Does a condom kill anyone? Yes, but not in a manner that is consistent with our discussion on the illusion of the control of life.

John Calvin is reported to have written: "For this is to extinguish the hope of the race and to kill before he is born the hoped-for offspring."

John Wesley and Martin Luther are in agreement with Calvin on that point.

For me, though, the issue is more about the illusion that we are in charge of life and death, that we are our own masters of the universe, masters of our own destiny and the destiny of others.

I think that is a shameful notion, and I think it is a notion that is inherent in the belief that we are in charge of the beginning of life.
