>>Why? Nobody has ever died a virgin?<<

Two things:
1. Not married women.
2. There is no reason whatsoever to suggest that she did. At least not in the bible. Not one. I honestly do not understand what would compel a person to even teach such claptrap. I can see a new Christian reading the bible and maybe getting a first impression that that may have happened, but further reading, or discussion with anyone with an adults understanding of His word would put that idea to bed soundly.

I disagree. 1. A virgin wed to an aged man could and 2. There is no evidence in the Bible she wasn't a virgin even after the birth of Jesus. Why this is impossible after the Incarnation doesn't make a lot of sense. It doesn't make a lot of sense either to have another child after you just gave birth to the Son of God.
