Christians use the prophecy of Isaiah to prop up their false virgin birth myth.

The English translation is incorrect. The word in Isaiah is 'almah' and does not mean a virgin. Many translators claim that it means, 'young woman' but that is not the actual meaning, although 'young woman' can be implied. 'Almah' means a 'maiden' of any age, or a ritually pure maiden--not a virgin. It means a woman who is ritually clean from keeping her covenant. The word is not about bedroom habit in any way, shape, or form.

In the New Testament, the Greek word, 'parthenos' is used, and is translated as 'virgin' then interpreted again in the vein of 'bedroom habits'. Once again, this is a false rendering, as 'parthenos' is in reference to the woman being ritually pure, meaning she is a 'virgin' who has not cheated on her God with idols. Even in modern English 'virgin' can refer to someone doing something the first time as a 'virgin'. We call uncut forest, 'virgin timber'. This is the sense in which 'almah' and 'parthenos' are being used in the Bible.

Babies are not conceived without a human father. Period. Joseph the husband of Miriam is the literal, biological father of Jesus of Nazareth. The Christian dogma of the 'virgin birth' and 'immaculate conception' is nonsense.

Blame the gnostic church 'fathers' for imposing this virgin birth myth into the Bible, and confusing people for 1800+ years.

No one in their right mind considers it a miracle for a young woman to conceive. It is considered a miracle in the Bible when a barren woman conceives. We see this with Abraham and Sarah, and again with the conception of John the Baptist.

People pretend to study the bible for years or decades and it never dawns on them how many times God calls Israel a harlot for fornicating with idols, and how he is going to have 'virgins' to worship him. By 'virgins' is meant those who have not committed spiritual fornication with false gods. It is not about bedroom habits.
