Imagine a country full of home-schooled children who are taught that people who do not believe what they believe, act the way they act, live the way they live deserve to be discriminated against, deported, incarcerated, or worse... Sounds like a B movie filled with tykes whose eyes emit laser beams, vaporizing people they feel threatened by, doesn't it?
Well, that B movie is just the thing envisioned by Bryan Fischer's D-class intellect. The reasoning goes like this: the left has so many pro-choice people, feminists and homosexuals that the right will outbreed them and (insert maniacal laughter) take over the world!
What this means quite simply is that liberals are breeding themselves out of existence ... All this represents a marvelous opportunity for conservatives. We can regain political control of this country by simply following the biblical mandate to "be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth."
Of
course, the thought never occurred to Fischer that some gays, feminists
and pro-choice people might be bred in the process, because true
Christians NEVER have gay, pro-choice or feminist children. Note to
Fischer: breeding to outnumber doesn't guarantee complete extinction,
unless you couple overbreeding wityh conscious genocide - the kind that
your friends want in Uganda (and Zimbabwe and Texas).
And those
conservatives he speaks to, none of them are "on the dole" are they?
Popping out kids for the sake of a political population explosion means
that the parents better have the means to support them. Fischer is a
typical pro-lifer who confuses being "pro-birth" with "pro-life." After
the infant gets slapped on the butt and cries, Fischer doesn't care
what happens to the kid. Pay for those kids? Their homes, their food,
their clothes, their education? Don't be ridiculous! Once that kid is
born, the parents have to make do. Let them shell out for Fischer's
beliefs. After all, that's the American way! And if the kid winds up
becoming a criminal on death row, well, Fischer will never attempt to
stay his execution. So it's pop kids out as fast as possible, imbue
them with as much hatred for liberals as you possibly can, hope they
survive to voting age, then sick them on an unsuspecting Congress (OK,
the last may not be very hard to do). Pretty cool idea, huh?
QUIVERFULL
The Quiverfull movement espouses having as many children as possible, faithfully following the dictum "Be friutful and multiply." If every child is a "gift from God" then the movement's followers can be viewed as somewhat greedy. But according to some, Quiverfull people are more than greedy for "gifts from God", they are "culture warriors":
On July 25, 2005, ABC Good Morning America segment, "Is eight really enough?" Deborah Roberts interviews Rachel Scott, author of "Birthing God's Mighty Warriors". Rachel Scott discusses the trend toward larger families, managing finances with more mouths to feed and she states, "when good people stop having kids, society fails."
If
this militaristic stance seems familiar, look back to evangelical
leaders like Rod Parsley and Lou Engle. Their sermons are filled with
militaristic jargon that would make a general proud. The unfortunate
thing about religious militarism is that too many congregants react
eomtionally and physically to it.
Fundamentalists aren't very good with metaphors.
And
the militarism is most effectively used on children from day one.
Breeding little armies is very "fruitful". One of the most blatant
examples of "breeding for God" has been cable TV's Duggar family. The
family's promoting over-population to such an extent that one wonders
about the parents' motives: are they supporting the kids or are the
kids supporting them?
