Try the Church of Virus, and bone up on memetics. They study the
forms of such systems, apart from any content. Joe

Hi!
Thanks for your reply. David - I feel that true liberation has to come from
within us! I know people what to join all kinds of movements - but if you
really want to be free - decide what you believe in yourself and motivate
yourself to help others believe in themselves - the power of self-respect. I
just read something about this and it is really getting me thinking about how
most power is corrupt (to that I say ALL the power, glory and honor is yours
Lord-forgive us our arrogance to the contrary) and the only power worth
putting forth is the power of self-respect and faith - I am working on a
Butterfly Gardens for Christian Churchs Initiative - to help teach stewardship
to God's creation as opposed to domination. There are many great Christian
initiatives to help the Earth and if you are interested I can forward them.
Peace!
Angela

Subject: Re: Family size and religion
Hi!
Please note that I have just read something very enlightening and I want to
share it with you:
The cause for under nourishment is the the unequal distribution of resources
NOT overpopulation!
Margueritte - please define your favorite word "dogma" I think you are a
confused child trying to justify her paganism by claiming that every spiritual
belief is based on dogma - do you meditate?
My church gives out information on natural childbirth prevention - does this
imply that they can be pro-population control? Is there any birth control
that doesn't pollute the Earth that we are trying to save - as far as I know
birth control pills are stored in plastic containers, rubbers are not
recyclable - somebody enlighten me?
Re: Abortion - when does life start?
Thanks and Peace!
Angela
