Religiosity seems to be a human instinct. Even secularists and hard-core atheists are prone to engage in practices and beliefs that are fundamentally religious. One of these instances has to do with the belief, whose strongest philosophical articulation was provided by St. Thomas Aquinas, that whatever is natural is better, and, consequently, that whatever is unnatural must therefore be evil.This is why social conservatives and the catholic church rage against homosexuality and birth control, but this is also why bleeding-heart liberals and hippie-type progressives are all about 'organic' and 'all-natural' food.
Leave it to The Onion to refute the faulty logic upon which these beliefs are premised...
Naturally :)
