While I definitely don't believe in the perpetual virginity of Mary, there can clearly be a case made for it assuming that James is not a blood relative of Jesus. If one were to see Joseph as a widower who already had children who needed a mother, the concept of a virgin with a old impotent man is not something hard to see. Of course this is the case in the Gospel of James.
Of course the Gospel of James opens up the whole can of worms about Mary being a sinless being who runs faster than a speeding bullet, jumps tall buildings in a single bound, flies through the air, and has both heat/x-ray vision. Of course this Mary becomes powerless when exposed to genitalia. But regardless, the concept of perpetual virginity is not a far reach and deserves some thought.
Oh and as for Enoch I don't know what to say, Elijah has to come back so apparently you can't escape death. That said since Enoch did not die, he was probably taken and will likely get to have the same fun that Elijah gets to.

Does anyone else find it ironic that churches have crosses hanging while they wait for Jesus to return? That doesn't seem very welcoming to me.
