I gave you an out with the model comment. Just claim you're a professional model and couldn't possibly eat the whole thing. Come on Kim, wake up and pay attention! 
Might wait a bit before chowing down though. The OP's last few comments seemed (to me) a bit like someone trying to find trigger phrases that would get the desired reaction, not the thoughts of a person who really feels what he says. AKA, a troll.
Just IMO. Could be wrong. Hope I am.

I'm thinking if I could get that crow battered and fried, it might not be all that bad!! (Chop, chop, Lynx!)
I just don't like to have to RECOGNIZE my food before I eat it. Alas, I shall pony up to my end of the deal. And, I truly hope the OP finds his way.
P
As much as I'd love to claim I'm allergic to food and can make a living out of it... God convicts me if I try to lie.

That might be slightly more edible. Haha

Also I seem to recall a Ray Stevens song where he says he went out and ate a deep-fried shetland pony.
Have you that the reason you want to marry a virgin might be because the Lord has a virgin picked out for you? We don't know the mind of the Lord, but some desires we have are from him, and that's worth praying about.
I was a vigin before I got married and so was my wife. I could have made a similar post at 22 or so. I do regret kissing a few girls before I got married. Do not awaken love before it so desires, the Song of Solomon says.
Also, US dating customs are just totally messed up and do not make sense. We expect our kids ot marry in their 20's, not even their early 20's, but parents will send their 15 year old girls out in a car with some teenage boy they don't know well, who is likely looking for sex, out into the dark of night in a car. Kids start having boyfriends and girlfrriends in elementary school and many parents just think it is cute. What purpose does all this serve except to train the kids in breaking off relationship and to give them plenty of opportunities to fall into fornication?
I've spent a great deal of time in Asia. When I was in Korea, boys and girls went to separate schools until college. Then, for those who go to college, the older students would set the younger students up on blind dates until they found a girlfriend or boyfriend. Those who don't find someone this way or for whom it doesn't work out, they hire a matchmaker or their relatives match them up on dates like this. These dates can quickly move toward marriage. It's all marriage-oriented at that stage.
In Indonesia, they do have dating, at least in the cities. But it doesn't seem quite as common in high school, and with young adults, it's very marriage focused. When single people talk about not having someone, they talk about looking for a wife or husband, not a boyfriend or girlfriend. They might not call each other boyfriend or girlfriend before announcing an engagement. It's marriage oriented. There is even an Indonesian version of 'Take Me Out' and the comments they make are about husbands and wives. The host may even wish that the couples they match end up getting marriage. Dating is about getting married, not just recreation.
If you ever watch one of those movies based on novels from the 1800s that show British courtship, like 'Pride and Prejudice' or a Charles Dickens novel, you will see that a lot of British men had a sense of responsibility about not trying to get a woman to form an 'attachment' to them if they weren't wanting to marry the girl. They knew it was unethical to lead a woman on or to knowingly do things to break her heart. Yet Americans will date for entertainment with no intent to marry. Some Americans will date men they know they will not marry.
Wanting to marry a virgin is perfectly normal. Probably, your ancestors wanted the same thing. I think this is a normal expectation that you have, and much of society has lost sight of the fact that this is a reasonable expectations. Of course, there are women who are not virgins through no fault of their own, so it is good that there are some men willing to marry nonvirgins. But if virginity were a bit more prized in a marriage partner, it might be good for reducing fornication. In Indonesia, there is a stigma for either male or female losing virginity before marriage. It seems like the norma that people stay virgins until marriage. I know this is not always the case, but I think it's less of a problem than it is in the US.
I suppose, with all the dating website technology, you could do online dating and look for Christian women who say "I am a virgin" or "I'm a virgin" in their profiles. If the site allows a Google site search, you could search for 'a virgin' as a string. You might be able to find a woman who says she is looking for a virgin man. Have you tried that? How common is it? Maybe there is a church in your area where a lot of women are virgins. Or you can just pray for the Lord to match you with the right person. It's not a numbers game. If there is one woman out of millions who is suitable for you, the Lord can help you find her. I was working in Asia during my 20's and I married an Indonesian virgin, but virgins aren't as hard to find in Indonesia as they seem to be in the US.

His overall dislike of the Jews sprung from noble expectations- he had hoped the unvarnished Gospel, unhindered by Rome would sufficiently attract a wide conversion of Jews.
When that did not happen, it sent him into something of a spiral.
My German-Jewish side of the family were Lutheran converts. I honestly think he'd dig them because his issue was more religious than it was racial.

Yeah, Martin Luther was an awesome man. Not crazy about his latter views on Jews, but he had some good things to say about the Pope. I'm proud to be a Lutheran.
