Things like what Harry posted floors me. Yeah I think it's nuts. That's probably why I've avoided political all these years.

I don't have a bible in front of me, but wasn't the quote "render Caesar's things unto Caesar, and let the homos have a baby imo"?

This link claims women can take birth control pills for medical purposes, as long as they don't have sex.

I'll have to go back to the original Greek to see if that's right. I didn't think they used imo in conversation back in those days.

I'll never be mistaken for the world's biggest defender of the Catholic Church, but I don't see why our opinion on the reasonability of their belief on birth control has any bearing on whether they should be forced to provide it.
