It will never stop being entertaining to me how the wannabe-iconoclast performative behavior of conservatives has them all acting like hippies lol. Raw milk, anti-vax,now they’re all happy about gun laws with Hunter’s conviction. Next thing you know there will be a conservative free love movement thinly veiled as a way to boost our low birth rates.
What do you mean "will be"? They've explicitly encouraged having large families for centuries, and implicitly encouraged having kids outside a family too, by forbidding birth control and abortion.
Yes but on the surface at least they also insist on monogamy or at the very least serial monogamy. Free love is typically more of a polyamorous movement.
Mostly, yeah.
Although, the Bible does say that if your brother dies and didn't make any babies with his wife, it's your job now. https://www.esv.org/Genesis+38:8;Deuteronomy+25:5;Matthew+22:24;Mark+12:19;Luke+20:28/
When your brother married a hottie so you "accidentally" spill cyanide in his tea.
Similar to the "Uriah Method." Send him to the front line of a battle, feign sadness upon his untimely (yet highly anticipated) death, then steal his wife.
Well. Except for the fact that David had already gotten Bathsheba pregnant by that point. He had Uriah called back from the front so that there could be some plausible claim that Uriah was the father, but Uriah refused to have sex with his wife while he was on leave because--IIRC--he wanted to stand in solidarity with his buddies on the front line that weren't home with their wives. So David had him killed in order to try and cover up their adultery.
For a guy that's supposed to be one of the good guys, David was a real piece of work.
I think there is a lesson in there about adultery being very bad or something.
I actually know of one guy from an extremely religious family that married his brother’s wife when his brother died. I always wondered if it was true love or duty.
That I am less upset about. Kids were a net profit in that time period. For a woman passed the point where she can just get married, with presumably her dowry being depleted, having a kid with the brother meant that she would have a hand in the whole not starving thing.
I won't judge people that poor for making hard decisions. Just be glad that no one reading this lives in a world like that.
