Lovely Yuki art.

What a pleasant post. I'm younger, in a bit of a similar situation about my virginity, only different because I have been on a couple of dates. People who are good, genuinely good, even a bit like God, very much like God if they do happen to be over 30 years old, a virgin, and living with their mother are hated very much by society. It's because the world hates God, and I've found few people who observed this effect

Like okay, so we have people who are poor, wageslaving, and living with their parents? Does that remind anyone of anyone, maybe a very particular carpenter, a particular GOD whom Americans claim to worship, but will then despise those who bear resemblance to Him.

In any case, it's good to hear that you've found peace about not having a relationship. Mean, to me, you're only incelibate if you can't even get an escort to run with you. Still, from the perspective of God, recently I've found that most men are made from His permissive will (when God as a rule allows men to go against His will to make a human; like in fornication or rape) and very few are made from His actual will.

That's why Jesus says in regard to baptism, His followers are born not of man, but of the Spirit. It's about how men are born according to God's will versus man's will. Is it the will of God that a man be born from rape? No, it's not. God will still make a man born from the sin, but it's not His will. Rather, it's man's will to make that man.

This also applies to men created through fornication. That's man's will, not God's. Opposite to that, if God desires to make a man, He will make them from those who have kept His Commandments, and will often contrive some means for them to make the child He desires, such as in the case of the Virgin Mary's parents. Per Catholic tradition, God's Mom's Dad wasn't traditionally attractive or desired, so go figure.

.....man, i just relate to you, a lot, but i don't think we're like Jesus. i think we're just average, okay, decent people and should be treated as such. the Jesus thing is something else. that said, i do really relate to you. you remind me of my own...backbone, because sometimes i feel a bit like the propaganda is getting to me. thank you.

So there's hope for the celibate who keep God's Commandments if they desire to be married. Still, this too is a part of God's will, and that's celibacy unto death. That's a harder saying, and those allied with God reason it's okay being that God Himself did the same as a man.

As a non-westerner, I roll my eyes every time the word "virgin" is used as an insult. Modern westies are so obsessed with having s*x that they measure their value based on it. Reducing your entire existence to such an act makes you no different than an ant or a worm. You are supposed to be a *rational* animal, not an animal :|

Very true.
