I hear conflicting reports on the God conceived Jesus with Mary thing, which is why I said God/Holy Spirit. But God physically coming down and fornicating with Mary is one of those things that alarms me.
I am not Catholic or Orthodox, I grew up Baptist and have drifted in a Reformed and Lutheran direction as I've gotten older. Catholicism and Orthodoxy's doctrines on Mary also alarm me, as it often gets dangerously close to putting her on the same pedastal as God.
But I also think that smearing the mother of God is a dangerous game. I see a lot of protestants doing it trying to counter what Catholics do and that shit can get vile.
But to the point, if it says she was a virgin, she was a virgin.
