Proverbs 17:22 A merry heart doeth good like a medicine… 
Stupid plays no favorites as is seen from Don Boys’ Common Sense for Today blog. ‘In a valiant effort to be fair and balanced, I found dumb statements made by Republicans that rival the Democrats’ dumb statements. After reading them, you will be shocked at how our resilient our Republic is.
Mark Twain rang the bell when he said, “Reader, suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.” Twain had it right.
Speaking of white people who were concerned about integrating public schools, President Eisenhower said, “These are not bad people. All they are concerned about is to see that their sweet little girls are not required to sit in school alongside some big overgrown Negroes.” Look for leftists to take down his statues and maybe even try to undo WWII!
President Gerald Ford shocked the world in a national television debate when he told us, “no Soviet domination [is] in Eastern Europe.” Of course, the world and especially the dominated Poles, knew that Poland was under Soviet domination. That may have cost Ford the election and inflicted us with Jimmy Carter.
President George W. Bush said, ”Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB-GYNs aren’t able to practice their love with women all across this country.” Love is not part of a medical practice.
Bush said, “You bet I cut the taxes at the top. That encourages entrepreneurship. What we Republicans should stand for is growth in the economy. We ought to make the pie higher.” I’m not sure if a higher pie is a bigger pie or a better pie or maybe both.
Bush commented on public education saying, ”As yesterday’s positive report card shows, childrens do learn when standards are high and results are measured.” Well, childrens are important and must be taught how to speak and write good grammar.
The President stated, ”Rarely is the questioned asked: Is our children learning?” They isn’t.
Bush said, “I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully.” Sure can.
He told a Chamber of Commerce group, “I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family.” Bush never wanted for anything since he is a Bush.
”You cannot be president of the United States if you don’t have faith. Remember Lincoln, going to his knees in times of trial and the Civil War and all that stuff. You can’t be. And we are blessed. So don’t feel sorry for—don’t cry for me, Argentina. Message: I care.” George, will you repeat that?
”There’s an old saying in Tennessee—I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, fool me once, shame on—shame on you. Fool me—you can’t get fooled again.” Who’s on first?
Another Bushie: “The fact that they purchased the machine meant somebody had to make the machine. And when somebody makes a machine, it means there’s jobs at the machine-making place.” True, when machines are made, it means there are jobs–at the machine-making place.
Speaking of enemy fighters in Afghanistan, Bush said, “And they have no disregard for human life.” No, Muslim extremists do have disregard for life.
During a Rose Garden news conference he said, “I remember meeting a mother of a child who was abducted by the North Koreans right here in the Oval Office.” Oh my! North Koreans at the White House!
Bush had trouble with numbers when he said, “Throughout our history, the words of the Declaration have inspired immigrants from around the world to set sail to our shores. These immigrants have helped transform 13 small colonies into a great and growing nation of more than 300 people.”
When discussing the economy and frozen credit markets Bush said, “This thaw took a while to thaw, it’s going to take a while to unthaw.” Sure it will. Everyone knows unthawing takes time.
Bush opinioned, “Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.” No sir, we’ll never stop.
As to his opinions, Bush admitted, “I have opinions of my own, strong opinions, but I don’t always agree with them.” I don’t either, George.
His dad H. W. Bush was not thinking when he said, ”For seven and a half years I’ve worked alongside President Reagan. We’ve had triumphs. Made some mistakes. We’ve had some sex…uh…setbacks.”
Bush declared, “Please don’t ask me to do that which I’ve just said I’m not going to do, because you’re burning up time. The meter is running through the sand on you, and I am now filibustering.” Say what?
He rightly declared, “I am not one who—who flamboyantly believes in throwing a lot of words around.” No, he was never accused of that.
Bush was really confused when he said, “I thought this guy was kind of dead.” Maybe like being kind of pregnant.
Bush prophesied, “I’ll be long gone before some smart person ever figures out what happened inside this Oval Office.” No, I don’t think it took long.
Senator Ted Stevens said, ”The internet is not something you just dump something on. It’s not a truck. It’s a series of tubes. And if you don’t understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it’s going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.” Yes, that’s the internet.
Vice President Dan Quayle forgot that he was not an astronaut when he said, ”Welcome to President Bush, Mrs. Bush, and my fellow astronauts.”
Dan said, “One word sums up probably the responsibility of any vice president, and that one word is ‘to be prepared.”’ Hold up your fingers and count, one, two, and three, then leave one standing. That’s one.
The Vice President said, ”What a waste it is to lose one’s mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is.” Yes, a lost mind is a wasteful thing.
He declared, “If we don’t succeed, we run the risk of failure.” Yes, I agree with that.
Quayle said, “Republicans understand the importance of bondage between a mother and child.” Sure they do.
Dan opined, “The Holocaust was an obscene period in our nation’s history. I mean in this century’s history. But we all lived in this century. I didn’t live in this century.” Dan, you do live in this century. You and I lived in the same county in Indiana at the same time. Take my word for it.
Dan said, “I have made good judgments in the past. I have made good judgments in the future.”
Quayle predicted, “The future will be better tomorrow.” Probably.
The Vice President said, “We’re going to have the best-educated American people in the world.”
Dan declared, “We have a firm commitment to NATO, we are a part of NATO. We have a firm commitment to Europe. We are a part of Europe.” I know Dan wasn’t smoking those funny cigarettes, maybe on meds?
He asserted, “I am not part of the problem. I am a Republican.” Dan, Republicans are part of the problem. A big part. So are Dems.
“I love California, I practically grew up in Phoenix.” Well, 148 miles almost qualifies as “practically.”
Dan keeps it going by saying, “It’s wonderful to be here in the great state of Chicago.” Same as the State of Confusion.
Dan really came up with a good one: “A low voter turnout is an indication of fewer people going to the polls.” Yes, one could say that.
Mr. Quayle said, “It isn’t pollution that’s harming the environment. It’s the impurities in our air and water that are doing it.” I never thought of that.
Dan said, “[It’s] time for the human race to enter the solar system.” I think so.
Finally, Dan said, “I stand by all the misstatements that I’ve made.” That’s a lot to stand by Dan.
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld sputtered, ”We know there are known knowns: there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns: that is to say we know there are things we know we don’t know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don’t know we don’t know.” Donald, would you say that again?
Rumsfeld also sputtered again, “We do know of certain knowledge that he [Osama Bin Laden] is either in Afghanistan, or in some other country, or dead.” Well, he can’t be wrong about that!
The Defense Secretary showed more mental confusion when he said, “I would not say that the future is necessarily less predictable than the past. I think the past was not predictable when it started.”
Senator John McCain had some problems with geography when he declared, “We have a lot of work to do. It’s a very hard struggle, particularly given the situation on the Iraq-Pakistan border.” The problem: the countries do not have a common border.
Governor Rick Perry also failed geography in the fifth grade as indicated when he said, “Juarez is reported to be the most dangerous city in America.” Make that Mexico, Rick.
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said, ”I think that gay marriage should be between a man and a woman.” Say what? Arnold went back to his day job.
This gem from Texas by a congressional candidate: “That lowdown scoundrel deserves to be kicked to death by a jackass, and I’m just the one to do it.” I think so.
The above leaders are not stupid people but they sure made senseless statements. Still others don’t realize how stupid they really are because they’re so stupid.’ http://donboys.cstnews.com/more-stupid-statements-by-senseless-statesmen
Recently I read an article where the person said he did not “….want to be called a Christian. Calling myself a Christian associates me with people with whom I don’t want to be associated. It forces on me a filter I can’t control. As soon as I say I’m a Christian, people put me in a category based on their understanding of what a Christian is—and that understanding is often colored by their personal experiences, good or bad. And many (maybe most?) people believe there is more bad than good. I don’t want to chance that.” This person went on to say “I think too many people have made Christianity their religion and the Bible their idol. Rather than following the steps and words of Jesus…”
I agree with many who tout the name ‘Christian’ do not sometimes live as one believes the Bible says a Christian should live. However to say ‘the Bible is an idol to many’ the Psalmist said in Psalm 138:2 ‘…for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.’ God has never retracted that statement.
If it wasn’t for the Bible I would not know the Lord Jesus as personal Saviour, regeneration, sanctification, justification, adoption and many more wonderful and precious doctrines. God put His Words down for people to read and come to know Him!
As for the name “Christian”, the Bible tells those of us who claim the name how to live a Christian life, how to treat others, how to die, where we will go when we die and many other things. If some people who say they are a Christian live opposite doesn’t mean I have to drop the name. For example, I am an American and have often been embarrassed by other Americans BUT I still call myself an American. God put Acts 11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch there for a purpose so don’t throw the verse or the name out but live up to the name no matter what others have done, are doing and will do which you or I may not agree with!
In the early 70’s I was asked to conduct the funeral for a University of Iowa medical student who had committed suicide. The church was packed with students from the University to pay their respect and naturally emotions of grief ran high. I was a young preacher still in my twenties and married with two children. I don’t remember what text I preached but I still remember the scene as though it was yesterday.
This historical episode in my life comes flooding back each time I read or hear of a suicide. Statistics show ‘The number of suicides in the United States increased 24 percent from 1999 to 2014, gaining momentum after 2006 when the increase each year jumped between 1 and 2 percent, according to the Centers for Disease Control. The biggest jump was among adolescent girls and men aged 45 to 64.’[1] According to the same article ‘…a clinical psychologist who consults for the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), said he believes the rate of pastor suicides has increased during his 30 years of practice. And he expects the number will continue to rise.’
The prince of preachers suffered greatly with gout and depression was something he definitely was acquainted with throughout his life and ministry. He wrote that “One Sabbath morning, I preached from the text, ‘My God, My God, why has Thou forsaken Me?’ and though I did not say so, yet I preached my own experience. I heard my own chains clank while I tried to preach to my fellow-prisoners in the dark; but I could not tell why I was brought into such an awful horror of darkness, for which I condemned myself. On the following Monday evening, a man came to see me who bore all the marks of despair upon his countenance. His hair seemed to stand up right, and his eyes were ready to start from their sockets. He said to me, after a little parleying, ‘I never before, in my life, heard any man speak who seemed to know my heart. Mine is a terrible case; but on Sunday morning you painted me to the life, and preached as if you had been inside my soul.’ By God’s grace I saved that man from suicide, and led him into gospel light and liberty; but I know I could not have done it if I had not myself been confined in the dungeon in which he lay. I tell you the story, brethren, because you sometimes may not understand your own experience, and the perfect people may condemn you for having it; but what know they of God’s servants? You and I have to suffer much for the sake of the people of our charge … You may be in Egyptian darkness, and you may wonder why such a horror chills your marrow; but you may be altogether in the pursuit of your calling, and be led of the Spirit to a position of sympathy with desponding minds” (Spurgeon, An All Round Ministry, pp. 221-222).’
What does the Word of God have to say concerning the murder of oneself? As we take a look at the Bible we notice most are found in the Old Testament. These may be categorized as (1) those who did commit suicide by their own hand or with the help of another, (2) those who wanted God to take their life but did not and those who contemplated suicide by their own hands but did not, (3) and those who attempted to take their life but didn’t accomplish the task.
THOSE WHO DID COMMIT SUICIDE
Saul and his armourbearer – 1Samuel 31:3 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was sore wounded of the archers. 4 Then said Saul unto his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it. 5 And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him.
It is plain that Saul committed suicide due to his injuries from battle and Jewish pride but his disobedience in consulting with a witch among other things precluded his suicide. Mental illness, no, disobedience and sin were the force behind Saul’s suicide.
Samson – Judges 16:30 And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life.
John Wesley commenting on Samson’s death said ‘Let me die-That is, I am content to die, so I can but contribute to the vindication of God’s glory, and the deliverance of God’s people. This is no encouragement to those who wickedly murder themselves: for Samson did not desire, or procure his own death voluntarily, but by mere necessity; he was by his office obliged to seek the destruction of these enemies and blasphemers of God, and oppressors of his people; which in these circumstances he could not effect without his own death.’
Abimelech – Judges 9:53 And a certain woman cast a piece of a millstone upon Abimelech’s head, and all to brake his skull. 54 Then he called hastily unto the young man his armourbearer, and said unto him, Draw thy sword, and slay me, that men say not of me, A woman slew him. And his young man thrust him through, and he died. 55 And when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they departed every man unto his place.
Matthew Henry writes that ‘His foolish project to avoid this disgrace; nothing could be more ridiculous; his own servant must run him through, not to rid him the sooner out of his pain, but that men say not, A woman slew him. Could he think that this would conceal what the woman had done, and not rather proclaim it the more? Nay, it added to the infamy of his death, for hereby he became a self-murderer.’
Ahithophel – 2Samuel 17:23 And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, and gat him home to his house, to his city, and put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father.
His name means ‘son of a fool or folly’ and so he lived or rather died showing how correct his parents were in their choice of names. When you read the passage describing his actions prior to his suicide you see how well thought out it all was. He put his house in order before murdering himself! Mental illness, nay, pride was at the heart of the matter.
Zimri – 1Kings 16:18 And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the palace of the king’s house, and burnt the king’s house over him with fire, and died, 19 For his sins which he sinned in doing evil in the sight of the LORD, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, to make Israel to sin.
Zimri committed suicide because of fear, pride and spite. Fear of falling into the hands of the enemy. Pride because he could not face the truth of losing the battle which in turn meant he lost the palace. Spite is seen in that it is as if Zimri is saying ‘If I cannot enjoy the luxury of this palace neither can you’.
Judas – Matthew 27:5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.
Acts 1:18 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.
Judas is probably one of the best-known people in the Bible who committed suicide. Judas was a disciple of the Lord’s and he was a traitor to that Lord. Yes, Judas acknowledged he had sinned but he acknowledged it not to God. The Lord said of this disciple that “it had been good for that man if he had not been born.”
Those who wanted God to take their life but He did not and those who contemplated suicide by their own hands but did not.
Elijah – 1Kings 19:4 But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.
What Ahab and the prophets of Baal could not do, a woman did. After the experience on Mt. Carmel Elijah was physically, spiritually and emotionally exhausted. He had fought a battle and won but at a cost. Ahab, instead of getting right with the God of Israel went home and told Jezebel what had occurred. As ungodly as Ahab was Jezebel was even more so and Elijah knew that what she promised to do she would make sure was done! Therefore, Elijah ran and requested the Lord take him home. What he could or would not do with his own hands he requested God to do. However, God stepped in and Elijah went on living with God leading him in the choice of his replacement. Spurgeon’s Devotional Commentary states ‘His intense excitement had been followed by languor, his exhilaration by depression: man is but dust. He prayed to die, and yet the Lord did not intend that he should ever die. Truly, we often know not what we ask.’
Jonah – Jonah 1:11 Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous. 12 And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you. 14 Wherefore they cried unto the LORD, and said, We beseech thee, O LORD, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man’s life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, O LORD, hast done as it pleased thee. 15 So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging.
Note, Jonah, knowing all this came upon the ship because of his disobedience to God and in spite of that he doesn’t throw himself into the sea, suicide, but tells the mariners to cast him into the sea. Jonah will not take his own life but he will allow others to be complicit in his death. Jonah is saying, I am guilty and, in my disobedience, I will bring guilt upon others as well. It is never good to hang around with disobedient Christians!
Job – Job 7:13 When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint; 14 Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions: 15 So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than my life. 16 I loathe it; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days are vanity.
Most know the story of Job and how he suffered because of Satan. Sleep was not an escape for he had terrible dreams while in his bed. Physical and mental anguish brought him into deep depression where he wished for death rather than life. Nevertheless, in his despair and depression Job never went so far as to seek to end his life by his own hands or by those of his ‘friends’.
Those who attempted to take their life but didn’t accomplish the task.
Jailer – Acts 16:27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.
Suicide would have cast this jailer from this life into eternity without Christ. Without Christ means an eternity ‘Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched’. Death whether it comes by our own hands or via what is called a natural death the reality is that of which Job said ‘As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more. He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more’ Job 7:9,10.
Albert Barnes in his New Testament Commentary says ‘It should be added, that it was common, and approved among the Greeks and Romans, for a man to commit suicide when he was encompassed with dangers from which he could not escape. Thus Cato was guilty of self-murder in Utica; and thus, at this very place at Philippi–Brutus and Cassius, and many of their friends, fell on their own swords, and ended their lives by suicide. The custom was thus sanctioned by the authority and example of the great; and we are not to wonder that the jailer, in a moment of alarm, should also attempt to destroy his own life. It is not one of the least benefits of Christianity, that it has proclaimed the evil of self-murder, and that it has done so much to drive it from the world.’
John Wesley notes ‘Although the Christian faith opens the prospect into another life, yet it absolutely forbids and effectually prevents a man’s discharging himself from this.’
So, what is the conclusion to the matter of suicide from Scripture? Paul in his chapter on the resurrection in 1Corinthians 15:26 says The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. So, death is an enemy and not a friend. Death by suicide may release one from whatever they are seeking to avoid in this life but eternity and the God of eternity reside on the other side. Isaiah 57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
To the unsaved, unregenerate Spurgeon wrote ‘If you knew the misery of the saint when his Lord deserts him but for a small moment, it would be enough to amaze you. Then what must it be to endure it throughout eternity? Sinner, thou art hasting to hell, mind what thou art at! Do not damn thyself, there are cheaper ways of playing fool than that. Go and array thyself in motley, and become the aping fool, at whom men laugh, but do not make laughter for fiends for ever. Carry coals’ on thy head, or dash thine head against the wall, to prove that thou art mad, but do not “kick against the pricks;” do not commit suicide upon thine own soul for the mere sake of indulging thy thoughtlessness. Be wise, lest being often reproved, having hardened thy neck, thou shouldest be suddenly destroyed, and that without remedy.’
The question is often asked ‘Can a Christian commit suicide?’ Perhaps we should ask ‘Will a true Christian commit suicide?’ I am not sure I can answer that question but let us consider a couple of things from Scripture.
When a sinner has repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ they are born again and receive everlasting life. John 3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
There needs to be a spiritual self-examination of ourselves. 2Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
A born-again believer has God the Holy Spirit in them. John 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Would suicide grieve God the Holy Spirit?
A born-again child of God is God’s possession. 1Corinthians 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
A born-again child of God is to be dedicated totally to God. Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Self-destruction is NOT in the perfect will of God!
A child of God should be very careful in their thinking and in doing so as to be an example to others. Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
There are more Scriptures one could look at but in the end, suicide, whether by a professing or non-professing Christian, is in the hands of the individual but the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity is on the other side either as Saviour or judge.

‘Why is there an explosion of a number of children struggling with gender identity issues? What is the right approach to compassionately resolve their suffering?
Walt Heyer, a former transgender person, who has counselled countless others’ experiencing what he calls transgender regret draws on his enormous experience to help us understand the impact of the gender agenda on our kids.
Voice for Values, ACL’s Director of Research Dr. Elisabeth Taylor continues to speak with Walt about his insights on transgenderism and its influences.’
Genesis 1:27 “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them..“
‘Do men and women differ from each other because God gave them different natures or because their environment caused them to be men or women? In short, is it our nature (our genes) or our nurture (our environment) that determines whether we become men or women?
Perhaps a pair of Canadian twin boys can answer the question. When they were a few months old, their parents decided to have them circumcised. After the doctor made a tragic error with one of the boys, the distraught parents did not know what to do. Not long after that, they saw a program on television about the effects of nature and nurture. During the course of the program, a doctor claimed that a surgically altered boy who was raised as a girl would grow into a woman. The parents contacted him. He assured the parents that he could help them raise their son as a healthy, happy girl. However, as the years went by, their new “daughter” grew to behave more like a boy than a girl. Finally, as a young adult he reclaimed his identity as a male. Today he is married and the step father of three children. His experience has led him to call the idea that it is the way children are raised that determines whether they become men or women, “Plainly ignorant.” The doctor who encouraged his parents to raise him as a girl has since been removed from his gender studies clinic.
We are made male or female by God, Who gives each of us the unique characteristics we need for our unique roles as parents. No amount of denial of this truth can change the truth of what God creates.’ https://www.creationmoments.com/sermons/boys-training-to-be-girls-3/?mc_cid=e25aaa45e2&mc_eid=00c1dcff3c
Ref: The Toronto Star, 2/6/00, p. D13, “From boy to girl to boy.”
Perhaps a better title would be ‘Bill Nye, the Nut Guy’! With guys like Nye given so much public exposure, it is no wonder society is whacko.
‘Bill Nye “the Science Guy,” once the beloved figure of the popular PBS children’s show, fundraised and gave a talk for Planned Parenthood of South Texas Tuesday in which he renewed calls for population control in response to climate change.
Nye, whose actual, scientific credentials consist of a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, focused on climate change in his talk and reportedly discussed“evidence that explosive population growth is a major factor driving it.”
He also praised the nation’s largest abortion provider for efforts to raise the quality of life for women and emphasized that this was one way to address climate change, saying this would lead to “fewer kids.”
“What’s the one thing to do about climate change, if you want to think about the big picture? Raise the standard of living of girls and women,” he said, explaining, “when you raise the standard of living of girls and women, they have fewer kids, and the kids they have are better cared for.”’ https://townhall.com/tipsheet/laurettabrown/2018/05/09/bill-nye-the-abortion-guy-headlines-planned-parenthood-lunch-talks-population-control-n2479104
