theweaselkingToday's loonie alert:
"The Scripture does not even envision married couples who choose not to have children. The shocking reality is that some Christians have bought into this lifestyle and claim childlessness as a legitimate option. The rise of modern contraceptives has made this technologically possible. But the fact remains that though childlessness may be made possible by the contraceptive revolution, it remains a form of rebellion against God's design and order.
The church must help this society regain its sanity on the gift of children. Willful barrenness and chosen childlessness must be named as moral rebellion. To demand that marriage means sex--but not children--is to defraud the creator of His joy and pleasure in seeing the saints raising His children. That is just the way it is."

The entire site is evangelical. I'd decribe it as "arrogant, ignorant, and repugnant", but that's pretty much the definition of redundancy once I've said "evangelical". What's worse, this ideologically blinkered supply of idiots has the tagline at the bottom of every page "Your source for gender-related news!", as if they had a monopoly on truth.
Speaking of idiots, hick town in Pennsylvania to add "Intelligent Design" to high-school biology curriculum.
Oh, and another terrifying sign that the American education system has failed completely - courtesy of the Christian Science Monitor, itself a terrifying monument to deliberate ignorance:
