Pope Benedict said today that sex can become “like a drug.” This guy is a genius. I don’t think anyone, especially anyone in the scientific community, was aware that when you have sex, your body releases a hormone called dopamine. Dopamine increases our want for more of the stimulus, in this case, sex.

The Pope announced his groundbreaking discovery today after discussing the ludicrous and arbitrary 40 year old document, Humanae Vitae, which outlaws things like birth control, condoms, etc.  You know, things that help stop the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, over-population that leads to famine in developing countries.  Oh, not to mention the cessation of possible future Catholic psychotics. But limiting the population of potential Catholics is definitely not in the Pope’s best interest.

Come on Popeness, it’s been said before, and I’ll say it again: People are going to have sex, why not be responsible about it?  Just ask your thousands of committed priests that have sex with each other and little boys.

These dogmatic teachings and those who follow them have a distorted view on reality.

Get this, the Pope goes so far to say, “Forty years after its publication, that teaching not only shows itself to be unchanged in its truth, but it reveals the farsightedness with which the problem was tackled.”

I don’t know what truth this actually holds, but I definitely think 40 years is any indication of farsightedness given humans have been around for 200,000 years and your religion for 2008 years.

It just reconfirms the pity (or maybe disgust) that I have for people who can’t make their own moral and responsible life decisions and give complete blind control to an authority figure to do it for them.
