There's no "wow" about it. Instead of being a pig, the guy's a bigoted pig, that's all. He would have gone ahead and defiled her if she had answered no.

early Friday morning after going outside for a cigarette She obviously fooled the rapist into thinking she was a Christian. Everyone knows Christians don't smoke!!

"Please, God. Please, God, no. God, please, no," That is a prayer?!?
Not in today's language most people use "God" as an adjective or explative, which is what it sounds like in this case.
Slow news day I guess.

It seems as if we Calvinists here have the only Biblical explaination of what happened:
For I also withheld you from sinning against Me; therefore I did not let you touch her. ~ The Lord (Gen 20:6)

"That is a prayer?!?"
Yes, and a perfectly acceptable one. God's not concerned that the words be flowery or that we even express in a manner that is understandable to humans what it is we are praying about. He knows the heart, the soul the mind. As scripture says, the Spirit intercedes for us when we don't know what to pray.

17)And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.
18) And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
19) Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
20) Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
Luke 10:17-20 KJV

Something similar happened to my wife in Colorado Springs late at night on a deserted street. Some guy pulled over got out and shoved a gun in her face and said, "get in the car". No way she was going to get in the car, so she started praying, and receiting the Lord's Prayer. The guy said somethng like "oh, hell with you", hopped back in the car and drove off.
Moral: Don't get in the car no matter what.
