I just picked on reincarnation as one example of a doctrine preached by one of the many religions in the world. You could have mentioned the lack of birth control by many of the more primitive peoples in the world if you wanted an example, rather than the pope. Just because the pope preaches against certain birth control methods doesn't mean that catholics follow his instructions.

So you are not in favour of birth control then Baz,

 

I am in favour of birth control for people who soley rely on benefits as an income, for foreigners for at least the first 5 years that they are living here and for crackpots..... which category would you slip into I wonder?

The reasoning behind birth control for third world countries, is fairly simple and logical - a given region can only produce a given amount of food resources, albeit that can be increased with improved agricultural technology; if the number of mouths exceeds the capacity of said region to produce sufficient food, the result is starvation. Therefore, the answer is to reduce the number of mouths, by not reproducing excess numbers of people. China has faced up to this problem, hence their one child policy. :unsure: :unsure:

Do you really believe that can be achieved? Who would enforce it?

I remember some years ago, we made a yellow powder at work that was made into tablets to combat the leper disease.

And guess what? Instead of taking the tablets, they used to sell them to make bead necklaces.

 

PLUS, it's human nature to reproduce when they think the race/tribe might be coming extinct.

Maybe, teaching the Westerner to moderate their eating habits, would allow enough food for the rest of the world.

Peter, just in case you hadn't noticed, world population figures have exploded, and will increase exponentialy if the issue isn't addressed. Nature's natural disasters and plagues; and even man's regular attempts at genocide, seem to have failed to cull population figures. :roll: :roll:
