I didn't read that one... I was too sick of the crap by that time.

Oh certainly... the material was presented such that they let things
through all the time even if they don't fail for other purposes... anyhow
I was talking about a tested and known good condom.

That was the one I read.  I almost thought it was halfway decent.
I think the last one I read I went looking for because I have problems
with the whole fear of sex/sex is evil/no sex before marriage thing, and I
figured that if I could stomach a cartoon or two as a point of thought
without going that's total biased B.S... I'd go looking for their take on
sexual matters... I wasn't happy with it at that point.  So I left.

Anyhow

What I did read of it online was awfully depressing and "loveless".  Even
the kindest most informative sites point to a religion of intolerance, the
sword, and a lack of love.
