If you were Mary, how would you tell your fiance that you were pregnant but that you had not been unfaithful? Add to this the fact that you had been gone for three months, and you were now three months pregnant. Who would believe you? How would you convince Joseph? There is no reason to believe that Mary even tried. There is evidence to the contrary -- she let God do the talking. How much better off would we be if we followed her example?
