Aren’t we threatening them with harm to their society? Aren’t we forcing ideals of a few onto an entire continent. FOR POLITICAL, RELGIOUS, OR IDEOLOGICAL PURPOSES

Can you just imagine our outrage if another country tried to dictate how WE in the US handle a crisis?

Sick. Sad.

But the evangelicals put their fingers in their ears and close their eyes and scream, "Abstain!" <br /> <br /> Just shameful. Shameful.

Just shameful.

I only meant it was "worse" because the religious nutjobs and those that let them influence policy have not learned from their own previous mistakes.

You are fighting against one of the most powerful biological urges, that is to mate. Abstinence what a load of !@#$.<br /> Abstinence is a crock, I can’t believe that they actually think that promoting it will work.

It's genocide.<br /> I mean, what do you expect? The x-tinas have been doing this from two millenia now.<br /> What, do they want the land? The natural resources? Or do they just assume that anyone who has premarital sex is not one of the people they should care about?<br /> Here's an idea! Let's get the Hague to charge the Pope with Crimes against Humanity!<br /> Yeah, long shot, I know... It’s worse than terrorism. It’s genocide.

Please remember that he doesn't represent all christianity. I know, if religious beliefs didn't exist, there would be no dogmatic interpretation sentencing people to death. It's a long tortured discussion of the benefits of religion and I understand the counterpoints, but my personal experience is that there is a plus side with people who truly, deeply care (I already know you don't need religion to care) and are trying to make a positive difference.
