The bigger the population gets, the more serious the problems become. . . We have to address the population issue. The United Nations, with the U.

But in this country, it's phony to say 'I'm for the environment but not for limiting immigration. '

Christianity cannot erase man's need for pleasure, nor can it eradicate the various sources of pleasure. What it can do, however, and what it has been extremely effective in accomplishing, is to inculcate guilt in connection with pleasure. The pursuit of pleasure, when accompanied by guilt, becomes a means of perpetuating chronic guilt, and this serves to reinforce one's dependence on God.
