What if God had actually planed it all along? Maybe, at the beginning of time, foreseeing that she/he would have to come down and put some order, thought: “Well, it’ll have to be a man, because people won’t listen to a woman in 1st century Palestine. Hmm… But then I won’t be female, I’ll be leaving out half of the human population. I know! I’ll make all human fetuses start as female. That’s better than nothing.”
What is Mary up to?
