This letter was printed in the letters to the editor in my local fishwrap yesterday - clearly by a CFer, methinks:
"I hope if people indulge in the traditional lights-out pastime at Earth Hour they use contraception. Overpopulation is a major cause for environmental degradation. Rather than flicking out the lights, people could do something really effective by being sterilised after their two children per couple and by condemning and shaming excessive breeders."
What a hoot! And here I thought I was the only person in my entire city with such thoughts! That put a big smile on my face yesterday morning as I enjoyed my breakfast (and I'm sure caused much mooing and braying from breeders. If any of them respond tomorrow I shall post it).

Srsly. I try to LIVE "Earth Day" or "Earth Hour", so why would I have to go through special trouble just to do it when the rest of the world decided to pull its collective head out of its collective ass (and then can't wait to shove it back in for the rest of the year).

Evidently the Christians have some kind of hyper breeding movement going on. Talk about scary.
Yes, specifically the Quiverfullers. I stumbled onto a former QF woman's blog and I have a much better understanding of what it all means. Apparently it's way more than simply 'accepting God's blessings.' It's about building an army so that they can outvote the 'enemy'. Back to back pregnancies and even facing uterine ruptures and death are all considered 'casualties' or "dying in the line of duty."
What I don't get is that if they are ready for the rapture, and believe it's about to happen, why they think 'outbreeding the enemy' is going to have any actual impact.

It would be hugely satisfying to discover that a large majority of those future "Christian soldiers" they're breeding end up saying "fuck you" to their batshit crazy parents and go CF.

Yes. Not all kids grow up to accept their parent's religion. Some do rebel and go their own way with another faith or no religion at all. Homeschooled kids are more likely to stay within the "fold" as they know no other way due to isolation from other peoples.

I'm all for people being free to practice their religion, but I draw the line at forcing an innocent third party into it to the point where they know no difference and are unable to make their own choices.
