The number of people on the planet Earth is now…

Yes folks, the new year is upon us and the population is still growing out of control, and unjustifiably so. What good is it for us to pursue life saving medical treatments when the end result is over-population? What good does it does it do to find new sources of energy when we are unwilling to reduce the demand for it? We are in trouble people. With a current net growth in world population of 6.1 million people a month and rising something must be done, and done soon.
I know there are those of you whose first thought is one of horror that the heretic is challenging christian doctrine by suggesting mass birth control and abortion, and of course you would be right. On the other hand it is simple easier to suggest that secular institutions preach common sense since religious ones can’t seem to do that effectively nor do it without violating their own hypocrisies. While by no means the only group of hypocrites Christians are the worst when it comes to environmental balance. By preaching the the out of context and mistranslated “thou should not kill” commandment and the the “go forth and multiply” passage they have done more in modern times to over tax the environment than anything else. Where does the modern Christian think the food to feed an ever growing population is going to come from? Will there be mana falling from heaven? Will the Messiah come around from a daily feast of fishes and loaves? I say unto thee, what is the purpose of teaching a man to fish so he may feed himself for a lifetime, if there are no more fish to be had?
Happy New Years!
BTW: How will you know when the Messiah is here?
