If you have to explain the joke it wasn't funny.  Yes, on first reading 
I got the suggestion that the Alices were descended from Christ. 
But...I didn't care.  Whereas with the previous one it was funny that 
Lina's only loved one is herself and that A-Ko accidentally confesses to 
loving B-Ko in this one, giving it a punchline, in this one you just 
have an insufficiently developed speculation.  There's no climax to it. 
   The suggestion is neither amusing nor shocking to me.  I don't think 
you can make this idea work as a spamfic but it could work as the basis 
a full story in which, for example, the Vatican sponsors of the 
Witchhunters from Witchhunter Robin are frantically trying to cover up 
the suggestion that all of the Alice/Witches were actually descendants 
of Jesus.
