I'm also confused by the first sentence:<br /><br />"Mission typically penetrates areas where the negative effects resulting from man's inability to be good stewards of God's creation are starkly apparent."<br /><br />Aren't the "negative effects resulting from man's inability to be good stewards" usually more apparent in highly developed, industrialized nations where due to their advanced technological capabilities they have more power to wreak havoc on the environment? <br /><br />It seems to me that a lot of the suffering that occurs in third world countries has a lot more to do with evil regimes than it does with poor stewardship of the environment.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04817680463922038375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973269483459581996.post-59380039401341951572011-01-24T14:12:51.678-06:002011-01-24T14:12:51.678-06:00I'm a bit confused as to how "the alarmin...I'm a bit confused as to how "the alarming increase of the world's population" is indicative of "the progress of civilization," given that the latter nearly universally caps the former. As they do not see the economic progression of civilizations to be worth the "destruction of pristine rain forests ... &c" (whatever that might mean this year) then, I suppose they're going to have to deal with a "surplus" of people. And people who might actually benefit from mission! Unless "mission" is more concerned with the preservation of insects and the taxation of plastic bags these days. It's so easy to get confused.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14546489539063088564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973269483459581996.post-15111172268190665942011-01-24T13:54:14.421-06:002011-01-24T13:54:14.421-06:00As a Rebekah ditto-head, I must defer to her.

I marvel at the swiftness to give up the First Article for "environmentalism," and also at the failure of overpopulationists to perceive themselves as eugenicists. The solution to rich, smart, white people have to overpopulation is always to get poor, stupid, brown people to stop reproducing, for it is among them that the alleged overpopulation is happening in any significant way.Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129136210164478753noreply@blogger.com
