Birth control is like a gun: It grants power, but is itself not good nor bad. It depends on how the power is wielded in the hands of a human.

Actually, it is intrinsically evil. Its sole purpose is to prevent the proper operation of the human body (the reproductive system). It's simply a poison.

Artificial means of birth control are to the human reproductive system what binging-and-purging is to the human digestive system.

Birth control is neutral? Nope. Not if you're a Christian with any sort of respect for ancient Christian teaching it isn't.

"Birth control ...is itself not good nor bad. "

Birth control, then, should be distinguished from contraception. Even a kind of modified abstinence can be birth control (can give you control over the number and frequency of conceptions)---so, OK. But contraception, to make the distinction, is using drugs, devices, or surgery to undermine your fertility by treating it like a disease. That is not acelebration of natural, normal, healthy sex and it is not cool.
