When it comes to science, Christians seem to weave in and out of having respectable beliefs.

I understand refuting some things, but fossils, carbon dating.... come on. Some of it is pretty damn exact.

Of course, this is a business decision made by the world's largest corporation. It has absolutely nothing to do with morality or ethics.

99.999999997% of statistics are made up, the other 0.000000003% are just wrong

I thought cannibalism was illegal, so why are the Catholics allowed to celebrate it.

"According to the Catholic Church, when the bread and wine are consecrated by the priest at Mass, they cease to be bread and wine, and become instead the Most Precious Body and Blood of Christ. The empirical appearances and attributes are not changed, but the underlying reality is. The consecration of the bread (known afterwards as the Host) and wine represents the separation of Jesus' body from his blood at Calvary; thus, this separation also represents the death of Christ. However, since according to Catholic dogma Christ has risen, the Church teaches that his body and blood are no longer truly separated, even if the appearances of the bread and the wine are. Where one is, the other must be. This is called the doctrine of concommitance. Therefore, although the priest (or minister) says, "The body of Christ", when administering the host, and, "The blood of Christ", when presenting the chalice, the communicant who receives either one receives Christ, whole and entire— "Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity".

Transubstantiation (from Latin transsubstantiatio) is the change of the substance of bread and wine into that of the body and blood of Christ, the change that, according to the belief of the Catholic Church, occurs in the Eucharist. It concerns what is changed (the substance of the bread and wine), not how the change is brought about."

Why don't these folks who claim to be Christians just express thier right not to buy or use contraceptives? Is that too complicated?
