They sing a lot of songs about religion that are meant to be taken sarcastically, but I don't believe this is. Mary is a figure in christianity that you can't really make fun of. Sure you can doubt the virginity aspect, but you can't not feel for the woman who's child was taken from her. Who was meant to "save the world". I believe they're giving a human persona to the mother of christ. That she was an individual with feelings.
