Quote from: Neil on April 08, 2009, 07:18:19 PMSee, Catholicism isn't that bad.  Their willingness to compromise every one of their principles in an effort to be accepted is commendable.  That's why I don't get all the bitching about condoms and abortion from the Church.

The Church wants to increase the number of Catholics.
Then again, I guess it depends on who the Church is going for.  To increase their flock in North America, they need to say 'Yay condoms!'.  On the other hand, Africans hate condoms.
Why would you want your followers to suffer from various stages of a lethal disease, though?

  Today there are more active Christians in China than in Europe (and the number appears to be growing rapidly),

Christianity is even on the rise in a number of arab countries. Algeria for example has seen a boom (heh) in it's numbers of christians. And mostly young people at that too. Only question is how long they'll remain christian and wether or not they can expand their numbers further.
Still, it's not like these are secular humanists converting to Christianity there. Of the two evils, I'd rather have more Christians than more Muslims. It's like going from childhood to puberty.

It's not ideal, but Africans hate condoms anyways, so what difference does it make?
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Relying on the goodness of people's hearts to keep them from doing bad things to each other is a losing proposition; we need fear of external consequences. In the modern world, we have government for that, so religion is losing its power.

Would Martinus be less a whiny bitch if he wasn't gay?

Oddly enough, I think he'd be more like garbon if he wasn't gay. He'd still gripe about stuff but not care enough about anything to go into deep hysterical mode.

I would have directed my ire at whiny emo wastes-of-oxygen like yourself, instead.

Disagree.  He'd be even more ferociously anti-American.

Perhaps. But he'd have one less thing to hate us for.

Wrong.  As a Polish Catholic, he'd hate American fag-enablers.

But I'm the actually gay one. :(

However, his tears would be a biohazard, while yours would be bitter emo tears.
