Radical Catholics destroy condom machines

Post #1

Post by Sjoerd »

I just read in the newspaper that four young radical Catholics in France have been destroying condom machines, throwing away the condoms and stealing the money, claiming that it is for their local church.

Is there anyone at all here who does not think that this is idiotic?
The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.
No bird soars too high, if he soars with his own wings.
The nakedness of woman is the work of God.
Listen to the fool''''s reproach! it is a kingly title!
As the caterpiller chooses the fairest leaves to lay her eggs on, so the priest lays his curse on the fairest joys.

It sounds like an excuse to steal.. which of course against the 10 commandments.

Can someone say 'hypocrite'?
“What do you think science is? There is nothing magical about science. It is simply a systematic way for carefully and thoroughly observing nature and using consistent logic to evaluate results. So which part of that exactly do you disagree with? Do you disagree with being thorough? Using careful observation? Being systematic? Or using consistent logic?�
