Was it really used metaphorically to represent both Jesus' and the Buddha's enlightenment. Does It have absolutely nothing to do with a literal virgin birth at all? Was Mary just a cypher in a metaphor?

Is the following THAT upsetting?
"Virgin Birth = commonly-used religious metaphor to represent the enlightenment experience. It was used metaphorically to represent both Jesus' and the Buddha's enlightenment. It has absolutely nothing to do with a literal virgin birth."

Hello, world. It is a cold morning here in the southern, US.
And Thanksgiving is right around the corner, Happy Thanksgiving.
Let's get down to it. The librarian has come wither. I came
in 20 minutes ago, to start my computer. The words did not
print, for whatever reason. So while she walked by, I stopped
her, to get help. Then she came and fixed the "problem". The
keys worked again, and the words came out on the monitor,
in less than half a minute. Hmmmm. She grinned, and said
I wonder why that happened. It has never happened before.
A sly grin at that.... Is she up to something ? Or was this
or moment of truth, that the windows of time allowed us to
get close, for just a quick second ? That is the question.
Is this the ice breaker, for me to make my surprising move
to the sexy librarian ? Psychics, doctors, teachers, preachers,
scientists. May the best answer win.

Do people still dress (that is, kids in pretty dresses & dress shirts with neckties, adults in Church-worthy clothing) for Thanksgiving Dinner?

We've always done so in my family, but I wonder what others do.

Thanks!

without the bible there would be no christianity or christians - would there ?

if you remove on the origin of species - someone else would have come up with the theory of evolution - but if the bible did not exist - there would be no christian doctrine to follow

I live now since 6 month in a german-speeking country. I have to think about every article I use because of the 4 different cases in the german language and the 3 different genders of the noun.
Will it ever become second nature?

Can anyone tell me about different ways they (or others) feel spiritual e.g. prayer, meditation, visualisation, and why they're good?

Example: A question about 'why do we fall in love?', and someone answers 'because Jesus made it that way'.
Now, I may not be up to scratch on my theology. However, doesn't the basic tenet of Christianity state that Jesus of Nazareth was the son of God - meaning that God created 'love' and not Jesus.

A quick and dirty example, but you get my meaning.

(And can I at least get some reasonable answers, instead of people behaving like I ran over your puppy...)
