Confessions of a Heretic
To the Church of Euthanasia:
Are you really serious? Kill ourselves and our children and each other in
order to reduce the population? So that WHO can remain to enjoy the Earth,
the only life given to us? Perhaps I am selfish, but I do not want to die
until I really HAVE to. I kind of enjoy being alive, you know? If I am
correct, then if I kill myself, then I will be dead, forever. I think your
approach to the overpopulation problem is sick and evil. Did you ever think
that maybe slowing down the rate at which we multiply might help? This is,
statistically speaking, happening in North America right now. Due to the
evils of Economy, most people can't afford to have more than one or two
children. Fifty years ago, their parents were having four children. Fifty
years before that, eight to ten children. These days most people don't even
wish to reproduce. Nothing wrong with that. Perhaps it would be a good
idea to force people to sterilize themselves after they have their second
child. 2 people have 2 children, later on, the net result is Zero Growth.
This might even work or something, and it is much less grim than what you
propose.
Where in the world is the highest population growth rate? Try the very areas
of the planet where people are starving to death and fighting over who rules
plot X in area Y, and I'd say you'd be right on the money. These people have
no food, live in the worst possible conditions imaginable, and here they are
irresponsibly reproducing like rabbits. What the hell can we do about THEM?
Not a damn thing.
Suppose I actually take you seriously and believe you really do believe in
suicide and the rest. Then, by extension, I would assume that all those
members of your Church believe in it also. Okay, here's the part I don't
get: you believe in suicide as the solution, yet you're all still alive.
The way I see it, if you were REALLY serious, you would pass on word of your
grand solution, then promptly kill yourself. But you're still here, so
you're hypocritical, just like all the people you say you're against. See
you in Hell. Oops, I forgot, there IS no afterlife. Seriously. Why would
someone such as myself who believes that this is the only life I get want to
do myself in? The illogic is astounding. Bye.
-Colin S. Reid's evil twin "Sodhead"
Dear Sodhead,
Yes, we are serious. Americans have been insulated from the tremendous
suffering their world-view has caused. In the very near future, Americans
will be getting a taste of their own medicine, and they'll be wishing they
had followed our advice. By the way, we never said anything about killing
children or each other. That's homicide, not suicide.
Did you ever think that maybe slowing down the rate at which we multiply
might help? This is, statistically speaking, happening in North America right
now.
The Church has only one commandment, and it is: THOU SHALT NOT PROCREATE.
This doesn't help us much in America, however, since "the average
American consumes roughly 100 times the resources of one tribeswoman in
Kenya, and about ten times as much as the average world citizen."
(Harvard zoologist E.O.Wilson)
Perhaps I am selfish, but I do not want to die until I really HAVE to.
Yes, you are selfish, but at least you know it. There is hope.
Perhaps it would be a good idea to force people to sterilize themselves
after they have their second child.
The Church of Euthanasia is opposed to all INVOLUNTARY methods of population
reduction, including forced sterilization.
Where in the world is the highest population growth rate? Try the very
areas of the planet where people are starving to death and fighting...
The reason the birth rates are so high in the so-called "third-world"
is because the industrial nations, particularly the United States, have
squeezed everything of value out of those countries for hundreds of years.
Birth rates are directly related to life expectancy. When animals feel
threatened, they breed more, in an effort to increase their chances of
survival. What we can do about "THEM" is either (a) reduce the
amount of resources we consume, or (b) reduce our population. The Church
supports BOTH of these options. I suggest you start feeling some PERSONAL
RESPONSIBILITY for the fact that "these people" have no food
and live in the worst conditions imaginable. You could start by becoming
a vegetarian, for example.
The way I see it, if you were REALLY serious, you would pass on word of your
grand solution, then promptly kill yourself.
Just because I haven't done it yet doesn't mean I'm not serious! Besides,
what makes you think your SELF is so important? Kill it! You'll be much
better off without it! The sooner human beings start behaving like a SPECIES,
the sooner we can get beyond all these drastic solutions. Maybe if enough
people change their world-views, I won't NEED to kill myself!
Oops, I forgot, there IS no afterlife. Seriously. Why would someone such as
myself who believes that this is the only life I get want to do myself in?
That is the root of the problem, right there. As long as you believe you
are alone in the universe and that death is final, you will be part of the
problem. Forget it! Let go of all that rationalist, existential crap! Fuck
Plato and Aristotle and Hume and Kant and Freud and Francis Bacon! Go read
the Hopi propehecies! The earth is a LIVING BEING! Get down on your knees!
Pray to the Earth Mother! Pray to your dung! Thou art that! Hallelujah!
