Some of the parents, they don’t know better. Seriously, where and when have you seen condoms (cheap ones!) advertised or offered to poor people? No? I didn’t think so. Poor people go to the drugstore for meds, not for condoms, breathmints and botled water.

Most of them have no idea on how family planning even -works- anywho. And they really can’t be buggered to find out “oh, we get pregnant if we have sex during THIS part of the month around 12 days after I started bleeding for god-knows-what-reason from my bits!”

Also, some people actually do it and go “wtf, dude, I didn’t know having sex could end in pregnancy.” I’m serious. It’s happened. The girl was 14 and the guy was 18, I think.

There are people who say, “Well, they can just NOT have sex,” then I dare them to do without a main, habitual source of entertainment for a month or so. Things like eat all you can buffets, bacon, computer gaming, and whatnot. ‘cos they sorta don’t have that sort of thing to hold on to, so they cling to the happiness they get from sex, alcohol, and… well, Wowowee. Oh, and religion — oh wait, whoops, that kinda just turned around and sorta bit them in the ass, didn’t it? =/

As for the rich dudes who have kids, well, they can afford them. Just a shame if they don’t raise their kids properly. Just, y’know, remember that income tax deducions only go up to four kids and we’re kind of swimming in a general tough economical spot and whatever.

Church and State are BOTH back-asswards in this case. People do not have kids upon kids upon kids upon kids because they felt like gettin’ it on and didn’t happen to have any condoms.

Parents have kids upon kids upon kids upon kids because they see each child as an investment.

These crawling, crying “investments” will eventually grow into smaller, more obedient versions of human beings with an implanted loyalty to said parents.

Semi-matured investments are capable of doing basic manual labor for parents.

Fully matured investments are capable of earning jobs, and making money, part of which is to be spent on taking care of parents. These investments also have a certain chance of winning the lottery, or Wowowee, thus winning large amounts of cash, and spending even MORE on taking care of parents.

Logical FAILURE comes in when parents become too optimistic about their investments, and assume that they’ll mature properly despite lacking nourishment, education and decent living environments. Or when they assume that the winning chances attached to the lottery and to Wowowee are anything more than infinitesimal.

So, Church and State, if you can hear me, UR DOIN IT RONG.

They can also argue that to believe without action is useless. because they think it’s such a moral dilemma, then all the more they need to speak out against it. Prevent temptation and all that.

Maybe that’s why I despise organized religion. =/ It’s ridiculously self-justifying.

Your blog takes away my spacing if I don’t put the right tags. But isn’t in your list, so I don’t know if this will work.

I am amused by the Fr. Johnny Go thing. XD

For them, it’s a major issue which much be campaigned against. The true root of the problem is the amount of power they wield over the people and the politicians. Even the article says that the dude was scared that he would be denied communion.

On that level, they’re still within their normal functioning. Support artificial birth control and help spread the sin in society, get excommunicated by the church. Ho hum. It’s what could very well happen by the laws of any other non-government organization. Break a rule, be expelled.

Problem being, everybody is so frigging clingy to the idea that the church is always right and that it has the final say in everything. Thus, politician shunned by large faith organization = bad publicity.

Then again, maybe somebody is going to turn this around and work it the same way scandals about songs/movies end up making them more popular. =D

I hope that one day in the future, people can tell their kids

“Hey, you know, I was excommunicated by the Church before!”
“Really daddy? Why?”
“Oh, ‘cos I used a condom.”
“Daddy, that’s silly!”
“Yeah, it’s sort of like how slavery was condoned before right?”
“…daddy, what does condoned mean?”
“Nevermind.”
