Christian and Jewish tradition always frowned on artificial birth control. Protestants uniformly condemned it until the Lambeth Conference of 1930, which was the breach in the wall.
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal. Reading the mind of another poster is a form of “making it personal.”

They counted the Boston phone book?
“Protestants uniformly condemned it until the Lambeth Conference of 1930, which was the breach in the wall.”
and a good “breach” it was......NO other religion preaches this....The incredibley poor should be able to use birth control without fear of eternal damnation.
Pretty hard to justify the “no birth-control” position when it adds to exisitng missery in poor countries..
This whole concept originated as a way to insure a base of Catholics for tithing..... The last thing the desperately poor around the world need...is this. Case in point for why other religions are taking hold in the most poor places. Don't bother to Flame away..(I'm turning off my mail)...but DARE to think about it....Hmmmm, another one who doesn't get it.
Do tell, what religion do you claim as your own?

Nope...more concern for the millions of abject poor that are deprived of birth-contol methods and watch their children hunt for garbage to eat...take a nice visit to the poor of Mexico City..the Church can stop some of it and won’t. I’m passionate...you (and many others) just take the easy road and blindly follow without thought.
What, you mean besides Judaism and Christianity? And, come to think of it, Islam? Though Islam is more widely observant of the prohibition, which is why they look likely to win -- see Europe. And read Mark Steyn.
Thanks.
Charles Provan's "the Bible and birth control"??
Humanae Vitae itself?
Martin Luther on birth control?
Mahatma Gandhi on birth control when the Anglicans approved it in 1930?
Read any Germain Grisez?
Read any Janet Smith?
It is typical of liberals that they don't engage a conservative argument intellectually; they merely dismiss its proponents as "naive" or "stupid," or insinuate that they don't "think for themselves".
Sound familiar?
So: tell us your bona fides. What have you read of the intellectual case against contraception?
Thanks x2.
Test question: what method of family planning costs nothing, is >99% effective, and has been successfully taught to poor women in India?
Then may we assume you're pro-abortion, too? Just as effective in "preventing" poor people! Such compassion! /s
