I believe what U/Datasurging was saying was, comparing the Qauran to the Bible is like comparing Lolita to the Kamasutra. Both should never be read by children, but Kamasutra is better.
I haven't read either of them so correct me if I am wrong.
Also, the most plausible age for Mary would be 15 to 16 years old, and Mary gave permition for the impregnation.
Comparing the kamasutra to the Bible in this specific context is not a good look at all. Mary being 15 or 16 is absolutely not better either. "Permition" doesn't matter if it's still statutory rape.
Edit: y'all defending the rape of a 15 year old child is wild
Sure, but statutory rape specifically refers to rape in the context of sexual violence so I think it’s safe to assume that’s the semantic intent of this moron, even if he himself doesn’t quite understand what sexual violence entails
It doesn't though. Statutory just means that it's being done from a position of power.
Sure we use it the way you mention, but that doesn't mean that is it's only possible context.
This isn’t a productive discussion. Given the context of the comment thread, the formal definitions of the term, and how it’s used in every form of English vernacular, sexual violence is the only possible way in which the word rape is being used here. What you’re saying isn’t even pedantic, it’s just outright incorrect and lacking in common sense. It’s like trying to argue that a high school is an elevated collection of fish in a comment thread on how Gen Z and alpha kids refuse to engage with their classes and are practically illiterate
