zombie711: I used to know an atheist, who would say "why doesnt the church allow condoms, its so stupid". I would reply why dont you just not have sex until your married? he replied, why would I do that? The conversation ended shortly after that. ( also Im not saying all athiest are like that, just that one person)
I think most people are like that. Why wouldn't anyone do that?

Yeah I know what you mean, just doing something because its a physical bond of passion before god approves is ridiculous. Anyway im sure you would like me, I dont even do sex at all.
RoFL good one. didn't even know the thing is strong enough to garrote someone lol
well since the pope doesn't condone premarital sex, it can't possibly make sense that he would condone the use of condoms as intended(assuming you didn't marry someone who has a venereal disease or intend never to have kids) XD
Except that the asswipe Benedict didn't say it "could be morally justifiable". Not until after the backlash he and his cult received for saying initially that "the use of condoms actually increases the incidents of HIV AIDS".
One of the most quantifiably destructive lies of all time (because Catholicism is a big thing in many countries with a chronic rate of AIDS and, obviously with so much fantasy worship going on, a poor track record for national standards of education). What a paragon.

because you might want to have sex without spending your life with that person, or having to share all your money with them?

For me, it's like when you go to college and in their orientation meetings they say "Alcohol is completely forbidden for people under the age of 21, which you are. Therefore you cannot drink. However if you WERE to drink, here are some safety tips".
I mean, no one is being fooled that underage people in college don't drink. I'd rather there be some safety training for them though than just throwing them out there and hoping they don't die from alcohol poisoning. Not everyone in college drinks, but those who do made that choice and they need to know how to be safe.
It's the same with sex. Some people make that choice for various reasons and I'm not saying that it's good or bad either way but I would rather they have something available to them where they would not get pregnant or spread disease than them just wander off willy-nilly. You know?
Hehe, at least there's a laugh to be had now from it, but at the time it sure was a bummer to find out that thousands upon thousands of African Catholics will still have to die to uphold Roman Catholic Church dogma in the face of reality.
Scarecrow 8: This is why the pope really pisses me off.
But he's pro condom-garroting! That's one badass pope!
He's pro-life, except for when it doesn't involve the unborn, which are hardly considered alive. He also has no problem murderin' people, but GOD help him if he considers a viable option to lessen the threat of overpopulation. Hmm...the Catholics sure are sociopaths, aren't they?

Very well said. There is a huge distinction between feeling that morally it is wrong to do something and denying someone of the knowledge they could use to save their life in doing something like that. Just because you think premarital sex is wrong doesn't give you the right to hold others who do not share your beliefs to the same standards, and by not educating them about how to protect themselves you're far from good sumaritan that you should strive to be.

Yea and what if you find out that the person you want to marry is terrible I mean TERRIBLE in bed... that would suck!

As someone who was raised Catholic, I can't exactly disagree.
HankMan: It is acceptable to use a condom to keep the fiz in your soda, but not in your relationships!

If you're trying to say he was being unreasonable, you've failed. "Why would I do that?" must represent reasons that he apparently didn't share. If you were interested in argument, you should have asked.
This comic made me laugh today :) The best ones were by far the one with carrying water (Just look at how badass he looks) and the terrorist on nuclear sub one. :D

See this is why I make sure that I carry condoms around with me at all times. Not incase I have sex, but for situations like the one described. I mean, I hate it when my soda loses its fiz.
So I read the article on the whole issue and I found it a little ridiculous. I mean he said that its totally okay for male prositutes to be using condoms. I'm confused. Don't Catholics think prostitution is bad? So if you're a prostitute, you're sinning, but its okay to use a condom. Not trying to bash Catholics here, its just I find this whole thing a little silly.
