    Just to dump more gasoline…

    … Mary didn’t- and couldn’t- give meaningful consent.

    Gabriel told her how it was, and she was like ‘okay’… but between the power imbalance and the consequences of not bringing the savior of the entire freaking world into the world… it’s basically a gun to the head of all humanity.

    You forgot the one little fact that said virgin was 13 at the time of impregnation.

      It gets better.

      The Greek word that’s eventually translated to English “virgin” means unwed. (I have no source at hand to support that.)

      Let’s employ Occam’s razor.

      Mary (lit. Beloved) is just some dirt poor farmers daughter who got knocked up and ran away to the next village with her boy friend. Gave birth in a barn.

      Then 25 years later this dude shows up again, a carpenter by trade, and is a total hippie.

      Then all his mates write down his adventures in letters to each other.
