You really found a winner here...
What the hell is he even trying to ask, exactly? Why does he expect that Christians would sit and ponder Jesus' fingering habits in detail? What's his fixation on fingering? Does he think fingering is wrong? It sounds like he does, which seems like an odd moral judgment coming from an atheist, unless there's an atheist sexual morality crusade out there somewhere.
This actually made me laugh out loud despite their intentional perverseness. Their accusation that Jesus didn't engage in immorality because he was scared of girls is like saying everyone who is chaste is sexually dysfunctional.
Jesus was raised in an religious household; a blended family of numerous brothers and sisters. He grew up around females and was taught by his mother as well as his father. The bible doesn't talk about his attraction to females, not because he was "scared" of them, but rather he was more interested in fulfilling his ministry.
Secondly, growing up, he understood that the religious leaders of his day assigned undue stress upon the people with their unlawful, laborious practices and rituals. This obviously would have included the poor treatment of women as demonstrated by men who were granted divorce on ridiculous and spurious grounds so they could marry younger wives.
However, unlike those religious leaders, Jesus had a strong affinity for women. The woman at the well was a Samaritan; a people well-known to be hated by Jews. His striking up a conversation with her was unconscionable in that religious climate. He cured the old woman with a grievous blood flow issue that made her unclean in the eyes of the Law and commended her for her faith. He treated the woman who wept at his feet and washed them with her hair with deep empathy. He consoled Mary and Martha and cried with them when he learned of their brother Lazarus's death, knowing full well he could raise the man. When he was dying, he made sure his mother was taken care of after he passed, caring for others right to his end. When he was resurrected as a spirit, he appeared to women first, before his own disciples. Yes, Jesus had an affection and deep respect for the opposite sex.
Again, the idea that Jesus was scared of girls is nonsense espoused by atheists who've never bothered to read the Bible or are intent on being intellectually dishonest. Besides, after learning about his purpose to die on behalf of all mankind so it could have a relationship with God, starting a family he knew he would have to leave behind 3 years later would be out of harmony with his loving and caring personality.
