It's a book that suggests all this "contoversial" stuff about the Catholic church and Christianity. One of the claims, is that Jesus had a romantic relationship with a woman (I think it's Mary Magdelin) and that she is depicted in DeVinci's painting of the last supper. One of the desciples is painted with more feminine features than the rest. It's a good but long read, and if you go to Rome or Paris you can take DaVinci Code tours to help you see what some of the art, places ect. in the book.

you so took my answer, Mother Teresa, for two reasons, the obvious one she is a virgin. The less obvious choice, she is dead.\nNow if I were to choose someone else(because old nuns and necrophilia are fine, I just don't want to go on after you, yuck)\nSo my next choice would be that little "pug" on the Osbournes, I would convert to Catholicism to confess to that.

Its custom and considered mannerly.\n\nOriginaly, if a virgin sneezed three times without being blessed, the Faery folk could take her.

Maybe, if the woman is a virgin? Not if she's had sex, though. No virgin involved in it.

The concept of a virgin birth isn't new, Dionysus, the Greek God was said to have been born of a virgin.  So was Mithras, according to many legends.  In fact, being born of a virgin was such a popular theme in the stories of various Gods, that early Christians pretty much HAD TO sell Jesus as being born of a virgin so he could compete.\n\nIn reality, I doubt it, but only Mary and Joseph would have known for sure...

No, and not even the virgins.  Nowhere in the Quran is this mentioned.  This was an innovation made up by the pagans after the death of the Prophet (PBUH).  You won't find that anywhere in the Quran, and if it's not there or does not say the same, it must not be followed.

Notes I have gathered for research on my new book, regarding a gypsie charachter.\n\nThe Roma originally lived in North West India and migrated to persia from year 224. They lived under Arab rule in the middle east from 642 to 900CE and eventually arrived in Constantinople. By the 14 and 15th centuries they had drifted to western Europe.\n\nThere are three language groups within the Roma, The Domari (middle East an Eastern Europe)\nThe Lomarvren (central Europe)\nThe Romani (western Europe)\n\nIf you really want more details, do a google search on them, there is lots out there.\n\nIf you would like to learn about their enslavement, torture and other sufferings by this group try putting The Pariah Syndrome in your browser and check out what this person found for his Phd thesis.

My own viewpoint---------I think it would be horrible if both the man and the woman are virgins on their wedding night.  Neither would know what they are doing, and, well----it'd just be tough.  They do not give classes in this matter----at least, I am sure the Christian church doesn't.  Maybe the man could get a copy of the KAMA SUTRA beforehand?

Interesting question. Since they were the ONLY two people in the world, where did everyone else come from?\nMythology is stupid isn't it? Now watch the christians make up stories and excuses for this lame book of bronze age jewish mythology...

Um, do you mean Jesus and Judas? You can read it for yourself at www.nationalgeographic.com. It is believed to be the work of gnostics, and not of Judas. A fairy tale.

The name 'Gypsy' comes from the word Egyptian. They themselves claimed Egypt as their ancestral home, but more probably they originated in India and started to arrive in Europe during the second millenium BC. (Their language, Romany, derives from Sanskrit, the ancient language of India.) Over the first millennium AD, small bands migrated to the west and, when they reached what is today Palestine, they split, some going to the north, through Europe, the rest going south to Egypt and west across North Africa. They moved in small groups rather than a concentrated mass, gradually spreading, always shunned and forced to move on, living as second-class citizens on the fringes of society. During the fifteenth century, elements of each group reached Spain. \n\nThe number of legends that became attached to them during their long journey made them pariahs in medieval Christian Europe. According to some of these stories:\n\nThey were descendants of Cain, the son of Adam and Eve who killed his brother Abel. As a result, they were cursed to be nomads: "And the Lord said unto Cain ... now art thou cursed from the earth. … When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth" (Genesis IV, 9-12). Thus Gypsies could never become farmers, they were doomed to be wandering musicians and metal-workers, bearing the mark of Cain. (This is probably the Greek letter Tau, worn as a means of recognition, not a stigma.)\n\nGypsies forged the nails for the crucifixion of Christ, massacred the children of Bethlehem and advised Judas to betray Jesus. In punishment they were haunted by a red-hot nail and must wander forever. \n\nEzekiel's prophecy: "I shall scatter the Egyptians among the nations" (Ezekiel XXIX, 12) confirmed for them their own claim to have come from Egypt.\n\nSome regarded them as the descendants of the two lost tribes of Israel. Others said Gypsies had been cursed by God because they had refused to shelter Mary and Joseph on their flight to Egypt. The Gypsies, in trying to mitigate this charge, did not deny it, but said they were on a pilgrimage in penance for the crime, thus enhancing the legend.\n\nTreatment\nNOTE: The following is a general summary which attempts to summarize the plight of gypsies in the world. Actual conditions varied from country to country and from time to time. More specific information is given in later paragraphs.\n\nMany parallels can be drawn between the treatment of Gypsies and Jews. Throughout their history, like the Jews of the Diaspora, Gypsies were feared and driven from country to country. Restrictions were placed on their dress and permitted occupations. Those who converted to Christianity were still regarded with suspicion as not being true to the Faith. Anti-Gypsy laws were issued in country after country. Banished from France, those caught were flogged and deported by force. Other countries followed suit, and the already nomadic people were forced into continuous migration. In Holland Gypsy Hunts were organized to round them up for deportation. After the Netherlands gained independence, Gypsies were given long prison sentences. (This loss of freedom was the worst punishment of all. They preferred to die, and many did.) Denmark did not revoke its deportation laws until 1849. The Gypsies there at that date could stay but no others could immigrate. In 1554 English law imposed the death penalty on Gypsies and all who associated with them. In 1560 Archbishop Petri of Sweden decreed: "The priest shall not concern himself with the Gypsies. He shall neither bury their corpses nor christen their children". In Paris, Christians who had their palms read by Gypsies were excommunicated. Until Louisiana was purchased from France by the United States, thousands were transported there. Spain and Portugal also sent many to their colonies in the New World.\n\nAn alternative to deportation was

The Catholic church claims Mary is still a virgin.\n\nBut I think they're just trying to keep God from being charged with rape. No penetration, no rape.
