Well, the Catholic Church is yet again trying to bite off its nose to spite its face. The United States Council of Catholic Bishops, the governing body in the U.S., is apparently instructing all pastors to distribute anti-health reform material at masses. And of course, the issue is.....(wait for it) ........ ABORTION! What a surprise. Talk about a one issue group of folks. I guess it's ok for people to die &/or suffer needlessly because of lack of decent medical attention, but don't even think of paying for abortions with medical insurance. Is it any wonder that the Church is losing members in droves, including the always traditionally Catholic populations of many, many South & Central American nations, because it's so out of touch with the actual real-world concerns of almost everyone these days? Do they really think that just because you CAN get an abortion, you're GOING to get one, just for the hell of it? I honestly don't understand this logic- I guess because there actually is no logic involved.
I am so absolutely sick of this shit. If it wasn't so infuriating & just so WRONG, it would be funny, that one issue could be the lone overriding concern cancelling out literally EVERYTHING ELSE in existence, apparently. At least some of the bishops have to know that this is just wrong & crazy. There is no way in hell it can be justified, & I know that at least some of them aren't absolute idealogical robotic morons. And don't you just love the way they handle the church/state separation (as always)? Oh, I guess that doesn't count, cause it's just in the Constitution, not the Bible (not that Catholics know jack-shit about the Bible). What hypocritical assholes. Jesus would be ashamed.

Your first point is circular reasoning. You say men have to try harder to have many partners, so if they succeed they are not sluts, while women are. But the reason they have to try harder to have many partners is that women are called sluts when they try to get with a lot of men, so naturally, they try to sleep with fewer men.
Re: "Daily Dose of Fantasy". What in the hell are you talking about?
I am so up to here with church and god that I no longer believe in the whole christian ideology including Jesus. I mean really, should Jesus be alive today would he still go to the cross for what he said and did? Probably because he was a reformer criticizing the current 'religious' hierarchy of Palestine!! So the Catholic Bishops etc are hanging grimly onto their power over those who live in fear. But give it 20 years and I predict that Church will be selling up its assetts!!
