There's an extreme difference between the love between man and wife being warped and the usage of condoms to prevent the spread of disease. Then again, you probably aren't equipped to understand that, so I won't bother to explain.
Sorry, I didn't mean to be patronizing. What I probably should have said is that, as a non-Christian, you won't accept my arguments on this particular topic as valid, so it seems pointless debating it.

I hardly think I gave the implication that rubber is evil. I was stating a fact- the discovery of rubber in the early 19th/late 18th century greatly accelerated the sexual revolution. No need to get testy
And it's an issue now because, unlike back then, it is more economically beneficial to have LESS children, since most of them actually survive past childhood. It's a concern of the Lord because, as I said before, sex is sacred. THAT is quite clear in the Bible, particularly in the case of Onan, and others.
In any event, I apologize if my last post made you angry in its tone. Though i am trying to keep a level head, this is a topic I'm known to be over-passionate about.
