- starmanjones, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i am sure i lack the religion gene. i've never been interested in any of it. it used to be that my eyes glazed over. with the rise oppressive religious nationalism in the U.S and the middle east... i get angry at rigid dogma that resists all common sense. i guess what i hope is that religion as we know it is in its last throws... maybe i need to read this. maybe i need to know more about the enemy. its painful stuff bother with. so uninteresting except from the point of veiw as a social straight jacket that has hurt more than it has ever helped. maybe it another nail in the coffin of radical mystical politics.

Humanae Vitae, written during the sexual revolution, presents a foresight of the outcome - high divorce rates, the denial of the humanity of members of the opposite sex in favor of a view of them as a sexual / economic human resource, the denial of the humanity of the unborn, and the breakdown of the family. - stonebear, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1It’s just a novel. Get over it.
