This was written as a reply to a thread but it's be wasted there. Christianity was supposed to be a completely different religion to the one we know today. This post examines just one of the many ways that the Romans corrupted it to suit their pagan tastes, and robbed the world of what should have been.
The thing bible non-readers don't know is that Joseph was on his way to divorce Mary when an angel told him not to do it. So he's not a cuck, he was going to cut her loose to become a hooker had it been some other dude's kid. That said, Joseph was going to divorce her quietly, i.e., not have her stoned to death. I disagree with this, if she had committed adultery against him, she should be stoned for it, he should not obstruct justice. So he's a pussy, but not a cuck.
Now, Mary should be an even smaller footnote in the bible than Joseph. How did Christianity blow Mary up into what it has? Simple, they threw out the old testament. It's in the old testament that there's a curious prohibition, one that most people think is random and not relevant to the present day...
What's this got to do with Mary? Well, Mary's role in birthing Jesus is all fine and good, but look what she's been made into. Her role as his mother has been emphasized, and her role as Joseph's wife and subordinate has been deleted. Whose wife is she, then? She has been made into God's wife, his Asherah. And from this follow many things:

Asherah is the name of the Canaanite fertility goddess who is the wife of the patriarch of the gods. She is analogous to Hera/Juno. The patriarch of the gods, he is called Anu in the Sumerian pantheon, but in the Canaanite pantheons he is called El. El is one of the epithets for the God of Abraham, and it features in many biblical names like Samuel, Michael, Gabriel, etc. Hence, planting Asherah trees beside altars to God was a thing people would naturally do as they started mixing pagan practices into the religion. Asherah trees are forbidden because they are specific violation of the general law against idolatry.“You shall not plant any tree as an Asherah beside the altar of the Lord your God that you shall make. (Deuteronomy 16:21)

And from this follow many things:
- Mary is "first among the saints"
- Mary is the "queen of heaven"
- Mary is the "all-mother"
- Calling out to Mary to "save us"
