A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CHURCH OF EUTHANASIA
The Church of Euthanasia was inspired by a dream, in which
Rev. Chris Korda confronted an
alien intelligence known as The Being
who speaks for the inhabitants of Earth in
other dimensions. The Being warned that our
planet's ecosystem is failing, and that
our leaders deny this. The
Being asked why our leaders lie to us, and why so many of us believe
these lies. Rev. Korda awoke from the dream moaning
the Church's infamous slogan,
Save the Planet - Kill Yourself.
Every aspect
of the deepening global environmental crisis, including climate change,
poisoning of the water and atmosphere,
reduction of
biodiversity,
and topsoil erosion, directly results from the over-abundance of a single
species:
homo sapiens. The human population is
increasing
by one million every four days, according
the Washington-based Population
Reference Bureau. This is a net increase of 95 million per year, the
current population of Mexico.
Even a major war or epidemic
hardly dents the rate of growth, and
modern wars have tremendous environmental consequences. It is for these
practical reasons, as well as moral ones, that Euthanasians support
only voluntary forms of population reduction, including
suicide, free
abortion, and
sodomy, which they
define as any sexual act not
intended for procreation. They are also fiercely
vegetarian, and
support cannibalism for those who
insist on eating flesh.
The planet is a living, breathing
organism, and is capable of defending
itself if necessary. The
Church hopes to avoid the suffering
this would entail by achieving a massive
leap of consciousness in which human
beings begin to think of
themselves, not as individuals belonging to races or nation-states, but
as a species. This species awareness
would be the first step towards
what Biodiversity author and population expert Paul Erlich calls "our
absolute responsibility to protect what are our only known living
companions in the universe."
