"Irrational beliefs ultimately lead to irrational acts."

That's what believeing in a virgin birth will get you.

"Mom, dad, I swear I'm a virgin"

There's a tribe somewhere, I think it's in the so. pacific, who
doesn't know the facts of life. At least they didn't about thirty
years ago when @I heard of this first.They believe that once a couple
is married,they have babies, period. The sex thing doens't cause it
at all. As evidence, they point ouf that they have a number of albino
women that it is forbidden to have sex with, punishable by death.
These women have babies and noone would be crazy enough to sleep with
them, right? The other bit of evidence they have is that women almost
never get pregrant before they are married even though pre-marital
sex is commonplace. That one's a bit harder to explain...

I wish I could remember who they were or where they were. i can't
seem to find anything about them on the net..

This mayt help:

Adolescence in Pacific Island Societies, edited by Gilbert Herdt and
Stephen C Leavitt. ASAO Monograph 16. Pittsburgh: University of
Pittsburgh Press, 1998. ISBN cloth, 0-8229-4068-X; paper, 0-8229-
5672-1; xii + 239 pages, notes, bibliography, index. Cloth, US$50.00;
paper, US$22.95.

I'm not ****ing buying that!

Mrs. Bunyip may wonder what you are up to when/if it replaces your
usual bedside reading...

Ahh, I'm not al that interested. I'm not even sure if I learned it in a
psych course or a religion course. Interesting notion, though. That book
would almost certainly hold some info on "cargo cults" though, which
were pretty amazing. Actually, I think there may be a few surviving.
Look them up, they're not unlike low tech teleshopping.
