That's why religion sucks

.
A classic example of why religion sucks. The pope is against the use of condoms .

"The Roman Catholic Church says marital fidelity and sexual abstinence are the best way to prevent the spread of HIV".

How dangerous is such a mentality? Very dangerous. The problem is that there are really people around the world who believe such things and follow what the pope tells them.

Religion is a defense mechanism. In fact, many religious ideas would be considered totally delusional if a non-religious person expressed them. But what the pope argues has a negative impact on the HIV epidemic. It is a case where delusions can affect reality. It is called insanity.
