Post #301 by onepoorguy on the Political Asylum board

When visiting Shrewd'm with a laptop, it can be pleasant to hold Command (or Ctrl with Windows) and '+' a few times. The site scales to allow any font size, and the larger font can be pleasant to read even for Shrewds with perfect sight! For luxury Shrewdness, you can combine that with setting the browser to full screen. You'll then find yourself Shrewding a lot.

Prior to being immaculately impregnated, was Mary asked?

Did she consent; say yes?

Probably not.

I read that it is as likely that she was raped by a Roman soldier as anything else. As occupying armies sometimes do.

Given the "purity" expectations of the time, it would have been better to say "I don't know how this happened, I'm still a virgin", than to claim rape (or that she found some stable boy really hot).

As Hitchens said: "Which is more likely — that the whole natural order is to be suspended, or that a jewish minx should tell a lie?"
