The Upside of Liberalism

Al Mohler has an article on his website called The Return of Patriarchy? Fatherhood and the Future of Civilization. He comments on Phillip Longman's article in the current issue of Foreign Policy. Longman has pursued a very interesting line of thought. Basically what he is saying is that feminists and liberals will eventually wipe out their chances of promoting their view because they do not procreate. Conservatives on the other hand are populating the world. To me it is just another clear indication of the wisdom of God. We are to be fruitful and multiply and the man is to be the head of his home (Gen 1:28; Eph 5:22ff). When we don't live by God's Word our lives are reduced to absurdity and oblivion.
