Lol, you don't have to be celibate to be willfully childless. I have plenty of friends that got the snip/knot before having a kid because they don't want one. And they are some of the sluttiest motherfuckers I know (and they'd take that as the compliment it was).

Southern Baptists are one step better than Al Queda in my mind. They should be outlawed as an extremist group.

As someone who left the Southern Baptist cult as soon as my brain developed, this is nothing new.
Who cares? Protestants are heretics who will burn in hell anyway. Because god hates them. Not that I'd give a fuck but it seems they do. 😁

Fuck your religion
The Southern Baptist Church is a Satanic cult. If your religion leads you to hate, you are not worshiping God, you're worshiping the Devil. They're devil worshipers, the whole lot of them.
Their god killed everyone who wasn't on the Ark. It's not them doing religion wrong; it's a severe case of religion.

Baptist like to pick people who drank, did drugs and slept around to teach sunday school. This is no joke. They get some 'reformed' asshole with questionable decision making skills to instruct children and warn them of the dangers of having a good time.
Willful childlessness is such a hilarious concept. I'm rollin' around here.
What are they gonna do? Check if you're having unprotected sex sufficiently? Check how many miscarriages you've had? HAHAHAHAh. Fuckin' donkeys.
edit: Small gubment.
They won't care if some of the women they hurt were genuinely trying to comply.
Oh. I guess I read that wrong as "willful childishness" and thought they were just being kind of petty at the end.
To be fair, that would be completely on brand for them
Ban birth control in your area.
Story time - When I was a kid you had to get condoms through a family planning clinic or by crossing a border and many chose the latter. It was gone by the time I became old enough for it to be an issue for me.
Thankfully I live in the same country where there would immediately be government ending riots if there was any attempt to ban any form of birth control. Hell, the cops wouldn't even stop the riots, they'd probably join in.
I hadn't considered that though in fairness. It's just such a crazy notion.
You mean, pay for my therapy, fix my broken personality, and force me to touch grass?
I mean....If you either need or should have it then..... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯....sure? (genuinely hope you're OK though. If not and you need to talk then hit me up.)
The touching grass part is up to you though. It's just outside.
Southern Baptists? I think you left out all their other usual targets: Catholics, spicy food, jazz, orgasms for fun, bright colors not associated with flags or maybe a football team, female orgasms, singing, alcohol, drag shows, salads with less than 51% mayonnaise content, men using umbrellas, single mothers, showing people kissing on TV or movies, Jews, Muslims, really any brown person, wasabi, mangoes, and aged cheese.
Dancing, you left out dancing and.. fun. Short shorts, miniskirts and bikinis.

Since you brought up salad, any lettuce other than iceberg, lest we forget arugala-gate
As long as there's 1 liter of ranch dressing per leaf of lettuce, Jesus will allow it.

support policies that promote childbearing.
...like making abortion legal in all 50 states again? Like comprehensive sex education in schools? Like treating women as people and not property?
The most effective way for the Southern Baptists to promote childbearing would be for them to stay the fuck out of politics!
Part of conservatism is the idea that "the more complex a solution is, the wronger it is."
Another part is "We should be able to control women's use of their hoo-hoos for pleasure by restricting them to being baby chambers."
Here we have a venn diagram where the circles are the same.

Note them prioritizing childbearing and not childrearing. Though they also aren't prioritizing childbearing regardless of what they say.

Southern baptists were pro-choice until the rise of the "moral majority" required southern baptists to fall in line with the catholic church on abortion to create the supply side Jesus we know today.
Abortion policies are a DIRECT REASON why I haven't had any more children. If I can't have guaranteed access to necessary, life-saving medical treatment (e.g. emergency abortions) then I won't put my wife's life at risk for one more child.
I was kinda annoyed at the article for not giving any details on the kinds of policies they wanted there, even something as simple as better tax credits for having kids would go a long way towards making children affordable. And yet I am sure that's not what these people are advocating for.
Note that none of these policies ever involve “giving.” It’s all taking this away, means-testing this, banning that, etc.
All people have to do is stop donating money to religions and the religions lose their "power".
The cult members just have to stop supporting the cult?!?
Look at captain obvious over here!
I'm kidding you a bit, but seriously, you're just restating the problem.
Maybe it needs restating over and over until people get it and act on it?
Perhaps the message reaches someone who needs to hear it.

So if they want to use their influence for political ends, why are they tax exempt?
Gtfo with your logic. We don't want your kind here.

I'm so tired of religious extremists trying to force their shitty Puritanical views on the whole world.
And since Blue States contribute more to taxes than they take, and vice versa for red, we are literally funding them dragging us back to the dark ages.

That stance against sports betting annoys me so much, because that means I can't just look at everything they stand for and say I want the opposite.
Yeah, predatory ads for gambling really drive me crazy. Although I'd say my reasoning for being against it is pretty different from the Baptists.
I've never know a happy Southern Baptist. I'm not interested in being as miserable as them.
The Southern Baptist only exist because the other Baptists were against slavery. Fuck every single one of them.
