It is not the brains that matter most, but that which guides them — the character, the heart, generous qualities, progressive ideas.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky (via coooode) Reblogging because Dostoyevsky. I love him and his work <3 |
I’ll be alone, but maybe more carefree like a kite that floats so effortlessly.
I was afraid to be alone, but now I’m scared that’s how I’d like to be.

Pope Immorally Condemns “Artificial Fertility”
The Pope belies his church’s “pro life” posturing in his recent condemnation of “artificial fertility,” by which he means any medically assisted pregnancy not involving a “conjugal act” between husband and wife. Thus, the AP summarizes, the Pope condemns “sperm or egg donation and methods such as in vitro fertilization.”
The Pope denounces what he calls “the fascination of the technology of artificial fertility” that can result in “easy income, or even worse, the arrogance of taking the place of the Creator.”
Thus, according to the Pope, married couples must not have children of their own if one of the spouses is infertile or if the union of their sperm and egg cells requires technological assistance. Moreover, the Pope’s position implies, no single woman or gay couple should have children of their own.
But the Pope’s position is viciously anti-life. Doctors who earn a living by assisting with fertility are every bit as moral and heroic as are doctors who earn a living by “artificially” repairing a heart. Those willing and able to care for children of their own and who need the aid of technology to get pregnant or have a child have every moral right to use that technology, bring new life into the world, and enjoy parenthood.
The only arrogance with which people need be concerned is that of the Pope and company with their anti-life, pseudo-moral “righteousness.”
Reading things like this makes me feel ill, and also really sad. I was raised with buddhist values but with a strong, Spanish Catholic background. My mother thought pro life etc was completely wrong, and I was raised to love the God(s) but to also use my brain first.
I don’t know how any sane human being, or the head of a religion I have loved all my life can say they believe in love, respect and good values, and then say that artificial conception is wrong. Plenty of infertile people would make amazing parents and plenty of fertile people don’t.
I don’t want to sacrifice my beliefs, or my love for the god(s) but I don’t see how the Catholic Church can see a future with their ways if they can’t accept science, and the modern world.
I’m not an Atheist, and I never will be, but I don’t think that’s the point here. If people like me, my family, and the vast majority of any religious people I know, can have religion and common sense, and decent human morality then it looks like we need a different leader.
