The helenisticand anti-biblical horror of sexuality makes a totem out of repudiating a vital component of human experience, and of God's image in humanity. The BVM of mariolatry, like little blue Krishna, is a neutered subhuman. You think virgins are neutered subhumans? Someone who hasn't had sex just isn't truly human?
Revelation speaks of a 144,000 men who have not "defiled themselves with women". The word used indicates ritual impurity, not sin. Those are 144,000 male virgins. It doesn't say that they're neutered subhumans.
John the Baptist? A neutered subhuman?
I am referring to a specific case of virginity, that imputed to the BVM, who is believed by some Christians to have wickedly defrauded her lawful spouse.
I think better of her.
