The above was retweeted by blogger Ace of Spades. Here’s his reaction:
What author Valerie Tarico is saying is that the horrible message of the Virgin Birth is that virginity is a good thing. (Also, men who want to be sure of the paternity of their children are evil — after all, according to St. Matthew’s Gospel, St. Joseph, before the angel appeared to him, was "was minded to put her away".)
Tarrico’s original title, when the article was published on Alternet, was
Why the Christian Virgin Birth Is Seriously Messed Up
The birth story of baby Jesus celebrates the promise of new life, but for girls it also sends a harmful message.
