Death of what is most distinctly human, huh? Fine. Let’s exterminate billions of people so we can go back to the pure human race as it existed before “consumerism”. Can’t see any flaw in that argument.

What an “f”ing fool! If all of the farmers in the world only produced enough to feed their own families (zero growth), billion of people would starve to death.

What an idiot! People WILL DIE without producing food and water! Where does the Archbishop of Canterbury think they come from - air?

Rowan’s been crazy for a long time, this statement is no surprise. His church is full of homosexuals and eco-nuts.

Dr Rowan Williams said that economic growth based on consumer power had led to towards 'the death of what is most distinctively human'.

He's right, assuming dysentery is what is "most distinctively human."

He's certainly not calling for an end to the tithes to his church.

well, my former cat, now deceased of old age, had that “most distinctively human” characteristic once, at 3 a.m., on the bed, less than 3 feet from my breathing mechanism..let me tell you, it woke me up faster than a bad dream about my ex-wife..
