Ingersoll also said Baptism is useful if you use soap!

Perhaps but do you know many business investments that promise you 72 virgins ?
If i had to believe, i would definitely choose islam.

If I started a religion that promised 73 virgins, would you join?

Trying to raise the stakes ?
Well i might have been interested (even though quantity is not all, what quality of virgins can you guarantee?)...but i've been thinking about it and this Ingersoll has a point.
That's why i'm now considering recognizing jesus christ as my personal savior.
Yes, time have changed since ingersoll, and now some christians have realized they need to offer some much more tangible and immediate dividend than some hypothetical "salvation" in order to gather more clients :

It's not like you have to worry about AIDS in heaven or anything. I mean, you're already dead.

Exactly. One has to wonder if they are not under age, why are they still virgins?
One also wonders what they did wrong in their lives and whether their situation constitutes slavery in heaven.

that is a very good point. basically says that the most a woman can aspire in heaven is to be in a sex team. doesn't tell from my knowledge of an extraordinary reward for exceptional muslim women.
also i would like to add another issue to the virgin clause. you get 72 virgins. but once you sleep with each once, they are not virgins anymore. when you look at an eternity, them being virgins is totally useless. (not that it wasn't useless anyway)

I dont think there is good reason to assume that all women end up in the groups of virgins. If anything, those women who are no longer virgins clearly will not (unless there is some clever cheating going on as suggested by ATY).

(not that it wasn't useless anyway) Well maybe there is no sex in heaven. Or is it really hell in disguise?
