One thing about the Mormon Church I really respect is their emphasis on the family unit. Being that the planet is in a population decline, more than ever people need to have kids. I think children are precious and we all as a society have a huge responsibility in making sure that this world is a nurturing environment for these kids to grow up in. I think that any religion that wants to be relevant needs to encourage it’s members to form family units and have as many children as possible. I believe that having children can make someone successful and strive to do great things to provide for their children. One thing I really respect about Anton Lavey is by all accounts he was a great father and he fathered children. I also respect the Church Of Satans emphasis on not harming children. I think Anton Lavey saw this and decided to publish this in his works. TST also places an emphasis on children but I haven’t heard any guidance from them about the family unit. I know they like to indoctrinate kids with their after school programs. I wonder how many of their members form family units. I personally don’t have kids but I wish I had kids when I had the opportunity to do so. I was never in the right position economically to have kids so I took the proper precautions with contraceptives so that a I wouldn’t have kids when I was really sexually active in my youth. I am a firm believer in the use of contraceptives and I believe that people who are sexually active should use them if they are not in the proper position in life to have kids, because if someone has kids when they are in a poor position economically then it can be very damaging to the children if they are raised in an unstable environment.
