News: God-based Morality Is Dangerous
The Pope, as a primary spokesman for God-based morality, again demonstrates its immorality to people. It’s that thorny issue for God according to the Pope and the Roman Catholic church apparently, but for few others. Is it morally okay to use condoms to reduce HIV infection? According to the Pope on behalf of his God it is No. The Pope is quoted in a Times article as saying
‘that contraception was “an offence against the law of God and nature”’ (full article here)
Morality is a human issue. We should not allow self-appointed spokespeople for invisible - many would say non-existent - deities to proclaim absurd moral laws to deliberately harm others.
