In reply to the discussion: Nun receives death threats for suggesting Mary was not a virgin [View all]Fix The Stupid
(947 posts)25. Comedy gold...I mean...really?
Look at the language and the words being used in this thread...made up bullshit terminology and definitions and people are just eating it up....defending it, trying to define it for us...simply hilarious.
I love how they capitalize certain words too... "this word here is so fucking serious,, so fucking divine, I need to capitalize it..."
What year is it again? 2017 or 517?

I don't believe she remained a virgin. I have no issue with people believing she did.
