IRRATIONALITY

WE HAVE YET ANOTHER VERSION OF WHY RELIGION IS OFTEN THE PROBLEM AND NOT THE SOLUTION IN THE MODERN WORLD.  A SITUATION HAS DEVELOPED WHERE THERE ARE A GREAT MANY MORE MALE BABIES BORN IN THE WORLD THAN FEMALE BABIES — THE REASON BEING RELIGIOUS BELIEFS IN CERTAIN PARTS OF THE WORLD COMBINED WITH THE MODERN TECHNOLOGY THAT ALLOWS THE SEX OF FOETUSES TO BE KNOWN VERY EARLY IN PREGNANCY AND THE ABILITY TO SAFELY (TO THE MOTHER) ABORT THE UNDESIRED ONES.  THIS PROBLEM IS UNBALANCING THE POPULATION OF THE WHOLE PLANET, TO ITS DETRIMENT.  AND WHAT DO THE RELIGIOUS AUTHORITIES DO ABOUT IT?  ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.  THEY SEEM INCAPABLE OF QUESTIONING THEIR OWN LONGHELD BELIEFS IN ORDER TO EXPUNGE THE RIDICULOUS.


PEOPLE ALL CLAIM THEY WISH THE WORLD TO IMPROVE, THAT THE WORLD NEEDS IMPROVING.  BUT HOW CAN ONE IMPROVE ANYTHING IF CHANGING ANYTHING WE DO (EVEN TRIVIALLY) IS SEEN AUTOMATICALLY AS A THREAT?
