Sorry if you got the impression that I am Christian. I am atheist and believe that we have to avoid resorting to the same kind of fantasy arguments that theists use.

That is why I feel that throwing out conjectures as if they were facts is contrary to a sound reasoning necessary to overcome theist thinking.

Thank you for taking time to look up the knowledge that are the basis of your argument.

I remain unconvinced because just the possibility of another meaning does not pose a convincing case for that alternate meaning to be the "correct" one.

The notion that there is a correct version of the story that is different than the current bible interpretation is probably also harmful because it entertains the possibility that any version is correct. But I think knowing the current version of the fantasy story is probably good so you can take it to pieces if necessary.

Do you have a source on your claim? Why do you say this when it's completely false? You are spreading misinformation.

    a virgin
        a marriageable maiden
        a woman who has never had sexual intercourse with a man
        one's marriageable daughter
   
    a man who has abstained from all uncleanness and whoredom attendant on idolatry, and so has kept his chastity
        one who has never had intercourse with women

I read the article but didn't find the exception. What is it worded like?
