Southern Fried Catholicism, Part II
Another gem from Mrs. Caveman
The House Sergeant Major was doing some reading about the wrong-headed muslim belief that their so-called "martyrs" have 72 virgins to minister to their every need when they attain Paradise.
Now I've posted before on Mrs. Caveman's smack-you-in-the-back-of-your-head common sense observations. This one is no exception.
The boss was just stunned as she asked me "do they really believe 72 virgins will be there for everything they want?" And I know what she meant by everything. All I could do was simply say "well... yes."
She stopped and thought about it for a second, and then she tipped her head to the side in that charming way that all Southern Ladies do, then she gave the even more famous dismissive wave that all Southern Ladies do as she muttered something about "them crazy moslems" and walked away.
Thanks to Mrs. Caveman, it dawned on me... I just don't know if I can take seriously any so-called "religion" where their main motivation for getting to heaven revolves around their crotch.
Would that make then Phallo-Salvific-Centric?

The part not often mentioned is that besides the 72 virgins mentioned in the Koran there are also 28 beardless men awaiting them also.
The “beardless young boys described as “boys of perpetual freshness; if thou seest them, thou wouldst think them as scattered pearls, dressed in silk and brocade, and embellished with bracelets of silver.” (76:10-25)
I had often wondered at the number 72, but since I found that out it makes perfect sense since the two combined make it an even 100. I am not surpised at all that the media has not reported this aspect.
So this is the religion of NAMBLA too?! Goodness. Something else I didn't know.
Oh yeah, the 72 virgin thing always cracks me up. It strikes me as something as ill thought-out as a teenage boy saying that he wants to be a gynecologist when he grows up. I mean, just sit in the waiting room of an OB-Gyn for an hour and then tell me you really would like to be one.
Same thing with the 72 virgins. Presumably they are chicks who have died and gone to heaven, right? If even half of the muslim women died as virgins, that would mean that the birth ratio in muslim lands would have to be 144 chicks to every guy. Sorry, I don't buy it. Also, I doubt they gave a moments thought to why these chicks might still be virgins. Oh, and that's to say nothing about how finite that heavenly promise is. They will only be virgins once. I guess that's when they move on to the beardless young boys...
Speaking of other tough Catholic ladies, please pay a visit to my blog and find out what Amy's learned to do...
If my Cave-babe (sje likes that title) and Mrs. Caveman ever meet, I recommend that the Caveman and I retreat to a very safe distance and wait things out. I recommend beer-drinking to pass the time...
