let me preface by saying, that i am not religious as i dont believe in god or the devil or whatever deity written in a 2000+ year old fanfiction book talks about. however i was raised religious so i have an insight on what the church does and does not condone. the church is not telling anyone, even africans to go around and assrape anyone male or female. the church wants virgin men to meet virgin women, get married, stay faithful to each other, have kids and of course worship the christian god all while working for a living. this is a basic plan that people have followed for over 2000 years and i gotta admit, while being kinda boring, you cant really fuck shit up too bad if you follow that plan. you cant blame the church for Uganda doing it wrong.It's more than just a matter of trying to discourage premarital sex by making sure as many of the negative outcomes remain in force as possible, since birth control is held to be wrong even when used within the context of marriage. They're advancing a belief system which means that women produce children on a regular basis from the time they reach fertility and marry until they either die or (if they live long enough) or reach menopause, regardless of how ill-equipped these countries are for handling that level of reproduction. The countries in turn remain constantly in need of the Church's missionary assistance, and therefore beholden to giving the Church's teaching traction in order to continue receiving that assistance.
The men aren't left out either, since "spilling your seed into the dust" (masturbation) is just as much a "sin" as using birth control is.
The church has executed anyone it didn't like through out history. It is only in modern times that it is slightly more forgiving.i did not minimize anything. i dont give a fuck what goes on in Uganda, could care less. im just saying that the religious nuts there are making their own rules if they deviate from the plan i posted above.
To be fair it was much more civilized compared to Roman times except maybe the inquisition and medieval torture devices....wait....its more brutal....The church has executed anyone it didn't like through out history. It is only in modern times that it is slightly more forgiving.
