I was on another platform when I saw an account celebrate the mythological rape of Persephone by Hades. I replied something to the extent of "how vile and foul. Pedophilia should be condemned in all its forms."
Much to my shock, this person and their friends wholeheartedly believe such events took place. The rape was a real occurrence that they choose to celebrate.
I was blown away. It gave me the Heebie Jeebies.
People have strange values. And it's important to remember, polytheists are not immune from them.

People are weird, I guess. I just hate to see something that dark in someone's religious beliefs. But it's not just the polytheists. I see this nonsense with extremist monotheists.
Just a strange set of affairs.

God rape is 'free speech" according to a new bill before Congress. Well, not really, but sounds feasable right now.

This time of year should be the celebration of her conditional release. The Persephone myth is supposed to explain the seasons' cycle.
As for the raping, there's a lot of assuming going on here. They could be playing cribbage and y'all wouldn't know the difference.

Persephone raped by Hades stupid immoral mythology
Mary raped and impregnated by the holy spirit world changing miraculous event and the basis for the two largest "moral" religions in the world.

Such is the "critical reasoning" of the theologian

I guess I don’t remember that story. I just remember she was stuck in the underworld because of a trick and had to return there for a few months each year because she ate pomegranate seeds while she was down there.
