Contraception?!!!

Pope John Paul II had said that the bed of a married couple becomes and altar. They become one flesh and one body. One soul and one mind. The first time when both the male and female are completely vulnerable and naked, becoming part of God's plan. The purpose of reproduction and sustenance of human life and humanity.
            Now, i am not going to be talking about marriage or sex life or the twisted relationship between the two. I am going to be talking about my views on contraception. A few centuries ago or even a few decades ago, being pregnant before being married was frowned upon. In the early and still existing Jewish and Muslin traditions, contraception is not promoted and followed. This practice was mainly to ensure the upkeep of the Holiness and integrity of the marriage institution and the sex involved.
            Sex was meant to not be the driving force behind people getting married rather, it was designed as a lubricant or bond that held together the intimacy and trust and mutual surrendering in between couples. Raising kids and passing on traditions was the prime intended purpose behind the establishment of the marriage and family institutions.
              People can argue saying that families are not really necessary for the development of a child as we can see from the examples of many nobodies who became somebodies in life.But do all nobodies became somebodies? Human beings are biologically animals but the arguments basedbon general animal behaviour comparisonnis not valid as we are mentally nd psycjologically alienated from the rest pf the  organisms in known existence.
              Homosexuality is infact observed in animals. But don't cats follow lazers nd dogs fetch stuff? Don't monkeys imitate people? Don't rabbits hump anything? It is humanity that makes us human not the animostiy or the barbaric and self pleasing acts and the so called basic instincts. And the term basi insticts has even lost its true meaning. The basic instincts are the ones that are basically absolutely necessary to ensure the survival and existence. Which include but is not limited to hunger, thirst, security and reproduction.
            Sex is just a constituent in biological process that leads to a healthy relationship and is not intended to be a mere means of pleasure. Man becomes just another animal and not humane when sex is objectised. It is not a commodity of trade, it is not to be gambled with. Scientifically its proven that during sexual activity the brain produces certain neurochemicals that creates a bonding between the parties involved, this biochemical and psychological bond is what keeps married couples close.
                 Even though, unintentional and unwanted, adulterers and victims of sexual exploitation also experience this unbreakable link formation. Almost as if a part of eachothers souls get exchanged between the partners. Contraception just prevents the physiological aspect of the chemical bondage.
            Also having the contraceptive option has a direct and indifferent effect on objectivising women and antifeminism.Also, the health risks that relate to th consumption of these contraceptive pills or sypplements. The effects of these contraceptive could even result in infertility very long after the usage of them as reported.by missfortunate wanna be mothers who can never bare children no matter how much they wish they could take back their actions. 
              Ignorantly throwing away the natural gift of child baring amd regretting it is an act of arrogance and plain selfishness that follows. Also there is a popular trend of pro choice which is infact hiding the inhumane and cruel reality trending of proabortion with a beautiful and less disturbing catch phrase. Personally, I am pro life but i am not against contraception with justifiable causes. However, family planning is not a reason for abortion or contraception but its should result in abstainance and pro life in my opinion.

The Recent Same-sex Couple's Issues - IMO


So the other day in my religious studies class, my professor was talking about how religion, especially Christianity have been against same-sex marriages and trans-genders. He said that it is about time that the church changed its view on homosexuality since the society back then didn't know that homosexuality was a certain type of human nature that the individuals were born with and it has nothing to do with choice or pressure. 
                   Just to avoid the moaning and groaning and extreme anguish against me as a person let me make my stand clear before i move on with this blog. I was born and raised by good christian parents in the Roman Catholic tradition. I have been taught just about the same things as every other kid/ catholic - my age - about the dos and donts in the path to eternal life. I have went astray from my faith numerous times,, have questioned many of the churches views and even its authority. But this blog isn't about it. This blog is about the issues and what i think about it. I believe that according to the bible, homosexuality is wrong and i accept it and i also do think the same. However, I do not hate the homosexual, i dislike the "act of homosexuality." I do not and would not promote judging the individuals and stereotyping or discriminating against them,  because to me GOD IS THE ONE AND ONLY TRUE JUDGE. I ask others to do the same as well if they want to be treated with respect and dignity and kindness as they seek to be.
                     Now getting back to the topic. the recent Gay Rights bills proposal and the supreme court cases have stirred up a lot of debates and discussions, both on and off media and politics. I think that the issue is not "marriage" but "rights." I support equal rights for everyone. But as far as i know,"marriage" was and is not a right! It is just a privilege, just like a drivers license or a boating license issued by the proper authorities. Most people don't really think about it like that when the issue really comes into play. Also, the problem that Gay couples and transgender couples struggle with the most is "equal socioeconomic benefits" such as tax cuts, employment benefits, etc. 
       Like I said earlier, marriage is not a right and since it is not a right it is upto the authorities to determine the qualification. Ever since human history started, or based on the history lessons i have had there has never been a report of any religion on this planet supporting Gay marriage and just because their leaders dont say or express their dislike about the practise that doesn't mean that they are pro-gay. And Christianity is the only religion that is being crucified for this firm stand. Yes, CRUCIFIED by the very same society who murdered JESUS CHRIST, the very same JESUS WHOM THEY PRAISED 5 DAYS BEFORE. Just like what mark Anthony and Brutus manipulated the masses of Rome, the masses of today are manipulated by mere ignorance and narrowness of thought. Minds are like attention deficient monkeys on  drugs, hopping from thought place to another. 
     To the people who argue that homosexuality is a genetic trait, can i ask an honest question? Do you guys agree to the act of pedophilia ? IF not why? And what did the society think of abortion before it was legalized? what about after it was legalized? What do you think about incest? I mean psychologically every human is attracted to the parent of opposite sex! think about that. 
      I think that the proper authority to issue the "marriage license" would be the religion that the "couple" belongs to. Based on my research and conversation with friends from multiple religions i have come to the conclusion that as of right now no religion accepts gay unions as marriages. However, the government can still give the couple permission to a "civil-union" and make amendments to grant the same  benefits to these couples as well, thus assuring equal rights. I think that is the best solution. 

Again not making any offensive statements or suggestions but some honest thoughts and I am sorry if it emotionally hurt anyone.Thank you for your time,If you have anything to say about it please feel free to do so. You can inbox me, follow me on twitter or facebook.
