[Antoninus]

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.

Unless you have sex, you're subhuman. Is that it? What does that make Our Lord, then? Or are you an adherent of the Dan Brown religion that thinks Jesus was married and had kids with Mary Magdalene--lest he be considered "sub-human" by psychobabble-spouting-pseudo-scientists.

Unless you have sex, you're subhuman. Is that it? What does that make Our Lord, then?

The exception tests the rule. Our Lord was unmarried, which is a permissable, but generally less desirable, option. He wasn't defauding a spouse in a sham marriage, the sin some (not I!) accuse Mary of committing. (Did you ever see the movie Green Card? )

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?
