I really never understood the whole point of NFP. I mean, isn't it a form of birth control? I get being "open to life" but if you're charting and doing all this stuff to not get pregnant, that doesn't really seem like you're open to much life. Putting a LOT of effort into a child you're not ready for. Why not just go balls to the wall and say frick it?


It is always a sight to see when religions make up weird rules and then come up with even weirder exceptions to the rule that make about zero sense.


They will tell you nfp is 100% effective if done correctly, and that’s somehow open to life, but taking the pill, which is only 99% effective even when taken correctly, is forbidden.

Like that wire that runs around manhattan that lets Jews get around sabbath rules.

During our pre-cana class, they had an anonymous question box and someone legit asked if blowjobs were a sin. The class teachers(married couple with 9 kids) said no but the male has to finish inside the wife. In a marriage retreat that we went to, same question was asked and the priest leading the class said that all forms of oral sex shall be forbidden. Like, make up your goddamn minds here.

You think it’s weird that a religion which believes that God is the author of life (and that a main purpose of the union of man and woman is to participate in the creation of immortal souls) has a “rule” that it’s sinful to engage in the unitive act while denying God the chance to use the act for the creation of a person?

You can think it’s wrong, but the rule naturally follows from the belief.
