One of the greatest tragedies in the history of mankind has been the hijacking of morality by religion.

It is so easier to place the heavy burden on the weak, than carrying it ourselves…now who said that?!

I guess, once you’re born, it’s OK being exposed to all sorts of violence and torture. The ‘act of God’.

The Catholic Church isn’t hypocritical. It’s been doing this kind of thing for centuries. Excommunicating.. molesting children…but abortion – never.

-Doctors said the girl’s case met both these conditions, but the Catholic Church said the law of God was above any human law.-

The concept of the so-called ‘law of God’ is made by human beings and those human beings believe in it. Believe it or not.

I can’t forget the incredibly callous remark on the comments-board of timesofmalta.com about this incident. Something about how awful of the state to enforce the abortion on the girl. Remarkably that comment is now removed (I read it two days ago, so someone must have felt it appropriate to censor it a week after the article was published).
