I last wrote of the diabolical collusion between Presbyterians (PCUSA) and the United States government to inhibit the burgeoning population by measures such as institutional birth control education and funding, and the imposition of family-size limits. It appears that the liberal Presbyterians initiated these measures by first bringing the dangers of overpopulation to the government's attention, but in truth, the Presbyterians were only holding the government accountable to its own morbid reasoning. The policies of the government have become increasingly anti-God and pro-death over the course of the country’s existence. Besides being a fallacious abstraction, overpopulation is a term for the dying; it supposes that the eradication of human beings is conducive to the sustenance of the material planet. Taxes, inflation, abortion, statist education and other such liberal convictions are practices of death; they are all life-prohibitive because they flow from the expectation that “in the end we all die” (summary quote from liberal economist John Keynes). They even flow from the founding of this country.
While not upholding life in any regard, militant pagans who advocate measures to suppress human reproduction are merely pursuing their own liberty and happiness. Their freedom tends toward private and public godlessness, and their happiness is secure when all forms of godliness are abolished. The Declaration of Independence is good as far as it goes, but it does not go far enough. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” - is not biblical in its four clauses. It is not axiomatic that men are created equal, nor has God endowed men with the unqualified right to pursue their self interest. A Scriptural form would be as follows: “We hold these truths to be derived from God’s covenant law-word, that all men are created in God’s image, and as such, they are endowed by their Creator God with certain responsibilities, that among these are absolute love of God and love of neighbor.”
An earth teaming with God’s people can be construed by Satan’s children as a constitutional infringement of personal life, liberty and happiness; and it is at this point that the provisions of government must be discarded in favor of God’s designs. The kingdom of God promotes life in abundance, and it triumphs over every false and suicidal plan for this world – over Satan and his minions. There cannot possibly be an overabundance of God’s image bearers, nor is it possible to use God’s word to promote noxious lifestyles.
