CONTROVERSY: What if Mary Wasn't a Virgin?

Since Christmas is right around the corner, it seems appropriate to discuss this article written by Chloe Breyer, posted by Slate Magazine on Thursday, December 22, 2005.

Chloe Breyer is an Episcopal priest who has taken some heat for her controversial views on the conception of Jesus. In this article she points to scriptural passages that she links to the possibility that Jesus could have had a biological earthly father. This is an interesting article to read and it is sure to stir up some opinions. Following the article on the same page, is a criticism of Breyer's article. Be sure to read that as well!

Tell us what you think about this article and Breyer's ideas by using the comment feature below.

Mary was a virgin like Clinton didn't have sexual relations with that woman
 
Mary's a whore.
Actually, I'm not sure where my beliefs stand.
 
I think it takes a real strong faith to believe in the Virgin conception. It's a toughie.
 
I'm guessing that it'd be harder to accept Mary being a virgin as a woman.
