Yet another fine example of intellectual mush, antishock. Let's pick through the rubble of your "thinking" and see what we unearth.

People WERE being fed. That's where the child was headed. To a feeding center. The human being who took the picture left the child there to die, by the way. You take that picture to its logical end...
When a human being takes a photo of a starving child and leaves it there to die just 2 klicks from a feeding center instead of transporting it there to be treated, yes, of course that's the logical end. The humanitarian end, of course, would have been for the adult to transport the child for treatment. But it would seem that the photog was more interested in getting a damn fine photo that you mistakenly "thought" you could use as a vehicle to forward your "argument" for sterilizing adults and killing children who would have likely grown to become healthy adults if only folks were willing to give up a Big Mac or two during the week in order to supply the funding needed to FEED it. Gosh, I do hope the photog, after walking away from the child having got their "shot", went on a good coffee break and had a donut or something while patting him/herself on the back for their genius.
I know you want to excuse your god from any wrongdoing,
Who is my god, antishock? What is my religious affiliation? What church do I go to? No god let the child starve, human beings saw to that.
and blame someone like me for being so braindead and horrible, but I'm not the one that would have an animal eat a kid to death.
Of course you aren't the one that would have an animal eat a kid to death. The photographer who took the photo and abandoned the child to the animal is the one who made that choice for the child. Thanks for sharing that wonderful image with us. We owe a debt of gratitude to the photog who snapped it, don't we?
That's your god. Your god was smart enough to create both creatures knowing what their ultimate fate would be.
I repeat. Who is my god, antishock? No really, tell me. What are my religious convictions? Tell me what I believe.
How YOU live within that paradigm and still come out of it thinking your god is peachy is beyond me.
Please show me any post on this board or any other board, where I have stated that "my god" is peachy. The issues that you're "discussing" here, have not a damn thing to do with a god. They have to do with human greed and indifference.
So. Let's compare for a moment:
Antishock8: Sterilize poor woman so she doesn't have kid in the first place, or abort fetus so child doesn't ultimately starve death and get eaten by vulture...
Feeding the child doesn't occur to you, does it?
Jersery Girl's God: Woman makes it to feeding center leaving baby behind to be eaten by wild animal, goes on to birth 12 more humans, 9 of which die of malnutrition, 3 of which grow up to birth 30 more babies, 20 of which die of malnutrition, 10 of which grow up to birth 67 more babies, 54 of which die of malnutrition or are ultimately slaughtered/raped to death in ethnic struggle for scarce resources.
Nowhere have I attributed any of my posts on this thread to a "god". If you feel differently, I challenge you to repost any remark I've made that includes speaking for a god. If you want to make crap up, fine with me. My answer to the situation that you describe is for greedy human beings to feed and educate people.
And you have the audacity to judge me.
I haven't judged you, I've judged your position as exploitive.
Where I support the sterilization of one woman, or the abortion of a kid you support the continued cycle and ultimate miserable deaths of thousands spawned by one woman.
I have? News to me. It's clear to me that you have no blessed clue what I support even after reading my posts here. I sure as hell don't support an adult photographing a starving child then walking away to let it die.
YOU and YOUR religious mindset cause the needless ultimate suffering of millions through overpopulation or mismanagement of our own species.
What is my religious mindset? Show me anywhere on this thread or on this board or on any other board where I've used religion to oppose your brand of exploitation of children on this thread. Can you read?
Your irresponsible approach to the human question begets pain and misery. All I ask for is a little compassion so we can cause LESS suffering in the overall scheme of things.
And you would do that by sterlization, killing living children instead of feeding and educating them. Yes, your compassion is simply palpable.
I offer a solution that cuts back on the sum total of human misery. You offer a solution that offers an exponential increase in misery. Who's the vile creature now? That would be you.
You offer a solution that doesn't require you to push yourself and others out of their own comfort zone or connect with other human beings on a global scale. You'd rather exploit a child instead of bashing the adult who walked away from the child. You see nothing wrong with that level of inhumanity, avoid acknowleding it and you yourself use the child as a vehicle with which to forward a criticism against god believers on an internet message board. My hat's off to you!
by the way, if you want to get personal with me do so at your own risk. I generally don't initiate personal attacks, but fair warning... I will get personal and I'll probably take it to a place you don't want to go.
Take it any place you want, sweetie. If you want to give me a demonstration of your self deluded thinking by all means: get personal with a stranger.
Probably best to check yourself.
Posture till the cows come home. You're hysterical.
