I think it's sad that a Christian Bible teacher believes the world is "overpopulated". I think it's especially sad that the Word of God is being used to defend the "overpopulation" theory. IMO "overpopulation" is a lie of Satan and it's sad to see so many Christians believing this. For one thing no one can say for definite how many people will be on earth in 400 years time (assuming the Lord hasn't returned by then). I read where back in the 70s it was thought the earth would have a population of 8 billion by the year 2000 but it was in fact 6 billion. Plus by claiming there are too many people sounds as if God made a mistake by creating so many people and as we all know God never makes mistakes. Also, as one previous poster said "overpopulation" is used to promote abortion along with many other evils. Anyway even IF the world is "overpopulated" the events of Revelation will certainly solve that problem!

Politics. North America could actually feed the world a few times over. So instead of causing an economic collapse by giving our surplus to the needy, we throw it out.
I hate to side with a right-wing fanatic, but if liberals like the both of you wouldn't scare the third-world out of adopting Golden Rice and other GM crops, hunger would be on the way out right now. Fortunately there are still engineered foods (although not GM) helping over there that are not being suppressed, like Plumpy'nut.
I hate to point it out, but there are a lot of liberals, such as myself, and most of my friends, who are proponents of GM foods.
"there are a lot of liberals, such as myself, and most of my friends, who are proponents of GM foods."
I forgot to mention that the DDT ban, that kills millions in developing countries due to the now unchecked proliferation of malaria, is another liberal policy. It's ok to kill people if it's in the name of "the environment".
I love how he said that theres no such thing as overpopulation, then tunrs around and says ìf there is, then the rapture will take care of it!
You can make all the claims you want about what "liberals" believe, and what the tenets of "liberalism" are, Francois, but I'd imagine all that straw must get expensive...
Yea, that's great, but it's not a straw man when it's true. The fact that YOU still want to be a liberal and ignore the evils in your beliefs, just like "liberal Christians" do, doesn't make you a better person than the fanatic liberal who fights against freedom in the third-world.
"Francois, you must not be an American,"
I also forgot to mention that liberals support giving foreign aid to dictatorships instead of their suffering populace. That's a great one. Anyone who thinks liberals support the third-world just has no idea what he's talking about.
I'm impressed, Francois. I said that I'm a liberal, and you go off about things that politicians of a party I don't actually support, support.
I didn't realize that I was scaring the third world. I hadn't mentioned a single thing about Monsanto.
The fact is, any liberal on this site who is laughing at the Christians, is a hypocrite, because his belief system is no better than the Christian's...
François: selon Webster:
"God made a mistake by creating so many people and as we all know God never makes mistakes"
Maybe Satan overpopulated the Earth with all his vaginaseckz.
In this case, God is doing his best with natural disasters to tell us what's going on, but we're not listening.
You stupid freaking Christians...
I am not a liberal, not I think that these companies can not help the poor since the crops are more needy, expensive and will cause lock-in effects since you can not use parts of the harvest again for sowing in the next year.
Jakki, I don't feel like paying any attention to a bronze-age hallucination. We rationalists find it wise to take measures to prevent your beloved apocalypse.
I know, I know, we're persecuting you.
@ 637235:
"... there can be no overpopulation,underpopulation is a bigger problem."
Go to Calcutta and say that, you imbecile.
Francois, they stopped using DDT because it stopped working. Scientists, of wich I believe the most prominent was Rachel Carson, warned that using DDT with the reckless abandon they did at the time, and for things completely unrelated to public health, would lead to something called "insecticide resistance", which would make DDT ineffective at preventing malaria. Oddly enough, they were right.
ah I was waiting for this one to come up, saw one fundie tv preacher once say that there is no such thing as overpopulation because "I can still move, until the entire planet looks like a new york subway car during rush hour and we're all standing elbow to elbow then there will be no such thing as overpopulation"
Anyway even IF the world is "overpopulated"the events of Revelation will certainly solve that problem!
Yes, because an enraged God slaying three quarters of the human race would be absolutely awesome. So fuck like bunnies and drive Hummers, bitches, because nothing matters anyway.
Does it actually occur to these people to even bother to look around every once in a while?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
