Family Planning v.s Church

[Victim ~*of *~Circumstances]

^

@vos- I have some muslim friends in the Philipines who give me the impression of its growth which they claim is underepresented.

I see. Well, I don't know about that then. Maybe one day I'll have the pleasure to befriend a Muslim and learn more about that. However, in my region their quite scarce or maybe they just don't dabble in the community at large. There still is quite alot of prejudice and even in school the religion teachers go to great lengths to demonize them.

As for this family planning 'issue" with Catholicism some of it sounds like a direct quotation from the movie "Deer Hunter".

I've never seen that movie so I can't comment on the similarities.

@gdi. Like I said, I am neither a Catholic nor do I agree with all their practices but I just think attacks on religions especially in a public forum like this with Avatar fans from all walks of life and with all kinds of backgrounds is ill advised. I apologise if I sounded like I was flaming you personally which was not my intention and I do understand and respect your views on the matter.

My sister and her family is Catholic. And no they don't have those weird ideas about family planning, nor do her friends whom I have known from child hood. But then again, they don't live in a poor nation, but somewhere where the churches struggle to retain members.

You might find it offensive to openly state such things in a public forum, but this is not nice nice forum, this is Critical Thinking! and if it is true, why not state it? If it were lies, it would be a different matter. So if it's got a fishy smell to it it needs to be looked into! And heaven knows there are a few skeletons in the Vatican's vaults!
