Anti condom nuts in our country strikes again. One of them says "We have to admit that using condoms is equal to legalizing free sex." What the?! Maybe he meant something?
Anyways, I can't really understand why they, specifically the CBCP, cherish and care more their doctrines rather than the negative realities our poor country face (like poverty/corruption). They and some of its followers claim that the Church are just "guiding" our country to the right "moral" path but they are not really. Some of these primitive thinking priests believes that an ideal family would be a family with 5-7 children, they think that contraceptives/RHB is worse than corruption, the Vatican compared it to the Holocaust, Papa Ratzi said that condoms spreads AIDS, in Brazil they excommunicated a rape victim, her parents, and the doctor who decided to abort while they take no action to the rapist, they (CBCP) condemns our health department for giving free condoms and educating our fellow countrymen, and just recently the quote above. The CBCP have already done and said a lot of stupid and ignorant things against contraceptives and RHB. They already exerted a lot of effort and resources fighting and condemning the RHB while the majority in country suffer hunger, poverty, and corruption to name a few. Instead of spending their resources on stopping a bill that could help and educate us more about sex and health reproduction, they should spend their resources on things that could really improve the ugly situation our fellow countrymen face.
I am not saying though that all priests in our country are "primitive" thinking, there are also those (some Jesuits) who are very in tact with reality. And I really admire these priests (or this one in particular) for knowing what is really best (and not best) for our country. I hope that these CBCP priests will evolve like that of the Jesuits.

When issues like this come up. It makes you thin your in the 14th century. Its hard to believe there are still people that think like this. Sadly religious people rarely change. They do not see the benefit to society. They see it as an act against their God.
@DM, I am not trying to antagonize here. I am simply reacting to the stupidity of their (or your) irrational beliefs. Dude I respect your and other's beliefs BUT if it goes to a point wherein your irrational beliefs affects the lives of others, then I have to act.
Now you are quoting Einstein as if you understand his works and words. Einstein never believed in "your" God or any personal god. He did not even believe in the god of theist. He believed in Spinoza's God. He is a pantheist. There's a very big difference between your God and Einstein's. Einstein even said "The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weakness, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still purely primitive, legends which are nevertheless pretty childish." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Einstein#Religious_views
Anyways, thanks for posting a comment and for proving again that (most) Christians are not capable of civil and rational discussion re: god/religion and related issues. Instead of addressing the issue I raised above, Christians like you prefer to resort to fear mongering and ad hominems.
