She also could have been the victim of rape and Joseph trying to protect her, instead of her being a cheater and Joseph being dumb. If they both did exist of course.

Jesus did exist too but he was a regular human and some kind of pop star at the time

Hence Jesus Christ Superstar

I doubt he was a pop star at the time as the genre pop wasn't invented back then :P

That's why I wrote "some kind of"

Never thought about it. Thank you.

The prospect of Jesus never existing (and therefore Christianity) if that Roman soldier didn’t rape Mary is also unsettling.

She could also have been a hotwife and he could have been a cuckold. The possibilities are endless.

What's impossible is the holy ghost impregnating her.
