I find this a hard one, but as you'd really like me to answer it, I'll try to formulate an answer..
Thanks for your answer noblok. It's absolutely madenningly batshit crazy, but I appreciate it
My response to "I find this a hard one" is this: You find it a hard one because you believe in a rule-set that makes no sense.
It's a really easy one. Really really easy. But first you have to ditch the baggage of seeing the world as catholicism wants it to be, and start from seeing the world as it actually is, then go from there...
Christian dogma not only denys you solutions to moral problems before you've even considered them - it creates moral dilemmas that otherwise wouldn't exist.
For example: the moral question of catholicism saying people should abstain from sex because they don't want children. As nath said:
Why on earth should they try?
Why, Noblok?
If your reasoning is "'cause the church says so", then I'd say - if the church told you to put your face in the fire, would you?
