Birth Control

Do you look both ways before crossing the street? Surely if 'God' wants you alive he'll make sure there's no cars coming.

There's a great Arabic saying...'First tie up your camel and then trust in Allah.' If you must believe in gods, at least don't expect them to do everything for you.

Interesting you should say that. With that logic, God must not want cancer treated, or conjoined twins separated, or throat lozenges used during a cold.

Okay, now it's obvious that you don't know what Christian Science is. Here's some info on it: http://www.christianscience.com/beliefs.html.

I can understand getting them confused if you don't know anything about either one, since the names are a bit similar.

Yes. I like some of their theology, but the whole untreated-illness thing is a little nutty.

Exactly my point.

I'm...vaguely disturbed that Lostbutfound! feels that when a 14 year old girl becomes pregnant, the problem is that she isn't married rather than that she's FOURTEEN YEARS OLD.

Welcome to fundamentalist Christianity. Remember, women are just a big walking uterus.

lol thats an asanine concept.

"Its up to God to determine how many children you have."

Does God also tell you what breakfast cereal you're supposed to eat?
Does God tell you how many time a year its okay to eat trans-fats?
Does God also tell us what kind of car we're supposed to drive?

lol

Its asanine to think "God decides every little tiny decision we make".

Thats basically saying, we don't have free will, or minds of our own.

I'm tired of all this fundamentalist logic that is seriously hindering the world's ability to THINK, and progres.

Anyways, the world is already overpopulated.

The term "Over population" is something that can only be hypothesized.

With people in "Developed countries" having on average 1.3-2.1% kids per household, what is happening, is the population of several countries is HALFING it's population every 22 yrs. And this is predominately due to people using BC.

It's the under-developed countries who use NO BC that are causing this "scare" of "overpopulation" to occur.

Over all, yeah, I'm a believer in BC, but to each their own, so long as I don't have to pay for their kids.
