Oh come on, who could believe a story about a female conceiving a child without intercourse…that would be like some sort of immaculate conception…..okay never mind
maybe funny for us in the decadent west. but somehow an unmarried pregnant thirteen year old muslim from Egypt doesn’t conjure up thoughts of a happy future. if i were the parent or the poor girl i would be scrambling for any explanation other than the obvious one.

I am pretty sure that my (abstinence-only) high-school health class taught us this was possible.

Sex in a pool is one thing…but that’s not what they meant, I suppose….

No, they taught us that one could get pregnant from encountering loose sperm in a pool.

Well, I suppose if you believe God is in everything, then a pool is … a plausible catalyst.
I need to be more careful on my Middle-East vacations.
