So, in completely other news, the reason I am home and able to post at all is that a water main broke in my library, flooding it, and we can't even work on rescuing books and computers because of the asbestos!
Oh no!! Good luck rescuing the books!
Hey, if it means I don't have to read any more, woo and, might I add, a big hoo.

Spike's Bitches 22: You've got Angel breath
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Trust my rage
So, sex is only appropriate when there is a possibility of creating life?
ETA: Okay, I see the difference. This is what I wrote before:
I think their belief is based on the idea that all life is precious. I can't see how that could be immoral.
What I should have said is that their anti-birth control beliefs are based on their view that sex should always lead to the possibility of life. Not my view, but it's hardly immoral.

Not exactly. If God caused the "not possible" it's ok. So women beyond childbearing years do not sin by having sex.

Always Anti-fascist!
I think that was said before Homicide Oh, yeah, I know they didn't invent it...just the last time I heard it. Munch? Kellerman?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
It isn't that I dislike it, I'm just kinda neutral on it,
My BF is the same way. Can't wrap my mind around it. Must be more of a male thing (love those sweeping generalities!).

Nope. I hate 'em. Always.

If I only had a brain...
Shit. I DO have a partial rotator cuff tear.

Up with the sun
I'm dropping out of this conversation because I really don't know enough about Catholicism to respond, and also because I know I see it through a little bit of a fuzzy glow. (I wasn't raised Catholic, but my mom's family is, hardcore, as is my husband's mother. I also worked for a liberal Catholic organization briefly right after college.) It saddens me that people single the Catholic Church out for criticism so much over other Christian denominations, but I recognize some of it is deserved.

How did you do that, Betsy? Ouch!
