It would also help greatly if prospective parents didn’t have to fear the influences of an increasingly perverted, sex-driven, pro-homosexual societal culture.

For various reasons both good and bad we don't have any children. Your comment highlights one of the "good" reasons-during the brief time in our lives when children were possible we were both working full-time yet there was very little money, and none at all for religious school. We were dead-set against letting strangers and the godless public schools raise a child of ours. So nothing happened.

I admit that for every night I sleep uneasily worrying about my future I spend a night sleeping soundly because I'm NOT worrying about my child. We have a lot of Christian friends with kids and with a few exceptions the children are turning out amoral, colossally selfish and sexually confused. Worse, they are STAYING that way into their thirties. I've seen marriages fail because adult children (and often their adult friends/lovers/ambiguous "companions") are living at home putting huge emotional and financial strains on their parents. It's scary to watch.
