LOL! By the time they crucified Jesus, I suspect he was getting fed up with the whole thing anyway...he was trying to teach higher spiritual truths to violent, sadistic apes.
