Catholics kill babies |
What is the problem with the Catholic church saying:
1 ] Sex in marriage is wonderful
2 ] Sex outside marriage is always a sin
3 ] The church requires married couples not to use "artificial" birth
control devices.
4 ] Condoms prevent the spread of AIDS
There is no inconsistency at all in those views. Condoms could be used
by married couples who have AIDS. Condoms could be used by "sinners".
In what possible way is wearing a condom more of a sin than prostitution?
The church knows people are sinners and will sin, do sin. So what is so
wrong in allowing those sinners to sin in (comparative) safety and
without putting other people's lives at risk?
Having condoms available makes "the sin of artificial birth control"
more possible, but having kitchen knives makes murder more possible, it
is a rather flabby bit of reasoning. Driving while drunk is a crime and
a sin but the church does not forbid either alcohol or cars. Surely
condoms could be available to those who cannot avoid the sins of
promiscuity without it forcing good Catholics into "the sin of
artificial birth control".
There is no moral excuse for the Catholic Church's open hostility to
condom use by people who are already flouting the Church's teachings.

Absolutely!! And I was just thinking about how *easy* the net has made it
for kids to spin through the 'Wholly Babble' and see all the idiocies and
contradictions and ludicrous absurdities it contains!! There was a time when
the book's very *boringness* was a defence against any 'ordinary' person
ever really studying it - and since it has no index, it's hard for such a
person to research its treatment of specific topics unless they either have
access to a serious academic library, or can spend half a year reading every
single crap-filled page and making a card-index as they go.... But with
web-based searching, they can, in literally a matter of *seconds*, find all
the details they want! I mean, what an *amazing* resource it is that can
produce, in no time at all, a list of the Babble's *176 references* - most
of them highly questionable if not downright deranged - to 'sexual' matters:
http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/sex/long.htm
With access to factual data like this, more and more people will be

It didn't use to be uncommon to find a concordance in evangelical Christian
homes.
Now, as you say, they have been made obsolete by computers.

This is one of the hideous truths that turned me against the church
many years ago.
There is a big difference between wanting to help people and expecting
nothing in return (charity) and wanting to help people in return for
their alliegance (buying people). In the town where I lived, the
church set up houses for the moderately insane who the Conservative's
'care in the community' policy had rendered homeless (the policy
simply had thousands of people incapable of coping in society thrown
out of mental hospitals). Nothing wrong with that. The problem was the
way in which they treated the people who they offered their help to.
I knew one of them. A schizophrenic and very impressionable teenager.
He had a lot of problems, but what they did to him was unbelievable.
Instead of just helping him out with a place to stay and something to
eat, they filled his head with some truly awful ideas - like his
illness being a result of the evil inside him, that other members of
his family (atheists) were in league with Satan, that it was his fault
that he was ill because he was not 'with Jesus'. By the time those
bastards had finished with him he was so ridden with guilt and
paranoia that I don't think I ever saw him happy again. He was torn in
two, sometimes believing that he was ill and taking his medication,
and sometimes believing that it was all down to some superstitious
claptrap and coming off his meds and going completely haywire.
These people (mainstream Christians) were deliberately targetting the
mentally weak and others who desperately needed help, and turning them
against their families and towards the church. They were recruiting.
It wasn't charity at all, although that's how they seemed to see it.
It was a truly evil and selfish little setup run by ignorant fools who
didn't give a crap about the misery they were causing because they
believed they were right, and that god *wanted* them to brainwash
mentally ill people.
The various Christian churches are still behaving like this, and on a
massive scale. Many of their charities and missionaries (famous
through the ages for demanding religious affiliation in return for
aid) used the Tsunami disaster as an opportunity to force thousands of
people to adopt their religion, offering them assistance if they
abandoned their own religious beliefs in favour of the Jesus cult.
What choice do you have if you're homeless and starving?
Atheist charity is so much safer. It does not demand an alliegance to
atheism, it just gives where help is needed and leaves it at that.
Religion is not involved in the process. After the Tsunami
revelations, I no longer give any money to Christian charities. I'm
very careful to avoid any that use any sort of religious language in
their literature, and give my money instead to the many secular
charities. I'll be damned if I'm going to support that sort of
behaviour.

It wasn't charity at all, although that's how they seemed to see it.
It was a truly evil and selfish little setup run by ignorant fools who
didn't give a crap about the misery they were causing because they
believed they were right, and that god *wanted* them to brainwash
mentally ill people.
The various Christian churches are still behaving like this, and on a
massive scale. Many of their charities and missionaries (famous
through the ages for demanding religious affiliation in return for
aid) used the Tsunami disaster as an opportunity to force thousands of
people to adopt their religion, offering them assistance if they
abandoned their own religious beliefs in favour of the Jesus cult.
What choice do you have if you're homeless and starving?
And how many of those (spit) 'Charitable Christians' are doing it for
the expected heavenly reward®?
I should note that there are Christians lending assistance whom do not
mention their religion and expect no reward. These are, imo, fine
human beings and not scum like BAM, Shrub, Delay, and myraid others.
Absolutely - there are undoubtedly Christian charities and individuals
who are doing an excellent job helping people out. The problem is that
so many are not that it's difficult to know whether my money would be
going to a real work of charity or just some poorly disguised
evangelizing. That's not worth the risk, so the cash goes to the
secular charities that I've done a bit of background research on.

Yes, but the orgasm would be immoderate and sinful. As I previously
noted from Pope Gregory, "when they abandon themselves to immoderate
intercourse, they transfer the occasion of procreation to the service of
pleasure. ... Wherefore, it is necessary that they should efface by
frequent prayer what they befoul in the fair form of intercourse by the
admixture of pleasure."

Anybody, such as yourself, who believes the idiotic textbooks of
Catholic Canon Law, is clearly a horse's ***** and an ignoramus.
Thus, you are in no position to be criticizing others.
you wouldn't see that "rhythm" is merely
abstinence and there's nothing wrong with abstinence.
No, fool, it's not merely abstinence. There is a period of
abstinence and a period of sexual activity. Therefore, more than
mere abstinence is involved, proving your assertion utterly wrong.
The period of sexual activity is intentionally planned in a way so
that one can have sexual pleasure without the expectation of it
resulting in reproduction. Therefore, the period of abstinence is
irrelevant in this case. The only relevant issue is that it is a
method that is purposely designed with the intention to cheat the
normal requirement that sex must be for the purpose of reproduction
only. If one knows that one's wife is infertile then one is
knowingly engaging in non-reproductive sex, for a non-reproductive
purpose, which has the same effect as knowingly using
contraceptives. The only main difference is that contraception
happens to be more reliable.

Very true.
Despite frequent claims to the contrary, atheism does far less harm
than the various religions in the world. If it were true that atheism
was selfish hedonism and in some way dangerous, then predominantly
atheist societies would be less ethical and more dangerous. This is
simply not the case. Devoting your life to people instead of pipe
dreams is bound to result in a healthier and happier society.

The only relevant issue is that it is a
method that is purposely designed with the intention to cheat the
normal requirement that sex must be for the purpose of reproduction
only.
The Church doesn't have a requirement that sex be for reproduction ONLY,
They have certainly tried to backpedal in teachings like Cast Conubii
and even in Humanae Vitae, but it's hard for them to deny teachings like
the following:
Clement of Alexandria, "have coition other than to procreate children is
to do injury to nature."
Thomas Aquinas (_Summa Contra Gentiles_), "The emission of the semen
then ought to be so directed as that both the proper generation may
ensue and the education of the offspring be secured...Hence, it is clear
that every emission of the semen is contrary to the good of man, which
takes place in a way whereby generation is impossible; and if this is
done on purpose, it must be a sin."
Pope St. Gregory (Regula Pastoralis), "The married must be admonished to
bear in mind that they are united in wedlock for the purpose of
procreation".
Pope Paul VI (Humanae Vitae), "excluded is any action which either
before, at the moment of, or after sexual intercourse, is specifically
intended to prevent procreation: whether as an end or as a means."
Others like Jerome and Origen were equally non-plusses with the idea of
non-procreative sex.
otherwise non-fertile couple would be forbidden from having sex.
People like Aquinas made exceptions for women who were barren, but
others, like Origen, for example, said that even sex during pregnancy
was lustful because it couldn't lead to further reproduction.
"Every Sperm is Holy" according to the RCC. Monty Python had it right.
Why is it that everything, and I do mean everything enjoyable, is "bad".
Drinking, sex, playing cards, and nearly every other enjoyable thing a man
or woman can do is labelled "bad"? Why? This is a seriously messed up
situation. For chrissake a man can't even enjoy a good cigar without
someone bitching about it.
Atheism: The fun side of life without the guilt or shame.
Catholics do shame and Jews do guilt. Don't believe me? Which of the
following phrases would be what a RC mother would say to her child. A
Jewish mother?
"You should be ashamed of yourself"
"You should be so lucky to have a mother like me"
Watch, someone will ***** that atheists are hedonistic or some other crap.
They are just jealous that their belief system won't allow them to enjoy
all that modern life can offer.
Very true.
Despite frequent claims to the contrary, atheism does far less harm
than the various religions in the world. If it were true that atheism
was selfish hedonism and in some way dangerous, then predominantly
atheist societies would be less ethical and more dangerous. This is
simply not the case. Devoting your life to people instead of pipe
dreams is bound to result in a healthier and happier society.
Don't forget their babbling ***** about "this world not being
important" and the rest of the screed.

It is worrying that the extremists think that it's OK to abuse
planetary resources because they're all going to be sucked into space.
Ideas like that are dangerous.
