Come and Go

Seems more Canadians are now supportive of same-sex marriage. That's realistic since it inhibits reproduction in an already overpopulated world. Alas, most religions frown upon birth control of any kind. Indeed, the Roman and Anglican churches are (excuse the pun) proposing a merger to survive; while Libyan president, Colonel Gaddafi, reassures the Moslem world that they can achieve a World Islamic Republic by the power of their loins (that is my interpretation) without another Crusade!

Good old reliable Tom Malthus claimed we reproduce geometrically, while the potential for food production increases only mathematically, i.e. nature will take over and keep the balance with internicine wars, pestilence and several other nasties the Bible foresees. Interestingly, Malthus was an ordained member of the Christian clergy!

What chance does common sense have to prevail against religion and ignorance? I would bet against it.
