I am n...LOL, JAJ, you and I think very much alike. I am not VERY lay practising Roman Catholic. I do hold my faith seriously but I also hold the right to question it at any point. Blind faith is what led to the Dark ages and the times of Charlemagne and The Inquisition (dang, cannot say that word without breaking out into song from History of the World Part 1). I find all religion to be very hypocrtical when it comes to free choice and that does not sit well with me. Christians preach tolerance and acceptance unless it is something that they don't like. Extreme Muslims preach peace unless you cross them. Jews preach acceptance unless you want to join the group. Every religion has a way to exclude those they deem unworthy to be a part of the group and to come down on those they find do not follow their way. I guess it is part and parcel of being in an organized religion and it is the reason there are so many more like me out there questioning the wisdom of it all.<BR/><BR/>(EDITOR's NOTE: This became a very long ass post so I cut the rest and posted it as a full post)Dtrinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14239794728830110652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26254663.post-1147788848283615112006-05-16T10:14:00.000-04:002006-05-16T10:14:00.000-04:00hmmm, what do I think? I don't think you want to ...hmmm, what do I think? I don't think you want to get me started on the catholic view point. From what I have seen, the Jewish community is one of the most supportive when it comes to IVF, although there seem to be alot of confusing contridictions that complicate the whole thing even further.<BR/><BR/>I just wish that the religous community would either be supportive or stay out of it. The story with the teacher being fired makes me sick. How many priests abusing young boys were covered up by the church so they could keep preaching but they cannot allow a teacher to do IVF? The catholic church chooses when to make a stand. Uh oh, you went and got me started. Must stop!xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02110178612938574287noreply@blogger.com
