Birth control is a “dispicably evil idea?”

Get real. There are reasons that the resources of the world seem to be growing shorter in supply. Economic growth in the third world is the most significant reason, and it would be a whole lot less significant if the demand for more goods in China was coming from just a few hundred million people instead of 1.1 billion people. That’s just a fact of economics, which can’t be denied.

We can either do this the easy way by sending them birth control, or we can wait until they are slitting each others throats, as well as our own, because there are too many of them, too few resources to support them.

• The creation has plenty of resources. We haven't even scratched the surface.
• Economic growth in the third world is a wonderful blessing from God toward all mankind. A rising tide lifts all boats.
• The Chinese people create many more goods than they consume. I'm grateful to God for creating all 1.1 billion of them. I pray that Christ continues to establish his kingdom among them.
• Your view of economics is pessimistically "zero sum". I believe that under conditions of virtue, liberty, creativity and hard work, the world's economy is geometrically progressive. Do you think that you would be richer if you were the only person in the world? Who are you to say how many people should have the right and the joy of life? Sure there is only a finite amount a matter available but we don't live very long and we can't take any of it with us.
