It will be the Christians from the “global south” nations that will most likely be sent to the west and bring back the Gospel of Jesus.
Alternate title: How God Lost the West
They gotta’ provide bodies for spirit children. On a more practical note, conservatives need to provide voters for the future. I’ve done my part, and encourage the yoots to do the same.
Just saw this on tonight's local news coverage of the dismemberment of a local Catholic Church. Yesterday, it was like a circus atmosphere as people gathered to watch the demolition team. Food vendors set up their carts and news reporters sent their cable towers heavenward. So many people! They spent hours watching yet not one of them showed up for mass at church or has even inquired about mass times.
“A professor from Columbia University said, “This is the Mitt Romney I did not want to vote for, that I did not vote for. He kept making us think that he was this normal moderate guy but really he is a religious fanatic telling 21 year old college graduates to have binders-full of children.” Is it really abnormal, immoderate, and fanatical to counsel early marriage and big families?”
Because it’s so hip, so urban and chic, in a European sort of way, to let your ethnicity (yes, white Americans are an ethnicity) to die of extinction.
Just ask the French how cool it is to sit at the cafe and to try to sound philosophical and to live for pleasure above all else.
Listen to their smug answers.
Then read George Wiegel’s “The Cube and the Cathedral” and you’ll understand why those same hip French sitting at their cafes are being forced to run for cover as Islamic youths burn their towns down.
Let’s not start looking to Mitt Romney, a leader in an anti-Christian religious cult, as a fellow believer who in some way brings us honor or good advice. It’s an embarrassment everytime the LDS is compared to Christianity.
This can be summarized succinctly. “Sex outside of marriage is catastrophic.”
It weakens adults, who then eventually produce weaker children. Children of single mothers have disadvantaged lives and are 60% more likely to criminally offend.
Family prosperity is handicapped and marriages are destroyed by adultery. For all the endless promises from sex outside of marriage, all that really results is disaster.
And marriage is a religious sacrament. Without religious support of marriage, it truly becomes what the atheists have always imagined it to be, a social contrivance.
It is the job of religion to enforce marriage, to prevent outsiders from interloping, and to prevent children from being molested.
The main stream media just can’t get enough of mocking Romney and his religion. Every chance they get.
My library never gets her books.
Willard 2013 “If you meet a person you love, get married. Have a quiver full of kids if you can.”

Willard 1994 (as a candidate for the US Senate) “I would leave it [gay adoption] up to the states. I would not oppose it or require it.”
Willard 2006, as governor of Massachusetts, Romney told the Boston Globe that same-sex couples have “a legitimate interest in being able to receive adoptive services.”
Willard 2012 (as a candidate for POTUS) “if two people of the same gender want to live together, want to have a loving relationship, even want to adopt a child — in my state, individuals of the same sex are able to adopt children. In my view, that’s something which people have the right to do.”
Luke 18:8
I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"
“Single Women” = Liberal code for “Homosexuals”.

I don’t buy this at all.
At least here in the Northeast, it is by far the upper-middle class that have most maintained intact families—and yet you’d be hard pressed to find anyone within those families under the age of 70 who believes literally in the Christian teachings about Christ (as opposed to the teachings of Christ, which would still be widely embraced).
The issue, I think, is that those religions which spread most vigorously in the past are those which teach origination stories and doctrine that are challenged by education and modernity.
Meditation and Buddhism actually fit much more comfortably in this demographic in part because they don’t teach what for many has become unbelievable and in part because they don’t tend to be so institutionally hierarchical, looking as if those at the top prosper from the faith of those below.
Usually, when two theories are advanced to explain the same phenomenon, both theories miss a root cause common to both.
In this case, the root cause of the decline of the West is Protestantism. Its insistence of Bible alone sufficient for individual understanding of Christianity disrupted the continuity of Christian faith from the Fathers of the Church and gave rise to a self-contained skeptic who believes that because he can read he has no need for the Church, and because he can figure out science he has no need of God.
Its idea that faith is separate from good works, and that predestination operates without regard of good works based on declarative faith alone has created a man without an obligation beyond an economic debt. Child rearing then ceased to be a work of obedience to the first commandment given man, and became a matter of economic expediency; marriage became a contract voidable upon mutual consent.
Both theories have a common root.
