(=Twitter Is Going Crazy Over This Gay Nativity Scene=)
Sorry, but this is physically impossible. There's got to be a mother somewhere, unless you are going to say it is a miracle, but then if you believe in miracles, why wouldn't you believe in what the Bible says in the first place . . .?

Honey, honey, honey! Jesus' conception is already physically impossible; he already has two fathers (Joseph and God). Why not a third one? If God can impregnate Mary without intercourse, he's well able to produce a child with no woman in the mix.
If you want the actual parents at the Nativity, you need the Holy Sprit and Mary there, no-one else. Joseph is already superfluous.
I don't believe in miracles, no. I don't believe that Jesus ever existed, and IF he did, biology-wise he was just an ordinary human being, formed by fusion of human egg and human sperm.
You know, it's not either/or. I can believe in miracles and still figure that the Bible story is full of shit.
I just think someone else is responsible for the miracle.
Anyway, the whole point of the Nativity is not to say 'This is what happened,' it's to say 'God's a lot like you people.' God being born in a manger meant that God was not just accessible to Kings, or nobles, or rich people, or the Roman oppressors.
God was for everyone, all the way down to the shepherds and the telemarketers. So if people see something of themselves in the nativity, maybe they'll be open to your god...
MPREG makes for weird fanfiction, but if you already believe in talking snakes, talking donkeys, raining frogs, zombies walking around, cloning, then why balk at that?
@Dr. Razark, Did I just see someone arguing that the bible is true because
miracles don't happen?
Amazing the knots that fundies can tie themselves into.
@Malingspann
There is in the fundies favor, for your idea, the concept of parthenogenesis. In parthenogenesis, a female basically clones herself, bearing offspring with only her own DNA.
Points to consider:
1. No case of mammalian parthenogenesis is known at all. Personally to my knowledge it only seems to happen with some fish and amphibians.
2. The offspring, being a clone of the mother, is obviously always female as well. No known case of parthenogenesis producing male offspring is known.
3. Because of the nature of parthenogenesis, no sexual contact is required at all. In fact, those animals that can reproduce with this method only do so when males are completely non-present for a significant period of time. And they are also animals that don't appear to engage in sexual activities for pleasure, and so also don't appear to demonstrate homosexual tendencies. Unlike every endothermic animal, including humans, on the planet.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
