Not a problem.
The catholic church has a position on contraception. In this thread you've asked us "what -is- good, and how do we determine it?" You've also stated (iirc) that god helps you to understand -why- things are good (or bad, ostensibly).
What is your moral assessment of the churches position on contraception*? Is it moral, or immoral...is it "good" or "bad"...and how do you know that, how has god helped you to understand -why- it is good or bad (whichever you go with)...and would you share that -why- with us?
The additional bit, in parenthesis at the bottom, essentially asked you how you take these questions when they are asked -of you-, and your experience with this conversation up to this point. You might be feeling a little bit of what we feel in this conversation...you might be having a common experience with us, right now. So...what is it like?
*More academically, the church refers to natural law....and gods disgust for the act, but is something right simply because it is natural law, and does god's disgust actually form a proper moral justification?
