Here's the blue clicky to the evil Pastor.

I think it would be wise in our secular haste to differentiate between genuine and perverted variants of religion.

Buddha's advices qualify as religious script, as do Lao-Tze's, and many other writers on matters of the human spirit.

The Pope's opinion on condoms, on the other hand, is a small sample of the perversion of what is a natural human approach to mystery. And while there is a great deal of mystery still to uncover in the realm of space, energy and the cosmos and microcosmos, there is even more to be uncovered in the realm of thought, being, and the delicate web of energies involved in making dreams and data and understandings. Right, Horatio?

Let us not drink bathwater, but let us not throw out babies, either.
