Deuteronomy 22:25 But if a man discovers, in the countryside, a girl who has been betrothed, and, apprehending her, he lies with her, then he alone shall die.

Deuteronomy 22:26 The girl shall suffer nothing, nor is she guilty unto death. For just as a robber rises up against his brother and slays his life, so also did the girl suffer greatly.

The Bible does not condone rape, it speaks out against it.

And the word is "Son", not "child". I don't think a 10 year old occupies himself with carousing and feasting

Wrong.

What happened when Sarah's slave ran away after being raped? God sent an angel to tell her to go back and have the child for her rapists.

Why did god explicitly command Moses and his army to take child sex slaves?

Why would god have David's wives raped if he did not condone it?

Even Mary was raped. The angel did not ask her consent, he told her she was going to give birth.

Fuck you for defending rape, stupid death cultist.

People are dying because you're a hopeless, selfish idiot.

Genesis 16:3-15.

Luke 1:38 Then Mary said: “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. Let it be done to me according to your word.” And the Angel departed from her.

I said:

The angel did not ask her consent, he told her she was going to give birth.

You quoted the bible:

Luke 1:38 Then Mary said: “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. Let it be done to me according to your word.” And the Angel departed from her.

But you conveniently left out the fucking rape immediately before that:

29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 30 But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. 31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. 32 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, 33 and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”

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

35 The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on 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. 36 Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. 37 For no word from God will ever fail.”

What were her options? Say "no" and be damned to hell, or have a baby she doesn't want?

Her consent was not a factor. It was rape.
