Churches reward bigger families
October 7, 2011 at 2:31 pm
Church groups and parishes in the Indian state of Kerala have aired concerns about the dwindling numbers of Christians there.

Get this. They've begun offering incentives to couples who produce more children in the wake of a report submitted to Kerala's chief minister proposed imposing a "strict" two-child policy. One church of the Syro-Malabar denomination in Kerala's Wayanad district has offered 10,000 rupees ($200) for a couple's fifth child.

I'm appalled. Kerala is one of the poorest regions of India and its land is nearly three times as densely settled as the rest of the country. This two-child policy to reduce the birth rate was taken on by choice instead of force and it is working, and Christians groups just have to go and screw things up. Bloody typical.

I for one would hate to know I was born into this world simply because of the meddling of some Christian denomination. Brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "Sanctity of life" doesn't it? >.>

Why do you think the Roman catholic church really insist that all normal human hornyness be channeled into making more little roman catholics, and anything that might stand in the way of conceiving little roman catholics be deemed sinful?
