Thief here...
When I was so much younger, the teacher came into the room and made the announcement....3billion people live on this Earth. Forty years later...6billion live on this planet. If I live to be as old as my grandfather did...100 years....I will live long enough to share this life with 12billion people. During this same stretch of time...6billion people will die. The average life span is 80 years..give or take a few for territory. Religion is supposed to help us into the next life. What do you expect to see? I strongly anticipate...6billion people screaming...as the next life will prove to be something... their religion did not prepare them for. |

Twelve billion is a huge number (twelve followed by nine zeros!). And with that many people living on this earth there will be famine, epidemic(s), people would die left and right. I don't know if I could take it. Just look at the earth now, there's plenty of pollution and diseases. Try multiplying it by two!

I'm not sure I follow your line of thought. --- Are you saying that all religions in general are too concerned thinking about a mystical afterlife, rather than focusing on getting by together on this one rock in space? --- Or that your own religion (you didn't elucidate) is the only correct one, and that the (soon to die) 6 billion that don't believe as you do will suffer eternal torment (screaming) in the afterlife? --- Or are you just getting people's opinions about overpopulation and birth control issues? ![]()

Why worry about it? No one has ever been able to change anything by worrying. Heck, even Jesus told people not to worry- that you cannot change a black hair to white.

If there were an afterlife of some sort, imagine how crowded it would be... with everyone who had ever lived there... At least on this world some people die to make room for new people. What if no one died and there were just more and more people born... The afterlife is going to be like a party everyone is invited to. A really cool party, but so many people that it won't even be fun...

Either that or we go to more sustainable food - a fish and vegetarian diet, no herbivores such as cows or sheep. All entail large lifestyle changes.

Maybe people should stop having babies for a little while... Maybe we should follow through with abstinence.
