This is the reason why I have no religion

Bad Day,
Bitch Please,
Stupid,
World Domination
For those who think I'm pretty much apathetic about the world, there are some concerns I do have and I fight for. One, I do understand the whole population explosion and how it affects children. I know, I'm not one to speak since I have five kids, but hubby and i make sure that every child is cared for and would not go hungry, cold, unsheltered or unclothed.
This Reproductive Health Bill is getting so much controversy here in the Philippines. The Catholic Church seems to adamant about it because, according to the clergy, it would mean moot because there are other ways of preventing unwanted pregnancy. Yeah...uh-huh...
What they really mean is, they don't want teenagers getting the license to hump around like dogs in heat, because that really is a sin. If sex was a sin, why did God make it feel so good?

Seriously though, the church can go on and state how wrong this bill is but they aren't doing anything to help out those families who just keep on spawning. They won't stop just because these priests tell them that God is unhappy with their nightly procreational activities. They'll nod their heads, say yes, go to confession and then as soon as the lights are off, fuck each other until their knees give way. It's stupid, really. Then when Mrs. Humpsalot goes to church pregnant the next month, you give them some crap about how children are blessings from God and prepare them for the kids' baptism.
Don't get me started on how the church teaches the women to be subservient to their husbands because that's what the bible says. Most of these women continue spewing kids forth because they practically have no choice. The men makes the decisions and the men just can't seem to keep it in their pants for more than a day!

We seem to forget that kids nowadays are too smart for their own good. My 5 year old daughter just called me dysfunctional and intellectually challenged. She's freaking 5. I learned about the definition of that word (and how to be Politically Correct) when I was in high school. She, along with her classmates, can go online and program the DVD player. I'm pretty sure she can handle a little thing called Sex Education.
Besides, my mother taught me early on. That's why I never got pregnant until I was 27, when I really wanted to and when I was really ready to.

You can't protect your children by saying something doesn't exist. You can't protect them from child molesters by saying these fuckers don't exist. You tell them who and what the fuck these kiddie fiddlers are and you teach them to recognize the signs and stay away from them. You teach them how to scream for help when they think they're being abducted. You tell them to stay away from strangers who offer them weird candy. You tell them to bite, kick, punch and scream their little lungs off if a bad person makes them feel uncomfortable. But you never, NEVER tell them that these people don't exist because that's like gift wrapping them for these fuckers.
In the same way, you can't tell them that they can't catch AIDS because they're good kids. They can catch AIDS if they have unprotected sex. You can't stop your kids from having sex - they're teenagers!!! They'll hump a lamp post with all the hormones surging through their bodies. I mean, you can't be there with them all the time, so the best thing you can do as a parent is to protect them. Let them know that they can't have STDs if they have protected sex. Protect them, educate them but don't tell them these things don't exist because you're doing them and yourself the greatest injustice.

Gah... I hate how religion is so powerful in this country. They shouldn't even meddle in the affairs of the state.
You know what we need? We need a bill that says we can raise our kids however the fuck we want. We need a bill that says "As long as you're not killing, abusing or beating your kids up physically, emotionally and psychologically, you can do whatever the fuck you want."
Or, we need a bill that says "If you can't afford to have more than two kids, DON'T!"
I need an Advil...
