Quality of Life

The Church could not care less about the quality of life. For the sake of saving souls, what’s essential to the Church is the quantity of life. The more souls there are to be saved, the business is better for the Church. Thus, the evils of family planning and birth control practice – the only way the Church stays in business for wealth, power, and glory.
Yes, abortion is evil. Besides, it is no fun to kill a baby inside the mother’s womb. It’s called murder; and murder is a crime. What’s more fun, however, is to let the babies be conceived, let them be born, let them grow up a bit, give them a fighting chance, and then kill them. Kill them with malnutrition, filthy surroundings, parental neglect, diseases, or asphyxia from vehicular soot and lead. Indeed, many of the nation’s poor children play, trade, sell, eat and sleep, poo and pee, and God knows what else they do – in the streets of our major cities. What’s our purpose of being so overly concerned of babies not yet existing, and at the same time be stupid and apathetic to children not only already existing but also already dying? Isn’t this the height of religious hypocrisy? If we do not abandon our children in the streets, we abandon them in school. There, for the most part, they are taught not how to stand up to needs of the human race, but how to kneel down to divine grace. How to seek a life of piety by ignoring knowledge and wisdom that helps carry on a decent and a healthy society. Instead, they learn how to love divinity by hating humanity. Poch Suzara
