He grew up as a fatherless child. He was born around the exact same time that his village was pillaged by Romans and the women were raped. Quite a coincidence.
His mother was also possibly a hooker.
Sometime before 180 CE a Greek philosopher named Celsus wrote a critique of Christianity called On the True Doctrine in which he imagines what a Jewish opponent of Christianity might have asked Jesus about his conception and birth:
“Is it not true, good sir, that you fabricated the story of your birth from a virgin to quiet rumors about the true and unsavory circumstances of your origins? Is it not the case that far from being born in royal David’s city of Bethlehem, you were born in a poor country town and of a woman who earned her living by spinning? Is it not the case that when her deceit was discovered, to wit, that she was pregnant by a Roman soldier named Panthera she was driven away by her husband – the carpenter – and convicted of adultery? Indeed, is it not so that in her disgrace, wandering far from home, she gave birth to a male child in silence and humiliation?”
Was Mary "on the game" as we say? Was she a "spinner"?
The actual father was possibly Tiberius Julius Abdes Pantera, an 18 year old Roman archer.
This means he was half Roman, half Jew.
He had FAITH that "God" was his father. Self-deception/Cope is an evolutionary adaptation and advantageous to survival/replication.
