The Virgin Birth, the Male Birth

Yet more evidence that the New Woke Orthodoxy is a religion that replaced the old Christian orthodoxy: they both require belief in immaculate conception miracles. Christianity had as one of its founding doctrines the idea that a virgin miraculously gave birth; the New Orthodoxy has as one of its central doctrines the idea that a man can miraculously give birth. Five centuries ago, if you had asked an independent observer who had never encountered Christianity which would be more miraculous, a virgin giving birth or a man giving birth, she likely would say the latter. The “rational optimists” who encourage us to abandon the old orthodoxy and embrace “rationality” are not themselves being rational. Those who took the Pinker/Dawkins/Ridley advice and “progressed beyond” Christianity only embraced a new irrationality that requires just as much faith to accept, but employs medieval methods of enforcement. A thousand years ago you could lose your job for refusing to believe in a virgin birth, now you can lose your job for failing to believe in a man birth. Is there any doubt that this is a regress to barbarism?
