What do expect from a society of pedophile that use religion to prey upon women.

Flashback to only a year and a half ago when I was trying super-hard to be Catholic and helping out at a confirmation study session: the kids had to fill out a worksheet about who they would throw off a boat at sea if there was only enough water for five people and there were six people in the boat.

Hypothetically, the boat contained an 89-year-old with terminal cancer, a baby with a severe genetic disorder that would kill him within weeks, a white-supremist, a convicted murderer, a rich woman, and one other person, like a rock star or something. The kids all came up with different solutions about who should go over the side.

Of course, after each kid presented his or her idea about how to solve the problem, the youth minister came out and explained that all the kids were wrong. They couldn’t throw anybody out of the boat because God might save them. One kids had the cajones to ask, “So, we just condemn them all to die from dehydration?” The answer: “Well, if it’s God’s will.”

It sounds warm and fuzzy on the surface, of course. Every life matters, suffering and pain are meaningful (even in infants!) and so on, but it celebrates passivity and victimhood and operates under the idea that allowing a woman to die, leaving a widowed spouse and orphaned children, is worth it so that a body without a brain can survive for a few hours of pain.

One of the saints venerated by the pro-life movement is, of course, a woman who died, leaving her husband with four motherless children, rather than have a hysterectomy, which the Catholic church would actually have been OK with, believe it or not.

Not exactly sure what I’m saying here other than that this is how they justify this cruelty and violence and that yeah, it’s totally fucked.

If it’s so right and moral, his grief shouldn’t be difficult to swallow at all.
