A community of people praising some local guy as the son of god and repeating that message for 2,000 years and creating a massive global cult that caused wars, genocide and many untold miseries on the population while also enriching, educating and leading global movements

    And the fact it was all caused because some chick get pregnant and her excuse was that god wanted to fuck and like who is gonna say no to that? And her husband believed her.

    The feature of that story always made me wonder how girls tried that over the centuries before one girl eventually had her story stick

    One girl? It's actually a super common thing in myths for gods to go down and make themselves a little demigod. Mary lived in a very hellenised region. So I imagine those type of myths were known to people there via the greeks. She was just following a long tradition.
