I never said that I took it literally, I am not, in fact, even christian. I don't even really belong to a mainstream religion at all, I was just wondering about that idea during class and decided to ask other peoples opinions about it. And no I do not personally believe that God is Jesus' father or that Jesus is part of a Trinity that makes up a divine being.
And the whole virgin thing is actually the church taking one meaning of a word that has two meanings, virgin can also mean "Young Woman".
As for Joseph being Jesus' biological father, you cannot prove that he was or that God was, that is why it is a matter of faith, and since you cannot prove either theory right or wrong, it makes each theory just as valid as the other.
