Thoughts on birth control and religion
I found this on reddit today: http://shatterthefog.blogspot.com/2007/07/elephant-in-room.html
Its an interesting read on third world countries and their high birth rate. I sometimes forget people in poorer countries have no access to birth control at all. So the question is why not?
I don’t agree with everything he says in his post, but I do agree to some extent that religion has played a role in preventing people in these countries to have access to sex education and birth control. These are the kind of things that bugs me about religion; we really don’t have room for these archaic ideals that are diametrically opposed to a better modern standard of living.
