Shooting reported at Paris magazine Charlie Hebdo

[Arctish]

you mean Moses?

Moses was a rapist?

It's not clear if Moses kept one of the little virgin Midianite girls for himself. He did tell his soldiers they could have the little girls after they killed all the older girls, women, and the boy captives. So that would make him a rape facilitator if not an actual rapist.

No Yahweh did you read about him asking for consent before he knocked Mary up? Nope he just impregnated her and then let her know.

No, Mary agreed. Gabriel was his wingman:

Luke 1:26-38
Luke 1

In the sixth month, God
sent the angel Gabriel to
Nazareth, a town in Galilee,
to a virgin pledged to be
married to a man named
Joseph, a descendant of
David. The virgin’s name was
Mary.

The angel went to her
and said, “Greetings, you who
are highly favored! The Lord
is with you.”

Mary was greatly troubled
at his words and wondered
what kind of greeting this
might be.

But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid,
Mary, you have found favor
with God. You will be with
child and give birth to a son,
and you are to give him the
name Jesus. He will be great
and will be called the Son of
the Most High. The Lord God
will give him the throne of his
father David, and he will
reign over the house of Jacob
forever; his kingdom will
never end.”

“How will this be,” Mary
asked the angel, “since I am a
virgin?”

The angel answered, “The
Holy Spirit will come upon
you, and the power of the
Most High will overshadow
you. So the holy one to be
born will be called the Son of
God. Even Elizabeth your
relative is going to have a
child in her old age, and she
who was said to be barren is
in her sixth month. For
nothing is impossible with
God.”

“I am the Lord’s servant,”
Mary answered. “May it be to
me as you have said.”

Then the angel left her.

Could she say no to God?

Satan did.

In the real world Muslims respect pedophilia violence and barbarianism, they all respect a guy named Muhammad who was a violent pedophile barbarian and think he is the ideal human.

When you have something even remotely intelligent to contribute to the discussion, let us know.

Violent? They were originally bandits.

Pedophile? How old was Aisha?

Barbarian? This term is subjective.

I believe the way the story goes, she was chosen specifically for her obedience to God, among other virtues. I've always taken that to mean that yes, if she had said she didn't want to do it, she wouldn't have been impregnated with baby Jesus.

I dunno. The power imbalance is so strong (infinite in fact) that I think you could imply coercion at the very least. And who is to say she wasn't drunk? Is this rape? <snip>
