What they are saying is that women who are unable to conceive while married are being punished for having had premarital sex and for having used birth control.
Quite the presumption
No that's actually how they think. They're insane. Like actually insane. Howling at the moon, rubber room and grippy sock, danger to themselves and others bat shit insane. Gleefully bounding into new unknown lands of just snake-fuckingly crazy.
I was raised in it. They really believe that all suffering is a curse from their impotent god. And that everyone who is suffering deserves it for one vague "sin" or another.
Which is hilarious because according to their holy text that’s not how this works.
There are examples in the Old Testament of God being like, “I’m going to punish you because of such-and-such,” but that doesn’t mean every bad thing is a punishment.
Jesus disciples were like, “Why was this man born blind? Was it his sin or his parents’ sin?” And Jesus said, “Neither, duh.”
It’s depressing to me how focused on sin evangelicals are. The whole point of Christianity is that all have sinned and fallen short, so they need Jesus. But evangelicals don’t know shit about their own theology. They sing their songs about how great and powerful their god is and they go out to judge people and enforce their idea of the law.
I wasn't arguing with you.
Blaming birth control for later infertility has a long history despite being absolutely unproven medically.
Yeah, but gawd werkz in misteereeus wayz.
