Abstention to prevent conception is. (A sin)
Anyone want to help correct the odd belief that abstention from sex is sinful?

Well, if you’re going to call in your posse to “correct” me, you might as well start by correctly stating what I said.

In my post 298, I stated such.....

“How is it any different than what Onan did?

Preventing conception is preventing conception.

If the act of preventing conception is the sin, then NFP is sin.”

The Catholic argument as presented is that contraception somehow diminishes or cheapens sex to being just a satisfaction of the flesh. If the big issue is *wasting seed* then having sex only when the woman is not fertile is also *wasting seed*.

But I seriously don’t expect any Catholic who has been brought up with a Catholic mindset to see the argument from a different POV.

And it is lacking in integrity to portray someone’s comments in a sense in which they were not originally stated.
