Why would a religious virgin in her late 50s still think about having kids and getting married?

There is this woman of 58 years old on another website I frequent and she lives in the deep South of the States.
She is very religious and she has remained a virgin her entire life. She has recently gotten into a relationship with a mechanic who never has time for her so she never sees him.
The other day she started talking about her getting married and having kids. She was serious and not joking.

I wonder if this person is so naive that she doesn’t realise that she’s way too old to fulfill her dreams or if she thinks religion will miraculously help her get pregnant at her age, or yet another possibility: that she has not gone through menopause yet and is still fertile?

Well Sarah was around a hundred when Isaac was born.

@robb65 Who are Sarah and Isaac? Creatures from the bible? I mean scientific resources say that it’s impossible for her to get pregnant at her age. She even believes that she has time to build a whole new life. I mean, she’s 58, she has maybe 20-25 years left. I wonder if she is within her right mind for thinking she is young enough to chase her dreams when she’s almost 60?

@MarieJaneWatson Well you did say she was very religious.

I have known women who had periods into their late 50's. It may be somewhat unlikely that she could, but not entirely impossible.

@robb65 Are people in the deep South all so disconnected from modern era as this woman is? She went around saying to lesbian women “ try Jesus because you are going to get an incureable disease from your homosexuality “ and she calls herself “girl” when “grandma” would be more accurate.

@MarieJaneWatson Some are. Very little surprises me anymore.

@robb65 I was literally shocked that there are people who take a 2000 year old book literally. That there are people who still would throw their child out for being gay. That there are still people who believe abortion is murder.
Honestly I was shocked that extremism in the name of a religion even exists in the usa in 2019.
I thought I was thrown back to the 1950s when I frequented that website.
And they are not even open to science. They only want to believe what is written down in a book from 2 millenia ago.

@MarieJaneWatson Just remember,here in Alabama we had the little elf for a senator who thought the KKK were the good guys until he discovered they smoked pot.
