I never said God needed our praise. Pay attention.

Jesus believed God was his father. According to the Bible, there was no man involved in his fertilization and birth. The relationship between Jesus and God is that of son and father.

Men have inserted themselves into that relationship, and think it applies to them. They have inflated their own importance.

It was Mary, and God. Not Mary and Man. Man was not worthy to fertilize Mary's egg, and somehow God directed men in the writing of scripture. Hahahahahahha... I think that is funny.

The sooner this childish superstition is consigned to the proverbial dustbin, the better.

You could have saved time and just said, "I made it up."

That would be lying. I do not lie. You are lacking an understanding of scripture.

The subtext of the Jesus virgin birth narrative is frequently overlooked by the men it denigrates. Apparently, God knew men were not capable of producing humans capable of achieving our purpose so He impregnated a woman to produce a human who could! What does that say about God's impression of men in general???

Exactly. God knew men were not worthy when Adam blamed Eve, and did not take responsibility for himself.

It was the defining moment of biblical humanity.
