the root of hatred ,suicide bomber. 72 virgin imaginary disire….

I wonder if we could solve the problem of suicide bombers by starting a religion that offers seventy three virgins and all the ice cream you can eat.

good idea ....

good idea ....

Well then….......there are two of us in this new religion.
I’ m not sure if seventy two virgins would lead to eternal bliss but I do like the ice cream thing.
You wanna be the leader?

Ok….......I guess I’ll be the leader.
A few ideas:
Hell will henceforth be any place where there is no ice cream.
And….....and….....golly this is hard.
We’re gonna have to come up with something so unbelievable that people will believe it.
Joseph Smith said that he saw purple angels on the moon….....about six feet tall.

I’m drawing a blank.

I do like the all white oreo cookies and milk.
Maybe they could be used in some sort of ritual.

It’s actually thought to refer to 72 raisins, not virgins. The mis-translation has just stuck. Again, we see how man-made this rubbish is.

Not wild about raisins, though I also feel that virgins are highly overrated.

For most of man’s history it was important to know if the baby being carried originated from his own loins.
Hence the focus on virginity.
No male animal evolved to raise the gene bundle of a rival.
It will take about a half a million years for DNA testing to alter the wiring and then virginity will probably slip into obscurity.

Dude, you routinely overthink things.  Unclench your brain.  Have you tried using marijuana?

All I’m saying is that “she’s a virgin” isn’t a selling point for me.  It would be a better reward if you gave me 72 women who were whores in a previous life.  I’d like to spend eternity playing, not teaching.

Then again, the gender of said virgins wasn’t specified.  Could end up just being a large Warcraft guild I’d be hanging out with, forever and ever.

A religion that encourages or requires women to be subservient discourages female experimentation and creativity.  If they behave like robots, I wouldn’t care if they were whores instead of virgins.  I’d still pass.
