Someone asked me about the 144,000 and how the scripture in revelation mentions that they are all Jewish and all virgins. I went on to burble about it being fugurative etc and then stopped and said, that sounds so bloody stupid doesn't it?
My usual spiel at the door with Dubs is: "If the fact that they are male Jewish virgins is figurative, then why do you treat the number 144,000, which is a product of several important symbolic numbers, as literal?"
