What does an atheist...

[Tiberius]

Did you see David Attenborough on TV last week? According to him overpopulation is what we should be solely concerned with. Nature naturally balanced population to about 1bn worldwide until the intervention of science prevented deaths. Over the past century the worlds population has exploded to 7bn projected to reach 9bn by 2050. Religion, although contributory, has not had much impact.

See: http://www.optimumpopulation.org/ of which Attenborough is a patron

So an argument from authority straight out of the box. The main reasoning these people come to is "we haven't got enough food". The world is hardly overpopulated, we have more than enough room for everyone, but not enough food for everyone. So it's not "overpopulation" at all. However, science has come up with ways to increase crop supply, to genetically engineer foods, to make foods safer, etc etc. The lunatics and religions of the world have argued against all this with new age "organic" shite.

The Catholic position on condoms is that it promotes promiscuity to send a message that having promiscuous sex is fine. Convincing people not to be promiscuous would be more beneficial in the reduction of the spread of AIDS.

No, the Catholic church takes its position from the pope, who promotes the lie that condoms spread AIDS. Convincing people not to be promiscuous is a good thing, I don't deny it. However, the use of condoms is too! Just look at the number of "abstinence only" children end up pregnant and you'll realise that teaching this kind of thing as the "only way forward" is ridiculous. People don't want to be abstinent. It isn't natural.

I'm not suggesting that you need God to think positively. I just think it ironic that you hold this against God like this physical reality is far from ideal. If you're positive for this reality, then in my book that's the same assaying you're happy with it should it have been created by God. IOW stop the bellyaching.

When did I say I was positive for this reality? There are many things wrong with this reality. I am capable about thinking positive about my life...without God...
