I'm confused about this since I've never really looked into it. How can the Catholic Church Ban condoms around the world? What power do they have to do that?

Well, you see Yogi, when a church gets big enough and acquires enough of its idiot followers' money, it can start proclaiming stupid things. Things like, "when you murmur some latin words, this otherwise harmless cracker magically turns into the body of christ. Now eat it." or "Condoms spread the AIDS virus so it's prolly a good idea not to use them." Here endeth the lesson.

Ok but I don't see why this is a big deal. If you're stupid enough to follow this shit than you're stupid enough to die. It's similar to drinking the kool-aid in my mind, you've made your choice. Providing information to people is fine, a great idea but that's not what this guy is doing, he's whining. He's making an academic argument, which really doesn't matter.

Sorry, you lost me. Bemoaning the loss of millions of lives based on beliefs that are demonstrably false is not whining. So you've got some work to do to get me back.

Get you back, I couldn't care less if you agree with me in nihilist mode.

1. That white pretentious fuck doesn't give a crap about dead black people.

2. I don't give a crap about dead humans, in less than 100 years humanity won't exist. Can't keep dodging complete nuclear annihilation.

Moving this video to lurgee's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

If someone were raised since childhood to believe in stupid shit and never even knew anything else, would that person deserve to die because of it? Can it even be considered a choice then? We're lucky enough to live in a society where free speech and easy access to mass communications means ideas spread more freely than in other places.

Look at shinyblurry- smart but clearly crippled by unhelpful dogma that has exacerbated rather than reduced the inherent existential trauma in being a conscious organism apparently spontaneously existing in a mindbogglingly vast and uncaring Universe (even these minimalist words are necessarily reductive). He can justify bombing, spreading aids and even openly destroying the environment for personal economic gain to accelerate the 'day of judgement'. (No joke, all in HIS posts on THIS SITE).

Also, you should learn more about the Jonestown massacre before speaking so causally about people desperate enough to knowingly drink poison and give it to their children in the hope that it will somehow make things better.

You need to start making more sense fast Yogi or those with brains are going to consider you a fool and stop wasting time on you.

Yeah I've stopped caring. Block me if you want.

It's this kind of apathy, and lack of understanding that allows for such horrific injustices to exist in the first place.

But you don't care.
