the bible pretty much tells people that our duty is to make babies so doing anything to stop a potential baby is going against the faith. I guess. :v

this

Catholicism is just plain against any kind of attempt to prevent a baby. in the bible it says your not even supposed to deed. all male orgasms are supposed to happen inside a woman's fun zone, and then try to make a baby. anything else makes baby Jesus cry

Christians believe life begins at conception. Many forms of birth control destroy the fertilized egg, which in that case isn't preventing abortion, it is abortion.

Just use a fucking condom

How about instead of speculating, we see what the Catholics have to say for themselves:

The fecundity of marriage

2366 Fecundity is a gift, an end of marriage, for conjugal love naturally tends to be fruitful. A child does not come from outside as something added on to the mutual love of the spouses, but springs from the very heart of that mutual giving, as its fruit and fulfillment. So the Church, which is "on the side of life,"151 teaches that "it is necessary that each and every marriage act remain ordered per se to the procreation of human life."152 "This particular doctrine, expounded on numerous occasions by the Magisterium, is based on the inseparable connection, established by God, which man on his own initiative may not break, between the unitive significance and the procreative significance which are both inherent to the marriage act."153

2367 Called to give life, spouses share in the creative power and fatherhood of God.154 "Married couples should regard it as their proper mission to transmit human life and to educate their children; they should realize that they are thereby cooperating with the love of God the Creator and are, in a certain sense, its interpreters. They will fulfill this duty with a sense of human and Christian responsibility."155

As a catholic. It has never been explained in any way that makes sense to me. Or to my parents.
Abortion. Ok, I understand that.
Condoms though? You're not destroying anything.

I mean other than blah blah preventing life blah blah. But that shit isn't biblical.
I guess I should add that sometimes you just come to terms with eternal damnation. Going by the church I've already done six different mortal sin, eternal damnation things sine yesterday.
But their preaching is god is loving and forgiving yada yada. Ok.
But then other times every damn little thing you do is a sin of some reason or the other and you're never making it into heaven.
So really. Which is it? It can't be both.
Either god is all loving and merciful in which case he's not the eternal damnation punishing jerk.
Or he's an eternal damnation punishing jerk in which case he's not all loving and merciful.

There is actually a biblical basis;

Genesis 38:8-10 - Then Judah said to Onan, Go in to your brother's wife and perform the duty of a brother-in-law to her, and raise up offspring for your brother. But Onan knew that the offspring would not be his. So whenever he went in to his brother's wife he would waste the semen on the ground, so as not to give offspring to his brother. And what he did was wicked in the sight of the Lord, and he put him to death also.


I think the interpretation is that all sperm not used for procreation is sinful in the Bible's opinion.

Logic and religion can't co-exist. Otherwise there would be no religion.

Eh i am an atheist, but you can argue religion is founded based on logic and effort to understand the world arounc the ancient humans.

Modern religion's problem is blind faith/zeal and not accepting the tested knowledge that people has been accumulating for centuries.

The existence of deities are most likely to make sense teh world around them.

My hypothesis goes like this: people know they can change the environment,so are some animals. Changes in the environment are caused by an active actor. Rocks doesnt move by itself by their short observation therefore, someone or something must have moved it. (Even though in a long enough time in a specific condition rocks can move or turn into dust, but such observation are basically impossible without the tech to effectively pass down knowledge)

so they apply the same logic to everything. Volcanoes, thunder, rain the world itself. Humans or aninals cannot cause tsunamis, therefore something with greater power, greater knowledge than humans and animals cause them.

That sounds like the not giving his brother in law offspring is seen as wicked, not that "every sperm is literally sacred".

Except the principle is the same. The reason for it being a sin is not because it literally pollutes the ground, but because it is using sperm for a purpose other than reproduction.

Okay, but why the ban on condoms then?

Because of aforementioned "sex for anything other than procreation is bad" sentiments

I never got that from that story. I always took it as God being angry that this guy didn't listen to him in this instance, and not that pulling out is inherently sinful. I can see how it can be interpreted the other way, though.

The Bible is against trying to act slick against God. The wasted nut reading has always been weird to me. Just ignored the motive behind it.

But that aside, do Catholics even use that story? I actually don't know. We got 16 metagames of religion and they all count and not count several things for some godforsaken reason.

Yeah, I think there is enough ambiguity that it could be taken either way, definitely. I'm not arguing that is the 'right' interpretation, just that there is a basis for the idea.
