I grew up going to church. In the churches I always went to part of the required reading was a book called the Bible. There's a story in that book of a woman that God actually did want to be pregnant. It was part of "God's Plan". So he snapped his fingers (just guessing here as I wasn't present, but a finger snap feels right) and said "Hey Mary, you're pregnant".
So if a 13 year-old rape victim is part of God's Plan, what happened? Did he lose the recipe for baby making? Is he bored or losing his mind? Did the audiences back in the day say "That was cool and all, but next time maybe make it a little more violent? Perhaps a beating or a rape? Or both!" If he wanted the virgin thing to be special just for his own family, that's cool. But the God we're talking about created the whole universe. If he wanted women to get pregnant, it seems like he could find another non-violent option to accomplish the goal. Like magical water that impregnates some women when they shower or something. Or, give that baby to one of the families desperately praying to get pregnant instead of someone desperately praying to pass her math test.
I just find it interesting that in the one documented case (that I'm aware of) where God's plan was to have a woman be pregnant, he found a far classier option than rape to accomplish that goal. Poor guy knocks up one chick with a little hoo-doo and suddenly he's taking the heat for ALL the unwanted pregnancies out there.
For what it's worth, while growing up in those churches, I did from time to time hear the "It's horrible, but we don't know God's plan and this is how he wanted it" sermon. Interesting side note: it's the same sermon you'll hear a year later if the baby tragically dies. I don't know the whole plan, but it seems like it would be more efficient to stop killing the kids we already have to make room for babies people don't want.
