The christmas slut

Description:In the story, an angel appears to a virgin girl, announcing that she will conceive a baby boy. In this way of thinking, heroes and powerful men must have come from divine seed, and claims of a sexless conception underscored their supernatural origins. Male animals of some other species do the same. The wise parent or aunt or friend tunes in to readiness and explores ideas and values as opportunities arise. But as Christianity, with its Hebrew roots, adapted to the cultures of the Roman Empire, the story of a supernatural, sexless birth won out. The Apostle Paul and even the writer of Luke appear to have held this perspective , and the virgin birth is now thought to be a late addition to the gospel narratives. Secularists , though they may not prize the Bible, understand all sacred texts in this way, which allows us to glean through, keeping the parts that fit and treating the rest as a window into human history and psychology.
