A CASE FOR POPULATION CONTROL, VII

You make a great case for the brokenness of our socioeconomic system. No one could argue that the discrepancy between the rich and poor is shameful at best. No one could rightly contend that actions need not be taken. What I take issue with is the solution you offered. The suggestion that a dramatically smaller population would elevate the economic outlook universally seems a bit naive. In fact I believe it ignores thousands of years of recorded history that evidence the contrary. Inequity within the human race has always been a problem. Even when populations were significantly smaller many still struggled to survive. One of God’s greatest prophets, Moses, made a statement that bears heavily upon this subject. He said, “For the poor will never cease to be in the land.” (Deuteronomy 15:11a) I contend that the great tragedy that exists in our day is not poverty but apathy. The solution is not to get rid of people but to feed them. The solution for the hurting will not be found in genocide, euthanasia, or Planned Parenthood, but in a genuine love and concern for ones neighbor. Moses having established that poverty would be a perpetual problem instructed the people to, “freely open your hand to your brother, to your needy and poor in your land." (Deuteronomy 15:11b) I contend that poverty is not the great crime rather apathy is. The solution is but a double portion of the compassion that Jesus Christ exemplified.

Dear sir or madam,
Thank you much for your kind comments. Here once again, I must bring to your attention the statement on the banner that,” it is not the way I think you should live, it is not the way that I want you to live, but it is the way I know you will live”. I follow the trends of times and extrapolate from there what the future may look like. I am not advocating a population control per se, what I mean to project, however, is that if the current trends continue, we will come to a point, soon, population controls will become imperative for the survival of humanity.
The dichotomy we face today is this, if we were to have everyone (ok, almost) equal, in material possessions and creature comforts, we will destroy the earth’s resources in a short time, I addressed this point in “new world order, 2003”. The alternative is to leave many behind so the few can survive, or to institute the population controls. I empathize with your view and understand your desires, but the reality is not confirming to your wishes.
I am an avid student of the ancient writings, and try to see how they relate to the present. Therefore I have noted the same writings in this exposition. The modern ethos decline to follow these “holy scriptures” of all colors. A further study of this blog will show you how I have pleaded over time for the use of common sense and decency in our lives. Today, we fail to see that the Pharaohs were also all powerful and mighty and considered themselves as “gods” above reproach. They too had accumulated immense wealth and power, and built pyramids and were buried with gold and silver and food. Today we see, as the bible says, none of their riches saved them from the ultimate. Alas! Men yet fail to see the folly of their pursuits, and just to make it fun for you, here is a quote from the Koran

36:30 (Picktall) Ah, the anguish for the bondmen! Never came there unto them a messenger but they did mock him!

36:31 (Picktall) Have they not seen how many generations We destroyed before them, which indeed return not unto them;




LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE
