Today's top news story was the Obama administration bowing to pressure from the Catholic church on the forced coverage of contraception to all businesses. Last time I checked, just about every organized religion is a business with employees, an accounting department and benefits.
Religion has gotten so powerful to cause a change in public policy, yet when someone wants them to change and stop trying to implement laws on a book that is more than 2000 years old, they claim religious discrimination and that we are not respecting their beliefs.
Something is so very wrong with this picture.
The idea that family planning on a modern level cannot be allowed just busts my balls. Oh, my bad. Maybe the busting of ones' balls means no contraception can destroy a human life, that would make these backwards religious leaders pleased as punch.
Seriously, when are we going to grow up as a society and stop letting these supposed leaders control the majority of the citizens - including a growing number that believes in no religion? It might be for a while, but I surely wish it would happen sooner.
And speaking of busted balls, maybe someday we will have a political system that grows a pair and tells these illogical control freaks to stay the fuck out of individual family planning.
