If You Love This Planet Absolute Birth Control Is Needed
….It is time
to stop.
Already
the world is
four times more populated than it should be.
If the world population can be reduced to one-fourth
there will be no poverty, no violence;
thousands of problems will disappear.
But Mother Teresa is given a Nobel prize because
she helps orphans,
opens orphanages around the world.
She is creating problems; these orphans will create children.
And she is against abortion, because if abortion is legal
from where is she going to get the orphans?
And what about the Nobel prize?
This senile woman is driving people crazy.
Absolute birth control is needed
at least for two decades.
Absolute, I say!
Not
that you have to stop after two children or three children --
no, that will not help.
Half the world is dying of starvation,
and you will be surprised to know that the poor countries,
the starving countries, produce more children,
for the simple reason that they don't have any other means of
passing their time.
To go to the movies, money is needed;
to go to a disco, money is needed.
Sex is the only free entertainment.
Absolute birth control is needed.
This is the only city where no child has been born in four years.
Unless we cut the world population
there is no way to avoid violence.
People are hungry,
people are starving, dying.
When somebody is hungry he is going to steal.
When somebody is dying,
what does he care if he kills somebody else and gets money
to survive?
Because lust for life
is the basis of all biological growth.
A man can do anything to survive.
And secondly,
if abortion becomes illegal...
the pope would like
to make all
birth control methods illegal.
If abortion is illegal, if birth control methods are illegal,
can you think what will happen to this world?
Everybody will be
at everybody else's neck
just to survive.
And it has to be remembered that birth control and abortion
have given women equality, the same status as men;
otherwise the woman can never be equal to man.
In poor countries she is continually giving birth,
a child every year.
She is always pregnant.
She cannot work, she cannot be financially independent.
She cannot get as educated as man,
she cannot be in politics;
she has to take care of the children.
Birth control methods, abortion
these have made possibilities for women to be equal to men;
otherwise
all talk about equality is bogus,
false, pseudo.
But strange... Mother Teresa is a woman,
and she has there
two or three dozen nuns
who are all women.
She has an order of nuns,
and they don't even see
that not a single woman has been accepted as pope in these two thousand years.
Not a single woman
has been accepted as a Christ,
a Buddha,
a prophet -- no.
You will be surprised... it has never happened before
all religions are against me.
They have never been against
anybody all together; on this point they are in agreement.
And, even more surprising,
atheists are against me.
They too agree with the theists on this point.
Communists are against me.
They don't believe in God,
they don't believe in the soul,
they don't believe in meditation,
but they are also in agreement with people who believe in God,
who believe in the soul, who believe in
all kinds of things.
On only one point, one single point,
are they all agreed.
This has never happened;
it is happening now for the simple reason
that I am
clearly giving you
the indication.
My fingers are pointing towards the truth.
Belief is not needed,
scriptures are not needed,
prophets are not needed, God is not needed.
A tremendous courage to doubt everything is needed.
