4. I'm an atheist, so I don't believe it, but I can understand why others do.

I used to be a Christian, and at the time I believed in the virgin birth. I saw it as a miracle, a mystery of faith. It's a matter of faith in the power of God, and it's not really something that can be explained.

Since then, I've lost my faith, but I don't think people who haven't lost that faith are stupid. I can respect that Christians who believe in the virgin birth are logical and intelligent, even if I don't personally share in that belief.
