Talk politics.

The advocates of despotism like to see themselves as being in the right. In their own eyes, they are blessed angels who crusade against the hellish assaults upon something they call "life." When a human fetus is not carried to term, they feel a personal blow in the gut from the hand of Satan. When a human embryo is flushed from a uterus by a chemically induced menstrual flow, these self-appointed angels of "life" feel as if the forces of evil have gained one more sacrificial victim. When a particle of human pollen bumps its unthinking head against a latex barrier, these despotic souls cringe in agony, tearing their garments and gnashing their teeth in despair over the loss of "life."

These people were wrong before when they claimed that the Antipodes did not exist. They were wrong about consubstantiality and about Jewish literature. They used the arts of darkness to attack anyone who knew better. They persecuted women who practiced healing with herbal remedies, not because these women were a threat to life, but because their detractors were jealous of the ability to heal. Wise women earned respect by helping people rather than by beating them. This put wise women clearly in Satan's camp against the vicars of the One True God.

An ancient sage once commented that people do not sustain themselves only on physical nourishment. There is more to human life than mere physical existence. Those who would force a woman to bear a child against her will have no respect for such ancient wisdom. Many of these vicious vipers have even taken an oath that they will not be the cause of new human life. They seek to enjoy the blessings of limiting their own fertility as they would deny those blessings to others.

I recently remarked to some friends about my personal fortunes. Unlike my peers, I had been spared the shackles of mental enslavement. It was as if the Heavens had smiled upon me, granting me the ability to experience a life that had been denied to others. No charlatan ever professed to dedicate my life to the caesarian Jesus. I never participated in a cannibalistic ritual, nor was I ever urged to do so by family members. Instead, I was encouraged to pursue a path of depth and meaning that cannot be fathomed by the small minds who occupy opulent quarters. Vicious vipers posit me in the camp of Satan and it makes me glad. The ancient sages were all accused of impiety and blasphemy by charlatan authority figures. It is a good place to be.

Had I succumbed to the deceptions of Roman magic, I would have lived a less full life. I would have become a mother against my will. My existence would be more like that of a beast of burden. The yoke of Rome is hard and its burden is heavy.

Do you believe the Vatican when they profess to "defend life?"

There is no evidence that Early Christians heeded the Roman ban on birth control. In fact, there are hints pointing to the practice of birth control in the early Christian literature. Apparently, the Church didn't subscribe to Roman law on the matter until it took control of imperial affairs in the fourth century.

The ban on birth control made sense for an urban population at the time. If each family did not give birth to an average of five children, the population would decline from disease and warfare. This threat to the city's power was also a threat to the Church's power. One of the crimes that heretical sects were accused of was the crime of trafficking in prophylactic herbs.

To this day, the subjects of the Vicar of Caesar are prohibited from practicing birth control, except in limited contexts such as through monasticism. It is easy to determine whether a person is slave or free by establishing whether they follow the ban or not. Do you obey the laws of Caesar, or do you conform to a higher jurisprudence?
