Condoms Finally Penetrate Primetime
It's not even as if condoms were a big secret. It's just that the most popular medium in the country-network television-is controlled by spineless, shortsighted douchebags. They choose to let the wretched worshippers who cling to delusions of a next life while quivering in fear of this one assert that perverted paradigm on saner folks. Thus, it's not until now that the simpering execs have finally been bribed into allowing Trojan™ ads on primetime TV.
It's not enough. It's time we recognize and proclaim the religious for what they are: people with a morality based on antiquated fiction, which is to say they have no morality at all. Sure, some religious rules may coincide with the greater good. But what are those rules based on? Sordid fairy tales that are just as likely to crap out backwards proclamations. Moral considerations are only valid if they're true, and there is no truth to religion.
Instead, all talk of morality should be challenged and critiqued on the basis of scientific fact and sound logic. If something is good or bad, that quality comes from its actual effect on the actual world, not what some fictional character may say about it.
So if someone says condoms are immoral, ask the person why. If the person mentions god, laugh and demand a real reason. This goes for everything else, too. We need to be vocal and clear about it-any sentiment rooted in piety deserves no respect.
