woolybanana Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 This is a bit illogical isn't it? What is the link between rising population and religion. Is it a sine qua non that religion can only succeed if women are prepared to spend their lives breeding like the proverbial rabbits and drop everything else.Surely, following his idea, given that the population of the world is far too high, secularism is then the only way to save the world from man's out of control breeding habits.http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8345837.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooby Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 It is also slightly concerning that, on balance, the more educated families have less children. So as a consequence the next generations are going to be dominated by religious fundamentalists and watchers of the X factor...scary thought.

Gastines Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Another reason why we don't understand other countries culture. The nations/areas that are most suffering from floods,droughts andchronic food shortages seem to have an abundance of small children and babies all born into the same cycle. When we see the pictures from Darfur for example there are thousands of starving children but it seems that the men and women of the area are so reliant on aid that the idea must be to keep the need.Perhaps if certain arms suppliers sent condoms and contraceptives for a change,it might redress the situation. Fairly obvious that the present system is just an ongoing one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I always thought people in regions such as Darfur had more children because they recognise the survival rate is low - its a vicious circle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, I find it slightly odd that religions who have historically frowned on unbridled lust (or even the odd, chaste, bit of marital sex) now seem to be urging us to couple-up and procreate. Frankly, I'd rather have a cup of tea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gastines Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 To Russethouse's point I would think the survival rate is so low because of the conditions into which they are born and live in. Would the pictures regularly shown on the T.V. have as much impact on the west if there were fewer ? That is part of the vicious circle that wants breaking. I don't suppose the Kalashnikofs all the men seem to have fire BLANKS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
