Yeah I feel like giving birth in general will set your child up for a life of unavoidable pain and suffering regardless if God puts them on a pedestal or not
But not everyone dies by being specifically tortured and crucified.
There's also a bit of a difference between being born to be murdered and being born to live, with the dying just being incidental.
It's the difference between a pet dog and a lamb bred for slaughter.
i went to a christian school and we had bible class and my teacher actually just held a class one day where we as a group talked about mary and her emotions regarding this. it was actually really cool because you got to hear even the class clown get real for a second and be like “yeah idk how she did it. i can’t imagine holding your child knowing they are the savior of humanity but will also go through a great deal of pain before that”. that bible teacher was really cool. he encouraged discussions of all religion and i remember one girl asked about buddhism and he only knew the basics so at the end of the week he came back with all this information to tell us about. good teacher. good guy.

Okay, but everyone is going to die? So what about that would make her special?
