  1) Feeding the stomachs of all the starving people in the world dosn't solve
   the problem- only perpetuates it. What the world needs now is not love! It
   needs education. Then people can solve their own problems. They had all
   those babys because they didn't know any better!

  2) When I said religion was the indirect cause of the masses, my thoughts
   were that religion, in most countries, (or in general?) hinders the advan-
   cement of the populace by providing a mental crutch ( the I don't have to
   change syndrome- God will take care of me) or by the outright contradiction
   of scientific fact. Faith by definition discourages rational thought which
   results in atrophied minds!
