"while it'd be nice for everyone to be perfect...." Aha....this is how I was able to reconcile and stomach all the dogma I was hearing from the Church. All of their beliefs and teachings and stances on these moral issues are really being done from a "best case scenario" sort of view. I don't see how the action of stressing abstinence over contraception is dooming anyone to anything. I think what people would like to hear the Church say is "We want you to abstain, but if you DO have sex, use a condom". Well....the church really can't come out and say that, and I don't think they should. They teach what they believe is the correct and moral action....if you choose not to follow that, the church can't really be giving you advice on the best way to live in sin. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:154829 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
