May your word to me be fulfilled.'IDK, it wasn't like he was asking permission. He was just saying what would happen. And as there was a sort of slave/master relationship between God and humans, meaning disobeying God just isn't something you can do, did she really have a choice? Or was she just informed of what was going to happen, and then accepted it like an obedient little slave girl.
Hard to make the case for rape when consent is pretty clear.

No one knows who wrote it, but you can find it in either the first or second chapter of Luke.

I'm not saying it's out and out rape, but I am saying this isn't what anyone nowadays would call clear consent, either. If a very overbearing father tells his 12 year old daughter that he's going to impregnate her, she might have the same response. Would we call it consent, then?

Unless theists are willing to concede that god has DNA.
Or, it's all a fantasy.
Maybe Jesus is made of midichlorians.
Agreed. I wouldn't call this rape, but Mary's response definitely wasn't consent, but rather submission. She had no other option but to reject and therefore be "demonized" just like Zechariah, John the Baptist's father. It's not like she could've just said no to God.
