    What? Mary was allegedly a virgin when she became pregnant with Jesus, but that’s not what immaculate conception is about.

      I thought immaculate conception was the idea that Christians had about heritable sin from Adam and Eve, and that when Mary was conceived the sin associated with humanity in general skipped her somehow. Virgin birth, something separate, was Mary making Jesus via parthogenesis and Bible magic. Someone correct me if I’m wrong I grew up in a cult so I got half of this off the internet.
