Supposing Jesus could be born of a virgin, why would he choose to? If we consider him as an enlightened teacher showing us how to also become enlightened, what would he teach us by being born without a father? That being born with a father makes us less enlightened or makes it harder to become enlightened?
It's easy to believe he was born of a virgin if you also believe that he's both man and God and we're just ordinary humans. But if you believe we're all both human and God, with the potential to become just as enlightened as he was, then it doesn't make sense to also believe he was a virgin.
