Clearly a case of criminaly psychotic MPD. As Havelock Ellis said, "The whole religious complexion of the modern world is due to the absence from Jerusalem of a lunatic asylum."

The veneration of Mary is one of the reasons why Protestants don't regard Catholics as Christians. Then there's the Trinity thing. Persona means "mask" but is used to indicate character. If Jesus is just Yahweh in disguise, then why did he cried out "father, why have thou forsaken me" on the cross? Doesn't god know what he himself does or was god experiencing some schizophrenic episode? How come the 3 personalities of God showed up at the same time during Jesus' baptism? *scratches head* Are Jay and Mo holding hands under the counter?

In Ptolemaic Egypt she was described as a Virgin whereas earlier versions of ISIS she is not a Virgin but immaculately conceives by impregnating herself with the dismembered Phallus of Osiris. (The Greeks were more keen on sexual "purity" than the Egyptians.) In fact the whole Christian myth smacks of Egyptian mythology filtered through Greek and Platonic puritanism. Which is not surprising when you consider Imperial Rome was awash with exotic Eastern cults. The cult of ISIS, sometimes called STELLA MARIS at the time, being one of the most popular which, to some extent, can be said to still exist as the cult of Mary amongst Catholics.

In Ancient Greek, a young, unmarried woman was called a "parthenos," which, because a young, unmarried woman was USUALLY a virgin, was understood later to mean "a virgin." Which is like assuming anyone whose name starts with "Miss" is a virgin. Once the Fathers of the Church began going on about a virgin birth, they had to come up with a whole series of Russian Doll theories that included Mary's mother, and Mary's mother's mother -- because how could a "perfect vessel" be borne by a mother who was not perfect (the perfect vessel of the prefect vessel) herself? There are actually three cases of antenatal sanctification, in fact: Jeremiah, John the Baptist, and Mary. Mary was apparently sanctified "in utero," if I'm to understand the prevailing theory correctly -- which explains away the sins that would normally have followed her into the womb and out into the world. In fact, virgin births had apparently been part of other religious stories (non-christian) before Mary came along, and that's why the idea was so attractive. It was possibly a melding of the Christian story and a pagan story. The whole idea of the Virgin birth comes from an etymological error.
