danot Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 If God had intended the use of condoms he would have given the animals protection. And little choir boys:D. Sorry God, couldn't resist that one. I bet he's heard that a few times:hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harleyman Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Apparentley God has changed his mind and now agrees with what the majority of people have knon for decades.Speaking through the Pope,he now says it's OK to use condoms (sometimes). I wonder how many unwanted pregnancies,cases of aids and continuation of hereditary conditions have resulted while he has been coming round to this descision. You would have thought someone as clever as God would have seen this coming. Do you really believe that the Pope hears the voice of God? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quisquose Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 As a point of interest,does anyone know why the Catholic church objects to contraception ? Because it's a religion. Religions are memes that seek to spread and out-compete other memes. A meme is the cultural equivalent of a gene, and usefully describes how Darwinian principles might be extended to explain the spread of ideas and cultural phenomena, using humans as cultural replicators. The most successful religions are the ones that have evolved to spread the ideas that help to increase the population of the people that carry those ideas. Contraception is wrong, abortion is wrong, women working outside the home is wrong, marriage that risks the offspring adopting another religion is wrong, large families are good, are all ideas that have been usefully used by all the major religions. The only reason why the Catholic Church is making noises about being more relaxed about condom use is to address falling membership, nothing more, nothing less. The Catholic Church is evolving.

By the same token,do other religions comdemn contraception use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
