Contraception

The new Pope. Or perhaps the old Pope as well, I forget, anyway, is against the idea of condoms, and I think contraceptives in general. I dislike this fact. And his views toward homosexuals. Honestly, I'm not fond of the guy...

When we did R.E (Religious Education) at school, and we had to give for and against reasons why a Christian (Such a vague definition of, well, a person nowadays) might or might not agree with contraception we were given a few reasons to choose from.

One reason being, that it 'interfered with God's plan'

I'm going to take this point. I'm going to take this point, curl it up into a little ball, set it on fire, and throw it as far away as possible.

The idea being, that using a contraceptive may stop someone or something being born that God wanted to be born. Be that a new Prime Minister, or even the next coming of the son of God?

Wait. Hang on...


A few simple facts about the idea of God.
Assuming you believe, of course, the following should apply (this is meant, in the upmost of respect, by the way);

God, is the most powerful being in the universe
God is all loving.
God is all knowing.
God is all powerful.

Just with those facts alone, I have disproved the above theory.

Let me take the 'all knowing' and 'all powerful' bits for a start. I'll put you in God's shoes for a second. If you know everything, and you're infinitely powerful, then, well, you're not worried about this new invention 'The Pill.' (not that you get worried. You're God. Do you? Meh, debate for another time...)


You can see everything. How it was, how it is, how it will be, how it might be, and so on.
-Hell, you probably saw the The Pill coming before the guy who invented it's mother was born.

Now, there are people suggesting that a small, man-made piece of rubber, that can double up as a microphone waterproofing device, or protect a rifle barrel from clogging up (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condom -Honestly, read one Wikipedia page a day, on ANYTHING and you'll start to sound smarter within three months.) can actually get one over on the most powerful being in the universe?

Right. Likely?

And don't mix this up with abstinence, as that's resisting the tempation of sex and going into the moral side of sex. I'm not going there.
I'm also not trying to offend anyone with any sort of dig at the Catholic church, but I'm not pleased with this opposition to the condom or contraception in general. Surely all they do is protect us from man-made evils (STI's) whilst we get closer during intimacy which is love? Again. Morals. Shut up Flausher.

I should stop reading the papers. Especially The Sun. They just make me angry.
