(Complete listing)…it is all over with priests and gods when man becomes scientific. Moral: science is the forbidden as such — it alone is forbidden. Science is the first sin, seed of all sin, the original sin. This alone is morality. 'Thou shalt not know' — the rest follows.

Who is he planning to pay the $1000 to? The girl? Her parents?
Sounds like solicitation to me -- and he thinks his neighbours are the "wicked" ones?

How is he planning to get a virgin to prove in advance that they are capable of bearing him children?! Even if there were some magic test guaranteeing the fertility and carrying capability of the virgin, Michael Thelemann might not be equal to the task himself.

Hmm. The terms aren't quite clear. If I referred him to a 12-year-old virgin, and she didn't want to marry him, would I still get the $1000? What about, as SEF points out, referring him a virgin who was infertile? How long would it take to get the $1000? Is it upon meeting, upon marriage, upon delivery of a happy, healthy, bouncing baby boy? What if the virgin passes age 24 by the time she marries him, but was 24 upon introduction?
Creep. Doesn't see what's wrong with advertising for a 12-year-old. Even in OK, the age of consent is 16, as is the legal age of marriage even with parental OK (though, interestingly enough, if the girl is preggers, it can be younger).

Advertise! Why didn't I think of that? Heck she could even be upwards of 30 for all I care! I'd take 40 year old virgins, but I saw that movie and ...

Virgin Smirgin: if she wasn't good nuff for her pa she ain't good nuff fer me. BTW hope this guy goes to jail, just to get him out the gene pool a while.

WHAT is the preoccupation these idiots have with virgins? Are they afraid of being compared to another man? Do they somehow think virgins are more fertile than other women?
Toss jail. I hope someone takes a 2x4 to this idiot and takes him out of the gene pool for good. 12 years old!! He ought to be jailed as a sexual predator.

I suspect that it's because a knowledgeable woman would recognize what clueless klutzes they are in the bedroom.

Isn't the traditional method to get a unicorn first?

Wow. My previous job was about five miles west of Bray (home of the Donkeys, of course). The Post Office/gas station/general store/cafe there had the actual, not adman hyped, best chicken-fried steak in the western hemisphere.

The real mystery is how a catch like that is still single in the first place.
