Many people believe that the "immaculate conception" was Mary being raped by a Roman soldier and then denying the event to avoid the beating of an adulteress.

One little problem with this theory, along with every other theory related to the "historical" Jesus....there is not one piece of evidence to support it.

I didn't say "most", I said "many". Which could be 100 or 1,000 people. But it is a discussion I've had several times on other boards.

To quote or illustrious moderator Grad21; this thread has gotten way off topic. In closing. I do have to say that after looking into the historical Jesus for over 10 years it's shocking how much evidence there really is to support his existence. If you ever have 10 minutes, following the link

The Immaculate Conception in Catholicism refers to the conception and birth of Mary without original sin. It has absolutely nothing to do with the conception of Jesus.
