   There's a clear example in the most catastrophic, stupidest, senseless command   
   which has ruled Christian behavior and which threatens the survival of the   
   species. I'm referring to god's command "multiply and conquer." Christians   
   don't know about the    
   limits placed by a given habitat on population density. In other words, that   
   command allows blind expansion and exploitation until we finally end up   
   killing each other or eating each other to survive.   
      
   Nature simply allows for population crash unless some sort of prevention   
   --population control-- is put in place. Nature is way smarter than god because   
   god is not smarter than the sheepherders that wrote the bible. What makes   
   sense to them is that a    
   larger herd is better than fewer sheep. Nowadays "sheep" stand for happy   
   consumers. I call them "happy cows," if you so prefer the allegory.    
      
   But the endless traffic jams remind us we are too many.
