Santorum: Obama Agenda Not 'Based on Bible'

Santorum isn't even right about his own religion - if he accuses Obama of a phony religion, he should look at the comments made by the pope. They are very much in line with Obama's environmental concern. So, it seems that Santorum is the one with the phony religion. And nowhere in the Bible is contraception mentioned - so he could be considered a heretic in the area.

Of course contraception is mentioned in the Bible. Genesis 38:6-9, the sin of Onan.
 
Santorum: Obama Agenda Not 'Based on Bible'

If Santorum is already assuming that he has moral authority to judge what/what is not based on the Bible, while still a presidential candidate, imagine what he would be like if he was actually elected president!

A frothy mixture of.........
 
wow. people are still talking about a misquote of Santorum?
 
He's a bad Catholic?
Or is he evangelical? That's scarier than a bad Catholic.

I don't know about being a bad Catholic, but apparently he doesn't listen to his superiors.

That's what happens when people that are not too smart try to interpret what the Bible says. And, even though the Catholic church pushes this thought, most Catholics (98%) do not even practice it.

I don't see anywhere in that verse that would support your statement. Judah was giving Onan an order, Onan disobeyed Judah, so it appears that the sin is not in that he spilled his sperm, but rather that he didn't obey what he was told to do. Judah just happens to be the ancestor from which Jesus was to be born, and also, in those days, the whole idea was to populate the earth.



Nowhere in the Bible does God specifically mention that we should only have intercourse with the intent of having a child. If he had, our world would have been over-populated a long time ago, even if only believers obeyed Him.



Genesis 38:8-9
[SUP]8[/SUP] Then Judah said to Onan, “Sleep with your brother’s wife and fulfill your duty to her as a brother-in-law to raise up offspring for your brother.” [SUP]9[/SUP] But Onan knew that the child would not be his; so whenever he slept with his brother’s wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from providing offspring for his brother.

How could birth control possibly have been mentioned in the Bible?

If you look, you will see that automobiles, airplanes, and computers are not mentioned either. Why might that be?

Withdrawal is a method of birth control. Which undoubtedly has been practiced for as long as humans figured out that intercourse caused babies. Which is mentioned in the bible.

Birth control - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Religious texts
The Book of Genesis references withdrawal, or coitus interruptus, as a method of contraception when Onan spills his semen on the ground so as to not father a child with his deceased brother's wife Tamar. The Talmud states that "there are three women that may cohabit with a sponge: a minor, a pregnant woman and one that nurses her child". Subsequent commentaries clarify that the "sponge" was an absorbent material, such as cotton or wool, intended to block sperm.[4

13_2 Birth Control in Antiquity The ancient Egyptians also practiced birth control. A medical document from 1500 BC lists substances that it claims 'stops pregnancy.' According to the papyrus, unspecified amounts of acacia gum, dates, and an unidentified plant were mixed with plant fiber and honey and formed into a pessary (vaginal suppository). Modern researchers have found acacias to be spermicidal.

No PC's but the bible does mention apples :p

there you go, no one needs to pay for birth control, just gather a few acacia leaves and put them in the proper place.
