Lots more little Fundies coming...
Evangelical Leader: Young Protestant Couples Rejecting “Contraception Revolution”
By Gudrun Schultz

LOUISVILLE, Kentucky, November 3, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Young Christian couples are re-thinking contraceptive use and biblical teaching on human sexuality, in response to a growing awareness of the social damage caused by the sexual revolution, a foremost leader in the U.S evangelical community told Christianity Today last month.

Dr. R. Albert Mohler, Jr., is a theologian and ordained minister, serving as president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, the leading educational institution of the Southern Baptist Convention. He said Christian evangelicals are questioning the effects widespread reliance on birth control has had on society. “In the first place, this generation has now come to adulthood at a time when we can take some stock of the impact represented by the sexual revolution and by the easy access to effective contraception and birth control,” Dr. Mohler said.

“And the burden now seems to be, ‘What did all of this mean? What was the affect of the birth control revolution? What kind of changes in human institutions and relationships came as a result of the Pill? What about the missing generation among us of children who would otherwise be present were it not for the easy availability of effective birth control?’”

“The third thing is, I think, a deep embrace of a biblical notion of sexuality, post-the sexual revolution, has led many younger evangelicals to think seriously about this question, and all this adds up to giant question mark in the minds of many young Christians. Can we join the contraceptive revolution? And, if not, how do we think about these things in a way that will strengthen our marriages and be most pleasing to God.”

3. Apart from disease and unwanted pregnancies, and increased infidelity,
what damage has been done?

There's nothing wrong with contraception when you need to balance your financial life! It's not the sexuality, it's the frivolous mindset that renders contraception pointless; despite the availability of condoms, people are still makin' babies and the worst population problems are not in America!!

Even serial monogamy is better than nothing, but still... the Protsy couples aren't seeing the entire picture.

4. That'll go over real well after the economic collapse and all those mouths to feed.

They'll really be wishing they had nationalized healthcare and tuition aid and....


BTW, Mohler is nothing more than a hate-monger.

5. Geez, could we be more repressed and hyprocritical...
the sexual repression (even among non-fundies) in this country is laughable! I keep waiting for someone to monitor my self-pleasuring, but I'm sure they'll just stick to keeping women from exercising their rights to birth control instead.

7. Why do you think...
we call them Breeders?

Humping for Jesus. Screwing for God. Copulating for Christ. Breed lots and lots more Fundies they can homeskool and brainwash so their ideology succeeds another generation. Send the kids out on missions, put lots of pushpins on the church map. For crying out loud, even the closeted gay Fundies have a litter of four or five with their dutiful wife while screwing their same-sex partners in the prayer closet.

Breeding is what it's all about. More breeders = more tithers = more power = more corrupt church execs... instructing their followers to breed. They're worse than rats. Rats aren't judgmental and they aren't hypocrites.

8. Is he getting advice from the Pope? Good God.
What convoluted crap.

Seems like a thinly-veiled attempt to suggest that Southern Baptists should have more babies to grow the size of the congregation.

10. The war on contraception
Edited on Sun Nov-05-06 10:53 AM by depakid
A lot of stupid Republicans are going to find themselves behind the 8 ball after states start banning birth control- which they will once Roe v. Wade is overturned.
