In response to a Time Magazine article about choosing to be childless, home school activist Kevin Swanson heaps condemnation and judgment upon those having done so for any variety of reasons. His sect is particularly harsh on a regular basis upon those not having spawned in their late teens or early 20’s. But is it really proper to heap guilt upon people for circumstances or inclinations beyond their control? One would assume God would want the individual to be somewhat selective with whom one decides to breed. Shouldn’t you at least love the person? There is no pleasing those of the Swansonite mentality. They harangue just about up to the point of revoking the status of Christian from those not yielding to their fanatical agenda but would rain down even hotter hell fire upon those seeking a mate beyond the boundaries of their borderline cult. Might it be best in some circumstances for those not suited in terms of personality and occupational status to refrain from having children rather than to end up in a situation where neither parent nor child would be particularly happy? Or perhaps the purpose of harping on this by certain homeschool factions is to drag the remainder of Christendom down to their particular level of misery and dissatisfaction.
