Looking for love

Vox Day has postulates about the future of America:

Is motherhood instinctive or learned behavior? Both religion and science tell us that it is instinctive, much to the distaste of the feminist ideologists, who have never been overburdened by a solid grasp on either. But one need only watch the way in which a young girl mothers her stuffed animals to see the maternal instinct at work.

This is not to say behavior that contradicts these instincts cannot be learned, only that the individual will always possess a certain level of instinct – and, for the purposes of this discussion, it does not matter if those instincts are instilled by evolution or a Creator God – that must be overcome by years of propaganda and social pressure.

The pastors and I had a talk about contrceptives before church a few weeks ago. It boiled down to what exactly was God's thoughts on putting children off until whatever. We came to the conclusion that God was definitely and definitively against it.

If we are to "go forth and multiply", "subdue the earth" we can hardly do it willout a sizeable human population.

Still, the couples I know who are now trying to have children in their early thirties are finding that waiting brings as much trouble as it does benefits. In other words, we do our best to "turn off" our reproductive systems for as long as we like, then when we are "ready" to turn it back on we go straight to God when their is a problem because we hesitated.

Why should God make it work, when you totally ignored Him to focus on what you wanted?
