I just can't be bothered to finish watching this. I made it to 4:46.

Ridiculous.

I do think it's interesting the producers seem to be acknowledging evolution. At least, I can't think of any other reason we should care that some chimp turned gay rather than having sex with lady chimps on Depo-Provera.

But if they're our standard for behavior, I guess there'll be three girls for every boy when we give up "contracepting." Kinky!

Also-- don't you think many guys might find a woman who is completely fertile and refuses to use contraception a sexual turnoff?

I mean, kids are kind of a big, long-lasting side effect.

But, you know, whatever. Pheromones!

Horse do-do. I'm much more attracted to a woman who's on the pill. I know I won't wind up with a FBMlet to take over my life.

Been on birth control for 16 years now, haven't had a problem attracting the mens :think:

I would like to see the science behind that anyway...how does your body thinking you are pregnant mean you're not fertile? If anything it's proof you are :ask:

Great is the cherry picking with this one. That is, in the few bits that are not totally bollocks. :fp2:

Can't believe I watched the entire thing. For those that haven't, the god bomb eventually drops at 9 minutes, and then it's proselytizing to the end.
Although it may look like a forum, this site is actually a crowd-sourced science project modelling the slow but inexorable heat death of the universe.

This film promotes religion? :o

The bit that got me the most was the comparison with fertilised eggs to humans and the dishonest use of a picture of a foetus to pull the heart strings instead of a single cell.

As I said on RatzSkep.

[quote="Animavore";p="1486641"]Had to laugh when they compared the self-abortion of a fertilised egg due to the pill with killing a baby!

I dare anyone to try tell me they would feel as guilty, remorseful and distraught over accidently knocking over a vial containing a fertilised egg in an IVF treatment centre as they would for dropping a baby on its soft, squishy head. I will call that person a liar. The truth is you'd say, 'Oops!' and simply wipe up with a tissue, toss it in the bin and not care a whit. Also, did you notice as they mentioned this they showed a picture of a fetus to try tug on the heart strings? When what they should've shown was this.

Doesn't quite have the same resonance, does it?
The comparison of a fertilised egg to a human being is the most underhanded and egregious falsehood the Church propagates.[/quote]

Well the whole thing is that you won't be producing pheromones if you're on the pill and therefore men won't be attracted to you.

But, hang on... How can we find sexy-time pictures of women or porn a turn-on? Do they spray them with pheromones? What about the women in my head?

:? WTF?!

Remember! Condoms are not a chewing gum that provides oral contraception.

No. Didn't make sense the second time either.
