Religion often gets in the way of that. I got to know a priest very well and he wanted me to believe the correct interpretation of the Lords Supper prior to membership. Of course how could I, if I could not conceive of the idea in my head. It was a silly requirement for church membership. And because of that experience I became disillusioned about my families religion. &lt;br /&gt;I would best describe myself as an Agnostic, since I believe that no one can really prove that God exists. All of them are what some man claims happened, but we don&#039;t know whether that was true, since we weren&#039;t there with them. For all we know they could have been making it up to suit their own philosophy or theological ideas.</description><pubDate>Tue, 18 Jul 2023 12:41:07 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://churchandstate.org.uk/2016/09/the-catholic-church-and-sex-2/#IDComment1119606229</guid></item><item>

You can&amp;#039;t be serious to suggest that doing otherwise would result in more children. Of course, we are talking about sexual behavior prior to birth control.</description><pubDate>Thu, 31 Mar 2022 22:25:25 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://churchandstate.org.uk/2016/09/the-catholic-church-and-sex-2/#IDComment1111158597</guid></item><item>
