I’m not surprised. White Christians love big families. And that’s a good thing.

There may be many reasons why white christians do what they do, but it has a positive net effect most of the times. I still have problems with them and their religion, but to deny the facts...

People like socks and actuallynot will make jokes about Christians and conservatives because the worst of these groups really don't give a shit, and they tend to be really loud. The best Christians give lots of shits, and they tend to be really heartfelt in their attempts to help. That doesn't mean they always do a great job, but it is better than the average modern consumer who accepts non-medical abortion done for recreational reasons, like the lack of money, free time, or interest in responsibility. I don't think we need religion to have morality, ya know?

We don’t need religion per se to have a good sense of morality, but it does help. In the absence of religion, living in a healthy, strong, tightly-knit community can also influence positive morality.
