After a while he pushed her to the ground and tried to rape her. She resisted, but being a very petite female didn't stand much chance. She started praying to Jesus. Suddenly her date looked up and behind her with a startled face, and ran away. She had no idea why, but the next day talked with him who told her a very tall man glowing in light was standing behind her and scared him away.

This is a true story, and I have others. All it takes is a faith in God. I would recommend Jesus since there are many other stories I can share. All you have to do is invite Jesus into your heart, and ask for forgiveness. Jesus will save you. God is real.
(emphasis is mine)

Why should we believe this story is anything other than pure fabrication. You keep going on and on about "free will" this, "free will" that and "free will" the other, yet, your "aunt's" prayer got an answer that violated your most holy (bullshit) belief. The "free will" of the rapist. Something you claim gawd won't do.

I would have just kicked him in the balls.

Praying to an imaginary being seems an unreliable for of rape prevention.

Seems as effective as, "Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're our only hope!"

Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni:

"You did WHAT?  With WHO?  WHERE???"
