Re: Chinese Breeding Like Rabbits

We should give the Chinese a great hand of applause for helping=20

the world, will become the leaders in scientific advancement! It is=20
our Church Goal to secure our rights to develop and use all=20

humankind, despite what dogmatic moral/ethical, or sentimental=20
nonsense the religious right wing dares to bring up. They absolutely=20

impossible for them to ever have the political, economic, or military=20
power to ever impose such dogma upon us, which is oppressing us and=20
