    I doubt Mary or Joseph ever existed.

      Suggesting some rando carpenter from Nazareth sprung forth from nothing rather than having parents like a normal person is way more religious than even what the Christians claim.

      Next you’ll be trying to tell me Pontus Pilate was fictional too, LOL!

      (This is meant to be lightheated ribbing, and a gentle reminder that disbelieving miraculous religious BS doesn’t require also nonsensically abandoning belief in the mere existence of documented historical figures. Apologies in advance if I didn’t get the tone quite right to convey that.)
