A song I wrote about my parents.
I am not a professional musician, I am a broken human being.
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.
She wanted Jesus, first of all
and this was NOT rape in the slightest
the “greatly troubled” part is just her being afraid and in awe. Wouldn’t you be too if an angel of the Lord appeared before you?
You ignored the point.
Do you think she could have said no?
Do you understand the power dynamics?
It was rape.
Stop defending rape.
