I meant stuff that directly interferes with the act itself.
Well, o.k., so we know which forms of interference you object to, and which you don't mind. Now, why?

Max. I don't get half the stuff you post to be honest.

Take it with a pinch of salt, and you never have to.

OK, contraception, now how about abortion?!

And I don't see the big deal with 'interfering with nature,' humans do that by living.

And this place is so much more orderly ever since MetalSlimeHunt stopped posting.
Who said I stopped anything?

Hopefuly, that topic tends to get messy. I mean were breaking away from philisophy and going into ethics once that comes up.

No.

Heart breaking.  :(

But ethics are merely part of philosophy. We are refining our parameters, allowing more concise discussion.

Yea, but in a God vs. no God debate, why is aborion such a huge playing piece? What if  society that was not related to religen, containing some athiests, some Christans and some others, suddenly decided they were against it? I don't think the model train commitee would get nearly the attention that the church does on this topic.

Saying that the Christan church is in charge of contraception is like saying Al Gore is in charge of global walming. Yes, you can link the two, but they are seperate entitys.

When did we ever decide that? It sounds to me like everybody is rejecting whatever the Vatican says. Including the one semi-Christian we have here.

Well yes, I'm up for that.
Wait, wasn't that what I was saying? That even those the church says one thing, they are not the be all and end all? Just like Al Gore isn't the only guy to ever talk about global walming?
