This is yet another stunt to make money as people are gullible.
People tend to sympathise with one who is prepared to forgo virginity for a Cause.
This is yet another name for the world’s oldest profession.
Catarina Migliorini, 20, claims she is auctioning off her virginity for charity, but experts are skeptical. Even the man behind the auction is surprised she made the claim because until recently she’s been all business.
Story:
“Catarina Migliorini became a viral sensation last week, when news broke that the beautiful 20-year-old Brazilian student was auctioning off her virginity to raise money for impoverished families in her country.
Early bidding quickly topped $190,000.
But the organizer of the auction has told HuffPost Weird News that he was shocked when she told various media that she was doing it for charity. He thought it was for profit and self-promotion.
“I was surprised she said that because in all my dealings with her, she made it clear that it was a business decision for her,” Australian filmmaker Justin Sisely said in an exclusive interview.
“Now, given how big this story is in Brazil, she’s trapped. If she doesn’t give any money to charity, she’s going to look bad.”
For the last two years, Sisely has been working on “Virgins Wanted,” a documentary film that follows male and female virgins attempting to get over that particular hump, so to speak.
“A Brazilian student is auctioning off her virginity to the highest bidder to raise cash to build homes for poverty-stricken families.
Catarina Migliorini, 20, is set to plough the money — currently standing at $160,000 — into a non-governmental organization that will construct modern houses in her southern home state of Santa Catarina.

Rejecting claims she is a prostitute, she said she still believed in love but saw the opportunity to make a positive difference to the world.’

On the comment by Sunil Gavaskar( On New Zealand Series) that the gap between the Bat and Pad is a cause for concern for a top batsman, Sachin replied.
“He said 100 good things about me ?
Why take some thing a single comment and get worked up?’
‘I was advised by my brother not to read or bother what others say about me, but to concentrate on my game..
That’s what I am doing”

Now a hand written note by Einstein had surface where he explicitly says “the word God is ‘nothing more than the expression of human weaknesses’.

A handwritten letter by Albert Einstein in which he calls religion ‘childish’ is to be sold at auction – with a starting price of £1.85million.
The Nobel Prize-winning scientist questions the existence of God in a letter penned to philosopher Eric Gutkind in 1954.
The agnostic Jew goes on to say the Bible is a ‘collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish’.
He adds: ‘For me the Jewish religion like all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions.
Einstein Letter..
‘And the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong and with whose mentality I have a deep affinity have no different quality for me than all other people.
He added: ‘As far as my experience goes, they are also no better than other human groups, although they are protected from the worst cancers by a lack of power.
‘Otherwise I cannot see anything ‘chosen’ about them.’
Science vs the divine: Despite being agnostic, Einstein felt an ‘affinity’ to the Jewish people
The letter, written one year before the German’s death in 1955, is commonly known as ‘The God Letter’.
When it was offered by Bloomsbury Auctions in 2008 it had an estimate of just £8,000. But a bidding frenzy resulted in one anonymous person eventually paying a staggering £170,000.
The letter has been stored in a temperature-controlled vault and will be sold through LA-based Auction Cause with a starting bid of $3 million (£1.85million). However, it has been estimated the letter could fetch as much as twice this figure.
Eric Gazin, president of Auction Cause, said: ‘This letter, in my opinion, is really of historical and cultural significance as these are the personal and private thoughts of arguably the smartest man of the 20th century.
‘The letter was written near the end of his life, after a lifetime of learning and thought.’
Einstein is regarded as one of the greatest thinkers of all time.
His quotes on some subjects are provided here.
Because he was a Great Scientist does not mean that he is a Master of all Subjects and his views are Gospel!
(Like In India where Gandhi can speak on any topic and non should question it!)
I do not agree.
It is a matter of personal experience.
That’s all.
Einstein On Religion.
‘God does not play dice with the universe.” – Albert Einstein”Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.” – Albert Einstein
“I want to know God’s thoughts…the rest are details.” – Albert Einstein
“I cannot conceive of a personal God who would directly influence the actions of individuals, or would directly sit in judgment on creatures of his own creation. I cannot do this in spite of the fact that mechanistic causality has, to a certain extent, been placed in doubt by modern science. [He was speaking of Quantum Mechanics and the breaking down of determinism.] My religiosity consists in a humble admiration of the infinitely superior spirit that reveals itself in the little that we, with our weak and transitory understanding, can comprehend of reality. Morality is of the highest importance — but for us, not for God.” – Albert Einstein ‘The Human Side’, 1954
“Subtle is the Lord, but malicious He is not.” – Albert Einstein
“Strange is our situation here upon this earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to a divine purpose.” – Albert Einstein
“There remains something subtle, intangible and inexplicable. Veneration for this force beyond anything that we can comprehend is my religion.” – Albert Einstein
“Human beings, vegetables, or cosmic dust, we all dance to a mysterious tune intoned in the distance by an invisible player.” – Albert Einstein
“Do you believe in immortality? No, and one life is enough for me.” – Albert Einstein
“Scientists were rated as great heretics by the church, but they were truly religious men because of their faith in the orderliness of the universe.” – Albert Einstein
“I do not believe that the Good Lord plays dice.” – Albert Einstein”
You may note the Contradictions, at times he seems to agree on the Existence of God , at others ambivalent!
So let’s leave him at that, thinking along for clarity>
