A thought on the "sanctity" of life.

Equality is important.  The haves and the have nots are real and the divide between them is real.  One's morality can change depending on how much they have monetarily.  Real crises happen worldwide without people knowing about it all the time.  One problem that is becoming a bigger and bigger issue is the population.  We allow ourselves to be enraged when we learn of companies that abuse animals to mass produce their product to sell, such as chicken, or grain or beef, where the demand is through the roof.  We are part of the problem.  When I say we, I mean everyone, but I think there is something else there.  We are still being encouraged to have big families biologically.  I asked my wife not too long ago how she felt about adopting a child and she frankly told me she didn't think she would love that child as much as loving her own.  I understood that feeling.   We have a skewed view of the "sanctity" of life I think.  We espouse a holier than thou attitude and secretly feel that we are superior because we happened to be born in 'Murica.  Well I am starting to hate myself for that fact.  Being a white male in the U.S.of A. is starting to be embarrassing.  I don't think volunteering downtown even once a day and serving by giving your time to the church is going to even make God flinch.  Our fellow human beings are starving to death around the world and dying because of a lack of simple, cheap immunizations and we quietly turn our heads so as not to see it and preach the sanctity of life to those at home who want to abort a life before it starts because they don't have their own life figured out, or they just don't want to deal with a baby right now, or whatever.  Why do we have that issue to address? Because sexuality among teenagers and young adults isn't healthy either.  At least, we often don't teach a healthy sexual lifestyle.  Don't get me wrong, I don't condone prudish behavior, I just think we can do better as a society and encourage more communication.  And yes, I think if we would put it to a vote, we should at least talk about adoption and smaller families.  Again, this is a very personal matter and I cannot and would not tell someone that they should have less babies.  Please don't think that.  I also don't look at current families and think they could do without a few kids.  I am not that person.  But I don't think we teach and encourage adoption like we should.  I think it should be a higher priority.  I think I would enjoy a communist state where all things are equal and agriculture was healthy and all were "rich" in "blessings" that were being poured upon all for treating our neighbors as ourselves and not wanting more and being full of love.  I don't think those windows are open, even for those who give a tithe to their church.  I think corporate churches have long forgotten what tithing is supposed to do.
