A childhood belief about getting pregnant

From the ages of 12 to 14, I believed that if I were bad, God could make me pregnant as punishment. I was terrified I'd become pregnant for just thinking bad thoughts, and my family would think I had sex. I always wondered how I would explain to them that I didn't have sex, I was just impregnated by God like the Virgin Mary. I don't know why I believed this, I knew how babies were made, and I wasn't religious, but the idea just popped into my head one day and stayed there. I had some crazy ideas back then...
