That's a great point and almost convincing, but I guess I just can't get over the point that by taking a stance you know there's a percentage of people that will die because of it. If we take the philosophy out of it and look at it actuarially, I bet we could say this: 1.) All things being equal, x million of people will die of AIDS next year. 2.) If the church supported condoms x-y million people would die. Now that's speculation but it's based on the fact that there is a moral black and white while people are grey. They want to feel good by going to church and associating with those that do, but many of them simply can't resist sex. What if there was a church that accepted birth control and safe sex - i.e., pre-marital sex, and sex with birth control? The freak of humans is that nobody would go because they don't typically aspire to be mediocre - they aspire to be perfect but fall short. I dunno, maybe it's a catch-22. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:154835 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
