Answer 1

Not if Mary was a Goddess. Pagans are fond of saying that our Goddess gave birth to your god. Before the patriarchal religions, like the Abrahamic ones, reared their ugly heads, everyone worshiped the Great Mother Godess.

Something else to consider. Hebrew words in the bible are read not just for their meaning but for the content of the letters used within them. The word for the name of "god" is YHWH. Eve is HWH. Eve is 3/4 of "god."

ETA: Had to comment on some of the other comments here. In ancient times, Virgin didn't necessarily refer to someone who hadn't had sex. It was often used to refer simply to a woman who took a vow not to marry.

Also, many religions emphasize virgin birth. Virgin birth is also called parthenogenesis, and occurs naturally in some animals. There are some species that have only females - parthenogenesis is triggered by mating rituals performed between two females. There is a theory that some women may have a vestigial ability to reproduce this way. That may be one of the reasons unmarried women who became pregnant were killed in patriarchal religions. It may have helped to rid the race of women who could reproduce without a man, as well as women who had been with men outside of marriage.

It's just a theory, but I think it's an interesting one since some states have passed laws against parthenogenesis in their anti-stem cell and cloning bills. Scientists have observed or triggered parthenogenesis in mammals, and recently they produced a baby mouse that had two genetic mothers rather than a mother and a father. It's impossible to produce offspring with two male cells.

Answer 2

Oh my goodness, where did you come up with that? Mary is Jesus' mother, and God is Jesus' Heavenly Father. As if Mary would go all the way up to Heaven and "have sex" with God. No, as a matter of fact, Mary did not know that God was Jesus' real father. Mary was married to Joseph who was Jesus' earthly father. The Holy Trinity is The Father, The Son, and the Holy Ghost. Jesus and God are one in the same. I suppose you got this false saying from an atheist or other non-believer. Don't listen to them. They only bring insanity.

Answer 3

God didn't physically have sex w/ Mary. She was overshadowed by the Holy Ghost. Jesus Christ wasn't 1/2 of anything. He was God manifested in the flesh. Besides, there is no such thing as a trinity. The Bible says that Jesus was God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.

Answer 4

Fully Both Mortal yet Divine Perfect Son of God You don't think God, The Father didn't also have perfect Y chromosomes too? OMGosh - of course He did.

Answer 5

Muslims think that Christians believe that God had sex with Mary. The Islamic Trinity is: Father, Mother, Son :)

Answer 6

Nah you won't get any interesting answers - stock standard religious answer is that God didn't have sex with Mary - just planted Jesus in there - she was a vessel only

Answer 7

Of course. You've hit upon one of the fundamental problems with the fable that is Christianity, it doesn't make any sense. Here's another one: Since the ten commandments don't say anything about torture or rape, are those things OK with God?

Answer 8

God never had sex with Mary.

Jesus is God and when here was here on earth He was fully God and fully human.

Answer 9

If man is made in God's image, doesn't that mean that God COULD have sex?

Answer 10

God didn't have sex
