[b]Suicide

2280 - Everyone is responsible for his life before God who has given it to him. It is God who remains the sovereign Master of life. We are obliged to accept life gratefully and preserve it for his honor and the salvation of our souls. We are stewards, not owners, of the life God has entrusted to us. It is not ours to dispose of.[/b]

"Put on life" was the wrong way of wording it I suppose; "Are given on life" would have been more theologically correct.

The intrinsic value of life is that you have to torture someone by condemning him to a life of unbearable pain against his will.

In other words, you are full of shit.

Considering you didn't get a damned thing right, I would reckon at least one of us full of something. 

It seems to be coming out your mouth though, so I ain't sure it's shit.

It's not about life it's about control

It's not about easing their suffering, it's about hatred of humanity.

Respecting people's will is not the hate of humanity. What the Catholic Church does is force its will on adult people, which is abuse.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Nah it's about easing human suffering which could less hateful towards humanity if it tried.

Yep, Christianity is an inherently white religion.

Then so is Islam. That must sting a little bit, eh?

Right; the mortal sin being the taking of a life, hence my statement that secularists/atheists tend to fundamentally misunderstand the value that Christians' put on human life.

No, taking a life is not, in and of itself, a mortal sin. Don't be stupid.
