I have come to sort of understand why you all hate us, or imagine we are not God's children.

I think if you go back in history, there was always a desire to increase the population. Even though some of us were never going to become heirs to the family fortune. Well, most of us.

But it was still a requirement, we were supposed to make babies, to help out, basically.

And being opposed to this kind of groupthink was criminalized. Don't really think it had to do with, some people are cool and some people are uncool. It was probably more of a matter that some people contribute bab I es to the woeld, and some people don't.

This sort of thinking becomes institutionalized. It would be easy to say the Bible is against it, but the Bible is against all sorts of things we do anyway. It's a grab-bag of ideas and concepts; where to begin?

Well you begin where it matters most. You need population growth in order to sustain your authoritarian system.

And so, even though women are supposed to cover their heads when they pray, and usury is outlawed, you mostly care that some people aren't reproducing. That's where you start.

Plus gay people are offensive and gross and also kind of interesting.
