Yes, from a non-Christian perspective there probably exists a lot of "baloney" in it also. It's just that with Christianity being the most dominant American religion it doesn't get called on it--like Mormonism does.

>>I mean - "Mommy, I swear, I got pregnant by God...Really... I wasn't fooling around"<< Explaining her pregnancy to her mother would only have happened after Mary had explained it to Joseph, which strikes me as being a tougher conversation. Unless it was a story they cooked up together. But in fact, I doubt very much that any such story was told by anyone involved at the time of Jesus' birth. The whole story about the star, the Kings and the Wise Men bears the hallmarks of something made up after the fact.
