STEVE Hmmm Ron, why the hell should any sane, rational, normal person believe all that stuff, when we know that sex is a totally natural, normal, healthy biological phenonenon, which is much the same in humans and bonobos. The reason catholics believe all this is that usually as kids, they were conditioned, using fear and hope to manipulate poor little kiddies minds.. The catholics, or any other religion, have not provided one scrap of evidence for their beliefs in the supernatural. We have entered the age of reason and science and passed the stage of superstition. You have yet to provide a single good logical reason why a cell with 46 chromosomes should be considered sacred.
