If this is an example of those books, Amazon is not going to sell very many KindleUnlimited memberships.

On second thought, I can't see anybody trusting him with a cash register.  Jesus is likely to order him to take the contents to the local casino and increase it ten-fold at the blackjack table.  "Don't worry, son, you can't fail.  God is on your side." He probably works in a call center taking complaints about a bank's service.

It's probably related to the creationist claim that they don't exist - they're really Homo sapiens with unusual skeletons (and/or the curse of Ham).  The Neanderthal stories she posts are usually about how sophisticated they were.

Yep. Catholic Catechism: Quote An unnatural sexual act is any type of sexual act that is not unitive and procreative. Examples of unnatural sexual acts include oral sexual acts, anal sexual acts, and manipulative sexual acts (i.e. masturbation of self or of another). All unnatural sexual acts are intrinsically evil and always gravely immoral because these acts lack the unitive and procreative meanings, which are required by God for sexual acts to be moral ..... The use of contraception deprives the act of natural intercourse of the procreative meaning, causing the sexual act to be non-procreative. The use of contraception is intrinsically evil... http://www.catechism.cc/article....m
