and the follow-up question, "if the baby looks like the gardner, should a religion still be started based on devine intervention?"

In the times before forensic tests and modern evidence gathering, it was common for women to mysteriously get pregnant, and tell people that it was some sort of spirit. In the middle ages, they were called an "incubus". Think about how common cheating is in our modern era. It must have been just as prolific back then. Only back then, they didn't have communications technologies that lead to the cheater getting busted, but they also didn't have contraceptives, either.
medieval Italians circumvented this problem by resorting to anal sex. Hence the term "Italian virginity" as a euphemism for someone who has never had anal sex.
In all likeliness, she was either raped or had a fling, and cited divine conception to cover her tracks. The fact that she was allowed to live probably had more to do with Joseph forgiving her than anything.
I speak from a purely secular point of view.

Neither Jesus nor Mary started Christianity. It is quite doubtful that they ever really existed, for there are many contradictions in the Bible accounts of them. If Mary did exist, she became pregnant the same way any other woman does, and thus, she should have been stoned by existing laws.

sure! you're able to get Obama on the telephone desirable now! they might deploy alarms in all pregnant women people that bypass off while they have intercourse. Dr's shouldnt be allowed to tell thier sufferers that intercourse is a large stress relief and can help deliver forth hard artwork and is sweet for the mothers and fathers's courting. of direction alot of adult adult males would be fairly unhappy to renowned they might bypass to reformatory in the event that they dont bypass without intercourse for a pair of 365 days. yet nonetheless i assume its properly worth it to decrease down on the gays. I guess if this have been completed in the previous you have been born you wouldnt be gay!

She didn't start that. The baby did!!!! It's called "Christ"ian not "Mary"ism. Really, you should have posted this question in the religion section. Don't try to outsmart a philosopher with a mind like yours! You might hurt yourself!
