Matthew insults our intelligence in the first chapter of his gospel. He begins by tediously listing Jesus’ ancestors back to King David then drops the story of the virgin birth on us: Nope, Jesus didn’t have a father. How come the original readers didn’t catch this glaring non sequitur? And how come this is not the point that Christians today realize that Matthew was a fraud; and fling the New Testament into the trash?
