Wait a second. All virginal births are divine and all divine divine births are virginal or they would not be divine.

Important to know here is that myth is real and we are the illusion untill the virgin birth itself comes our way.

Excluding parthenogenesis I would agree with you on the first. But all divine births virginal? Dionysus was the result of the union of Zeus and Semele. What does it matter if Semele boinked the local Satyrs first?

It doesn't matter at all because the virginity here has nothing to do with boinking at all or God needs a penis to check it out for himself.

I wrote earlier that a virgin birth is needed to arrive at a divine comedy which only can be conceived to exist if a not-so-divine crisis moment is possible from where resurrection does not follow and hence in a tragedy ends.

In fact, if boinking around is sin it will be a credit towards this noble end since the laws were given to Moses not to stop the act that we call sin but to convict the actor of sin.
