A place for the finest of dank christian memes to simmer.

This community isn't inherently religious, but don't be an ass to religious people. There's a fine line between poking fun at religion and being an ass to someone because of (or lack of) religious beliefs. Don't cross that line.

Other than that, just follow the lemmy.blahaj.zone instance rules.

I have heard that that word most often translated as "virgin" is elsewhere translated as "maiden" aka young woman just out of girlhood. I always wonder how much emphasis has been placed on that translation effect:-).

Sure, but also, the post here starts with a false premise. In the story we're talking about, Mary doesn't produce Jesus on her own. She's impregnated by God. Why would Jesus only have Mary's DNA? A better question is if he has any of her DNA. He could easily be made bespoke, with Mary just a surrogate. The answer to that question isn't in the story - believing Jesus is actually related to Mary by blood is wholly an article of faith.
