I don’t understand how choosing to have a number of kids you feel you can raise would be a sin. That’s exactly the solution I support; that we alter other conditions in the world that allow people to do just that, and to know they can do that.
A few weeks ago my husband suggested that we put a vegetable garden in the front of the house. I thought he was nuts, then I saw a television segment regarding that front yard was a new concept, especially in suburban developments after WWII. How many people really use their front lawns for even recreational purposes? We live on a small parcel of land, and the front gets the best light so we are digging up the overgrown hedges and growing our garden there next season.
Aaaarrrrggghhh. Better check with your city people first, though.
That’s great! And produce grown yourself can be much healthier than mass-produced stuff. One of the things you should look into is alternate ways of managing and protecting the things you grow, without using pesticides or preservatives. I incidentally find it tastes better, too.
If I ever built a house, I’d make sure I was outside any particular town’s jurisdiction. The idea of not being able to use my land for anything productive like that is absurd to me.
My apologies, I didn’t mean to imply that you supported any (pop control) organizations or that you even support abortion- I haven’t read all your posts but it seems you don’t.
Praise the Lord for Muslims! At least they reproduce!
The first of your statements is, no doubt true, but hardly heartening, but in any event is not sufficient to prevent decline without additional immigration. In any event, the collapse of the native populations still demonstrates the point. Perhaps your point is that negative population growth invites immigration and replacement of the existing population if, indeed, there are immigrants available. Possibly you feel that’s a good thing.
Once you get outside a town or city then you are under the county’s jurisdiction which can be even more restrictive than the city’s. In our county you must have at least 1/2 acre to build and you must be 50’ from the nearest road. You also get things like neighbors renting their extra space as storage for campers, boats, old cars, etc., not a pretty sight. So be sure to check things out before you abandon the city or town. In the county you are also on well and septic. If your well runs dry or the septic overflows you can be in for major expenses.
Personally, I will never praise the Lord for anything the Muslims do.
If only Christians were as fervent in prayer as they, there wouldn’t be any of them.
The 2 Muslims I know personally are the most secular people in the world. One goes to the mosque only on their holiest days and I would bet the other could not find a mosque if her life depended on it.
Really? Well, if two people not being very devout are enough to qualify an entire religious group, then Christianity is way past the breaking point.
Don’t put words in my mouth! I was simply stating that the Muslims I know don’t live in a Muslim dominated country and they are not religious. Where have you ever seen me ‘simply write off “Cafetaria Catholics” as basically not counting’? You can’t, so stop spreading falsehoods. By the way when I do drive through Muslim areas of Chicago I never see lots of people down on prayer rugs praying, when you do see one the other people are just walking around that person, so I know it is prayer time by the 3 or 4 people you do see praying.
A few posts ago you basically said Muslims never do anything worthy. Not terrorists, not Muslim extremists, Muslims. You began the line of thought by generalizing. I’ll feel bad about my assumptions when others start recognizing theirs.
Precisely. There is not enough land for everyone we have and everyone that will be born to survive comfortably. There are many ways we can fix this, and no one is suggesting abortion. At least not that I know. But also, no one seems to be stepping up to offer land and resources they own but don’t need to help curb the problem, as evidenced by the ridiculous wastes of land on things with no purpose but greed or vanity.
