More on Abortion

To those who argue abortion is preferable to a poor childhood: I heartily disagree. It benefits a child nothing to be ended horribly in the mother's womb - least of all if the mother consents - for that child will have known violence and sin and will not have known love, just as if that child had been exposed to a violent and heartless environment. What must be done, is for adults to become responsible for their choices before Society. If a child results from those choices, then that child's parents must be made to take responsibility for their child and care for the child as best as possible. Failing that, Society's agents should take up that child and care for that child, with love, to enable a productive and righteous adult to surface. Killing the child will in no conceivable way make the world a better place, for the act itself corrupts the world.

On Infidelity

Infidelity is not romance, Infidelity is not love, Infidelity is no new chance, Infidelity is no white dove, Infidelity is not pretty, Infidelity is not beauty, Infidelity is not righteousness, Infidelity is just weakness.

On Personal Responsibility vs. Society's Role

Society does as Society wills. Personal responsibility comes first. I for my acts. You for yours. If that is tended properly, Society falls in place. Not the other way arround. A Society of the corrupt cannot and will not correct the wrongs of the individual adequately.

Be consistent: if you don’t agree with the precepts of a religion, don’t say you’re a follower, and if you say you are, then be it.

It strikes me as odd when a pregnant woman is prevented from entering into academics or applying for a job. Though I will not dare dispute that pregnancy is inconvenient to employers and to academic carreers, I must say our Society should have come to terms with it by now. After all, it has only been FOREVER since we've lived with this particular phenomenon.

On Catholics vs. Birth Control

The debate on Catholic doctrine vs. birth control and the spread of HIV is moot. The most prolific populations on Earth are not even Christian. On the other hand, the Christian concept of fidelity is the ONLY effective prevention against venereal disease. People don't abide by Church precepts, and then blame the Church for the consequences of their own choices. What's the logic in that?

As to manipulation of the majority by a minority: The world needs more people capable of speaking their minds, and less people bowing to the "politically correct". It is not the way societies work, but it how it ought to be.

The Catholic Church pursues consistency with its precepts and dogmas. Conversely, Society is morally inconsistent, that is why it is perennially at odds with the Church.

On the "Politically Correct"

The term “Politically Correct” has been used as a card blanche to impose a great many unilateral agendas. It is the death of democracy posing as democracy. People should be true to their beliefs and their conscience, and it should follow that they should act by them as well, in all things, even in the face of dissention. Most of all in politics, a citizen must be true to his or her beliefs, even if they are tolerant of other beliefs. You may accept another and live harmoniously near them without condoning what you deem is wrong. This is tolerance. Bowing to what you deem is unjust, corrupt or even sinful is not tolerance, but betrayal of self and of those who share your views. It may well serve the “politically” inclined, but it will never be “correct”.

I always get confused with governments who on one side distribute contraceptives and condoms, pursue planned parenthood, condone abortions etc. and on the other offer help with Viagra and assisted impregnation. Demagogy? Nah....

More on Radical Feminism & Abortion

There can be no justice or equality where an infant innocent is made to pay for the choices of an adult. If to be a post-modern feminist is to condone abortion in support of licentious behaviour in women, than what's so great about it? What is so noble about sharing your bed with multiple immoral males that deserves the unholy sacrifice of the unborn babies that result from the act? Copying reproachable male behaviour is certainly NOT the way to go about establishing women as dignified citizens.

Why Defend the Faith?

I don't understand why I bother; yet I do. I yearn to see the Truth out, I suppose. I regret the injustice of the accusations that I witness. Why are they made? A question best directed to the accuser than the accused. My theory is that people lash out against those who live a life that contrasts with their own. I think that they feel justified in sin if they destroy God.

The "branding" of social groups dehumanises the interlocutor and is conduscive to acts of ignorance. Conversely, "identity" of a group facilitates unison.

I once had an Aikido o-sensei with whom I didn’t really get along very well, but who once said something I always thought was very pertinent; he said: “Good manners are a replacement for the absence of genuine affection, under which good will would have a person behave well toward another. If the latter is lacking, be sure that the former is not.”

One "gets used" to a lot of things. That doesn't make them tolerable enough. It just makes them a reality.
