Disturbing. Absolutely disturbing. From 1939-1989 they had been trafficking babies throughout Spain. They took the babies from their homes and shipped them to local hospitals where they where then adopted by a different family. This was done by the catholic church no less. This was done to prevent harm to general franco but even after his death it continued. The god that was supposed to stop people from doing this. Even his own church were hurting people. This leads to the question is there really a god?


For one god can do no wrong (apparently) so why had he permitted the trafficking of children or the poverty that people suffer in Africa. This just not seem ethical to let so many people live with such a disadvantage. Another reason is that we have only heard stories about people doing remarkable things in the past. And yet nothing remarkable has happened for a couple hundred years. Also the bible is updated and changed to fit modern churches beliefs better. With so many updates the truth would be diluted. For example if you have ever played the game telephone. That is when you say something into one person’s ear and as it gets farther down the line until the end there is only a inkling of the phrase you had told in the beginning and this is very probable with the bible. Also the bible was first written in latin and when it was translated it could have been translated to mean something totally different as words in another language tend to mean more than one thing. This all shows that there is no god. Maybe god had been a statue that we would worship or it was a human being and throughout the years the story got more and fabulous that the original thing was an all-powerful god. That is all I will say on religion. And I am also catholic I just did this for the sake of an argument


Now back to the injustices of the world. For example as I mentioned earlier poverty in Africa. We are trying to help but still people die more and more everyday. From things as little as chicken pox that cost but a few cents. Here in the 1st world countries we treat patients for thousands of dollars. If we donated but ⅛ of that money we could lessen the amount of deaths in Africa and other 3rd world countries. It is just not morally right to spend so much money on things that we don’t need and then throw them away the next year. Just donate a couple dollars a month and we could put an end to poverty!
