Don’t get me wrong, this will turn around, in the distant future. But not because the graying, entitlement-broke society found some oh-so convenient secular, socially-liberal, hyper-individualist way to promote child-bearing and rearing in intact homes made up of father and mothers.
No, it’ll be because that old society will have replaced itself with the devout who were already among them, and with the devout they had to ship in to keep the economy and old-age welfare state going for as long as possible. These devout, actually bearing children. Basically, the righteous will inherent the earth. Again.[/quote]
You understand that the righteous have never inherited the earth, right? It’s always been the most brutal group which beats the other into submission that inherits the territory.
Funny story to that end: when the Spanish invaded what’s now Mexico City, many surrounding tribes joined their effort and converted to their God after observing that he was more powerful and blood thirsty than their own. They joined Christianity because the Christian God was more fierce in their eyes than their Gods.[/quote]
Iron, try to think a bit about peoples’ posts. Here, I spoke of religion in general. Righteousness, however it may be defined by the system. Here, I’m not defining it. The actual common theme is religion. The devout have higher fertility rates than the secular. The secular have to ship in the devout. And, WILL have to even increase this in order to fund an increasingly stressed welfare state. So, the righteous will inherent the earth, again.
