Of course Evangelicals aren’t opposed to contraception. Why would they be? Being anti-birth control is ridiculous.

Being anti-birth control is ridiculous.

Is it? Until the Lambeth conference in 1930, all Christian churches condemned birth control as sinful. Today, the Catholic Church is virtually alone in holding to this ancient belief, as one denomination after another has accepted artificial contraception. This should be a troubling fact for many who believe in Scripture.

We might wonder, why is contraception harmful to marriages? The reasons are many. When sex becomes solely an act for pleasure, with no chance of having children, often a user mentality of one's marriage partner evolves. One or both partners can become selfish, and that selfish behavior can lead to other problems in the relationship.

You may want to visit the link I posted above on what the Bible teaches about artificial birth control.

“Being anti-birth control is ridiculous.”

Liberal Catholics everywhere agree with you. It’s one of the few subjects where most conservative Protestants and all liberal Catholics agree. I don’t think you could find a Catholic who digs “gay marriage”, priestesses, and abortion who also thinks birth control is wrong.
