A recent survey found that the average woman kisses 22 men before centering in on Mr. Right. Another study found that Christians (on average) use contraception as much as the wider population. Apparently 98% of Catholic women use birth control (compared to 99% of the wider population). Evangelicals are known to use the birth control pill and hormonal methods more than Mainline Protestants and Catholics. In what ways might a Christian and his family look different from the world, if he really had. . . well, you know. . .faith!?

“ Great Sermon! ” Yes..we need to have Malachi 4:6 t-shirts because of Christian men (don't forget about the curse)--kids are with mom all the time

“ Keynes Quote ” I love this quote:
"The disruptive powers of excessive national fecundity may have played a greater part in bursting the bonds of convention than either the power of ideas or the errors of autocracy."
- John Maynard Keynes
Keynes was blaming "fucundity" for communism. I see it as an antidote to his socialist statism: "errors of autocracy". So I get to feel productive and "disruptive" as the same time.

“ Lord, save us. We need you now. ” Is it really true that 98% of Catholic women use birth control (compared to 99% of the wider population) despite the Catholic Church's constant teaching that: (a.) "Sacred Scripture and the Church's traditional practice see in large families a sign of God's blessing and the parents' generosity" (CCC 2373) and (b.) "[E]very action which, whether in anticipation of the conjugal act, or in its accomplishment, or in the development of its natural consequences, proposes, whether as an end or as a means, to render procreation impossible is intrinsically evil" (CCC 2370)? Since RCC leaders teach that the use of contraception is evil, yet according to this report, almost none of their members are compliant, what does this say for those denominations which have no problem with the use of contraception -- abortifacient or otherwise? If these statistics are even close to true, aren't we entering an unprecedented demographic ice-age? Christ have mercy upon us.
