"Be fruitful and multiply" is a motto that is held up by the vatican until today - the denial of contraceptives as well. The church's arguments defending that claim to be oh so high riding on the moral horse, in fact are cynical, inhumane, and man-hating, and put the claim of the church to lead and define morals abiut humanity, human kindness, and accept millions to fall into suffering and miserbale detah every month and every year. That is a church of death, and what it has made of Christ'S teachings are a message of fear, terror and death as well. shame on everybody who demands my respect for this, and that I should tolerate people liking this cult of thanatos, it is so very very much too much demanded from any sensible, reasonable, thinking mind.
Finally, many people in Africa for example do not "f#ck for fun", as Firewall has implied, but for power as defined in their patriarchalic tribe structures, and even more:
they try to raise as many children as possible, because they know so many will die, but they depend on having sufficient children who will take care of their parents once they are old and weak. It's a vicious circle, and here we come to the hypocrisy of the West claiming the misery of Africa to be based on it's own "laziness", and completely ignoring that the West helps so very much in violence and coups and corruption in Africa to see the Wests economic advantages being taken care of, as some days ago described in another thread, too. I still deny that colonialism is the only cause of the evil in Africa, but I say it had aspects of imporvement, and worstening existing conditons, and it lives on until today, in a changed form.
Tyrannies kill by their own hands. Democracies accept to secure their power by not less killing - it's just that they do not kill with their own hands so much, but let it happen, let it getting done by proxies they support, and do not stop it even if they could. Both tyrannies and democracies are wading in a sea of blood. The tyrannt at least is easy to be recognised. But western democracies lie and betray about their true nature and ambitions, like a wolf in sheep'S clothing. The US does so, and the EU as well. the agricultural policies they enforce both on Africa and South America, should be an object at an international tribunal.
Save me your pseudo-religious hypocrisy and dishonest calls for tolerance, therefor, where in reality you just want to dominate yourself and silence opposition to your ambitions. Maybe you can deceive some people out there with your virtuous playacting, but certainly not me. I have seen through you hypocrisy and lies. And I'll never fall for that kind of cynical poison again - no matter how much you smile.
You guys claim to talk in defense of religion? Ha! Spit out the blood in your mouths first, wash it off your hands, and then rinse your mouths with ox-gall soap. You yourself give religion it's bad name, you pharisees.
Now, the objects were two essays about the race for the Arctic ressources, and the possibilities of major military operations being launched in fight for these, and the assessement of Russian ambitions regarding this issue. Just a reminder for the few slow minds amongst us whose minds always get overruled by their reflexes to start balking when they read my name.
