"It's caused by human will, human choices, and human error. And the results are indeed very bad. If the humans involved made different choices (ie: kept their legs closed/pants zipped until marriage) there would be far fewer daddyless kids."
Do you never worry about the people that you may hurt by your finger pointing? Aquinas taught that if you show a person good they will come to know and live good. On the other hand, a person that is never shown good will come to know and live evil. Do you not think we are called to show the good to all our fellows, especially those who are suffering?

Okay. If you see someone through carelessness or not noticing, or whatever, about to run off a cliff, which is showing love:
1. Say and do nothing.
2. Tell the person they're heading in the right direction.
3. Tell the person they're fine just the way they are.
4. Yell "Stop! You're heading off the cliff!" Or, if you're close enough, even grab their arm to save their life.
I am merely trying to tell the truth, in opposition to the so-called moral relativism of "if it feels good, do it".
And, you have not a clue what I do in my personal life to show love to others for their benefit.
And, btw, you still have not answered one (not even one) of my very clear and specific questions.

Do you never worry about the people that you may hurt by your finger pointing? Do you ever worry about the people you're hurting by condoning their lifestyle, thus encouraging them to continue in their self-destructive behavior?
