The Catholic church: officially living in the (fucking) Dark Ages

Brazilian singer banned from Vatican Xmas concert over condom dispute
Snippets:
Brazilian singer Daniela Mercury, who was banned from performing in a Vatican Christmas concert, said on Monday she was outraged at a Vatican claim that she had threatened to promote condom use during the show…
… The dispute has shot back and forth across the Atlantic since Mercury first said her offer to take part in the show had been withdrawn. She said last month the Vatican had excluded her because she took part in a campaign promoting the use of condoms to fight
AIDS….
… On Friday, the Vatican defended its decision to exclude Mercury. It said the reason was not her convictions about contraceptives but because she had said she would openly promote the use of condoms to prevent AIDS…
… The church opposes the condoms because they are a form of contraception. It says promoting condoms to stop the spread of AIDS fosters what it sees as immoral and hedonistic lifestyles and behaviour that will only contribute to its spread…
Brazil, as you may know, was at one time hit very hard by this terrible disease, and predictions for the future were dire. Now they have a government program that is being lauded around the world. Since they are the world’s largest Roman Catholic country, maybe the sexless fuckheads at the Vatican might pay some attention to their approach.
Amid all the fuss the government of Brazil, the world’s largest Roman Catholic country, announced last week it planned to distribute 1 billion free condoms next year to fight AIDS.
Good for them. If only America was so enlightened.
You would have to be a fucking idiot to the Nth degree to think condoms help to spread this disease. Nuke the fucking Vatican. What’s a few thousand dead cardinals compared to the millions that could die because of their asshole ideas? Works for me. As Spock said: “The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.”

OMG! It’s true, some religious folk can be aware of pandemics! Brazil is a rather conservative nation in its politics, but most of its people are the coolest kids in the world. Hell, they pass out free condoms during Carnaval! And they’re even packaged in a little thing you wear around your neck so people can know you’re ready to fuck! hehehe…memories…but yeah, I agree that it’s nice to have people who can see the truth amidst their dillusional religious beliefs. People are contracting AIDS through sex. People have sex whether you want them to or not. Because no one has yet achieved powers of mind control, condoms need to be promoted to help protect people. Don’t let them slowly kill themselves and others by holding onto a belief that is 2000 years old! Stupid cuntfaces.
Condoms rock.

And yep, Brazilians rock. They love sex down there. Instead of trying to eradicate that desire, which is impossible, why not just eradicate the spread of disease, you stupid fuckwads? Did you know part of the reason Tahitians were so free-loving at one time was that, before Europeans came, they had no venereal disease? How nice for the crew of The Bounty to bring it with them.

Whats funny is the unbelievable dicotomy of the sex lovig Brazilians all the while being the largest RC nation on Earth. Doesn’t say much for he real power of the paper tiger Catholic church does it?

I know this won’t be popular here, but if we do control our sexual desires we won’t be spreading aids. So no need for condoms, which are not 100% effective at stopping venereal disease.
One man, one woman, no VD.

Sorry. I like to fuck. I’m not going to subscribe to your silly belief in ancient religions.
Your food could contain disease too. Wanna try not eating?

Steve,
Rockstar is right- are you going to stop eating chicken because of the bird flu? Did you stop eating beef during the mad-cow scare? Will you be holding your breath if you live in an industrialized country? Necrotizing fasciitis and E. Coli can be gotten through skin contact- would you like to wear a rubber suit? It’s certainly better than shitting out your liquified intestines.

Steve: all I can say it sucks to be you. Or even worse, your girlfriend. I had a Catholic nurse prescribe abstinence to me as a perfectly legitimate solution to vasectomy.
To my surprise, a hundred little kids with adorable accents burst into the room and sang “Every Sperm is Sacred.”
Check this out:

Condoms fail very seldomly. I have never had one fail on me once. I have been using them for 20 years.
This practice of continuous abstinence was dubbed dangerous sperm backup (DSB, for short) by Paul Schrader and Martin Scorcese and they have blamed it for virtually every murder in mankind’s history. Look at that poor Travis Bickle dude.
So what do you do? Walk around with blue balls the of size chandeliers? Have you perfected the art of tittie-fuckin’? How ’bout then armpits, heh? I know it sure ain’t sodomy. Maybe you a have a voyeur cam in the bathroom and get off on those once a week. Oh, wait, masturbation is a sin, too right?. Guess you’re fucked. Or not.
And so much for reason and logic. If I were never gonna have sex again, what would I need a fucking vasectomy for? Thanks, nursie-pooh.
