<< And let's not forget Abraham- he was willing to kill his own son for the voices in his head. >>

How about the story of Joseph and Mary. He found out Mary was pregnant, while they were supposed to get married. He was going to hide her pregnancy. (Matthew't:1:19: Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.) But, he also had voices in his head, from a dream, that she was made pregnant by a holy ghost.

This is according to the bible. Mary didn't tell Joseph that she was made pregnant by a ghost, the embarrassed Joseph came up with it in a dream.

If Mary didn't know, does that mean that she was not a willing participant in this pregnancy? If a woman is not a willing participant to an act that makes her pregnant, I wonder what they call that?
