Critical Miss: The Cardinal's Corner

[Mr Companion]

I used to know an atheist, who would say "why doesnt the church allow condoms, its so stupid". I would reply why dont you just not have sex until your married? he replied, why would I do that? The conversation ended shortly after that. ( also Im not saying all athiest are like that, just that one person)

Yeah I know what you mean, just doing something because its a physical bond of passion before god approves is ridiculous. Anyway im sure you would like me, I dont even do sex at all.

Here's a tip: Cause it feels good?

Here's a tip: I was being massively sarcastic?

It should be noted that the Pope did favor use of condoms when not used for contraception.

I also agree, condom do not always lower the infection rate if everyone is having causal sex. Things break, there is still 1-in-a-1000 chance (I think) of infection. but if you have sex with 200 people that is still 1-in-5.

Of course, I really do not care what non-Christians do with their lives.

1 in a 1000 chance for each of the 200 people doesn't not mean a 1 in 5 chance your infected.

Also it depends on the brand of the condom if it will break the first time.

You are right. It was late and i reversed things in my head thank you

 

[RelexCryo]

Laughed at the water carrying option(also the strangling someone with a condom>.<)

One other thing is it me or does the females in the comic getting bigger boobs?

One can only hope

That said, I hope that these Cory and Greg reveiw Brink when it comes out. It is shaping up to be awesome.

 

[MasterChief892039]

Pfft, who wants to have safe sex when you can use condoms to have a nice, wholesome, Christian water balloon fight instead?

 

[Jinxey]

Atheists are quite possibly the most butthurt religion out there (and yes, you're a religion).

This was a funny comic, no need to get your knickers in a twist about throwing jabs at the pope. If I'm Catholic and can chuckle at it why can't you? lol

The conversation ended because you're an idiot. The atheist person didn't say anything incriminating or illogical, you just immediately dismissed him/her because their views weren't congruent with yours.

Saying "why don't you just wait 'til marriage' is completely unrelated to the topic because firstly, the person you were talking to was atheist and waiting until marriage is a mainly religious concept. Therefore it's something that atheists are under no obligation to submit to. Asking an atheist, "Well why don't you just wait until marriage to have sex" is like asking "Well why don't you just wait for the sky to turn purple and rain watermelons?" - it's completely irrelevant, which is why he responded with "why would I do that".

Second, saying "why don't you wait 'til marriage" implies that you think condoms are only useful for preventing pregnancy. Sure, a married person only has one sexual partner, but it might surprise you to learn that people with STDs can get married too. What's a couple supposed to do if one person has herpes or AIDS but the other is uninfected? Should the uninfected person surrender themselves to a life destroying disease just because some man in a big hat said condoms are a no-no? Just because you only have one sexual partner in your life doesn't guarantee you're safe from STDs, especially considering there are other ways to become infected besides sex (for example, STDs can be transmitted from mother to child during vaginal birth, oral herpes can be contracted from sharing drinks, and although all blood donations are screened, there's still a small chance that receiving a blood transfusion could land you with an unexpected disease. Just because you and your partner waited 'til marriage doesn't ensure that both partners are "clean").

Honestly, I wouldn't have even bothered responding to your comment if you hadn't ended it with "Im not saying all athiest are like that, just that one person". It's that kind of imaginary superiority disguised as humbleness that just pisses me right off.

I was laughing my ass off... then I realized you were serious.

"There may be a basis in the case of some individuals, as perhaps when a male prostitute uses a condom, where this can be a first step in the direction of a moralization, a first assumption of responsibility," (as quoted by pope Benedict in the linked interview) --LOL WUT!?

 

[Lazarus Long]

Haven't you got the memo? god is fucking with us. If you believe in fossils, massive amounts of scientific data constantly peer-reviewed and fact-checked to ensure accuracy, logical thinking, scepticism of beliefs that go against all of reason and yet are picked up because they're in a really old books, and generally using your god-given free will to ultimately decide that it's all a load of BS because of the huge amounts of evidence that he put on earth, then you're going to hell!

But it seemed so plausible! AAAAHHH!

I think one the major problems in the Catholic Church (and by all means, some actual Catholics are welcome to correct me if I'm wrong) is that all the policy-making and such is done by people who basically live in the Church. As opposed to Earth. People who have dedicated their entire lives (if you're being charitable and not cynical) to their faith. Joe Catholic in Punxsutawney, however devout he may be, has a secular life, too.

That skydiver is screwed, but at least he won't get anyone pregnant.

Not on the way down anyway.

Roman Catholic here, saying: Anyone who obeys all parts of Catholic dogma is a moron. You should follow the basics, but when its about a personal issue, it should be your descision.

Former Catholic here saying: if you don't follow all parts of the dogma, why bother following at all? It's really just asking to be associated with a group you don't actually agree with. Nothing's stopping you from being an independent moralist.

Unless you believe that not acknowledging the correct invisible entity will result in an eternity of torment. In which case you've bought into the world's largest chain letter.

Because I can. Let me worship how I will, and you worship how you will, alright?

...Why WOULD you do that? Explain.

No offence man, but you just said anyone who worships in a specific way is a moron, and then got defensive when somebody else called you out on it. Kinda hypocritical if you don't mind me saying.

That is certainly a cold comfort before an organ rupturing impact.

Oh, but he just leaves himself so open for these jabs as in unexcommunicating a priest who is a Holocaust revisionist and someone who preaches that Israel helped plot 9/11.
Seriously, the man's problem is not that he is Catholic.

What does this have to do with a gaming webcomic?

Well, opinions are opinions are opinions. I got defensive because he's questioning my way of worship. Meanwhile, I don't question how a person worships, I just don't approve of it. Difference being, I don't think their way is correct, but I'll give them the freedom to do as they please. And that, my friends, is religious freedom: People can worship however they see fit, even if you see it as stupid. However, it technically can't be wrong if they follow a creed they agree to in their heart/mind. Stupid, yes. Wrong, no. Won't work for you, absolutely.

tl:dr I said they were stupid, but they have the right to be wrong to me. I also have the right to be wrong to them.
