Don Bosco: Priest & friend to children of Christian Marriages

So we all know I shill a lot of products on here. Frankly, I like to buy shit, and I assume all your other good consumer whores do as well. We’re trained to buy things. It keeps the economy going and makes us feel better because we own stuff… and starving people in African countries don’t. Let’s laugh at them.

So what do these elements have in common?

I was looking up resource material for an article on Eugenics (Not the Nazi kind. I’m more of a post-humanist eugenics believer) when I ran across a book titled:

BIRTH CONTROL IS SINFUL IN THE CHRISTIAN MARRIAGES and also ROBBING GOD OF PRIESTHOOD CHILDREN!! (Paperback)

I swear I’m not making this shit up!

So here’s an African American woman, who has obviously self published because no respectable publishing house would allow two exclamation marks next to each other in a title, who’s very against birth control (the most common form of Eugenics, honestly) and she’s trying to sell you shit.

I’ll be brave and admit that not only did I not buy this book, I didn’t even bother attempting to find a pirated copy that I could peruse. I think the title basically tells you everything that’s going to be in it, and this is probably a book that you can indeed judge by the cover.
Never mind the hilarity involved in the price tag alone, if you want a really good laugh, read over some of the comments. Or check out the tags that people have given this.

What’s particularly worrisome, other than the way she looks on the front cover given that this book was published in 2008, and the photo seems to be straight out of the 80s, is that this book manages to go to nearly 650 pages in length. I’m a fan of reading, I’ve gotten through Hamilton’s Night’s Dawn series… But I seriously question precisely how you can get nearly 650 pages worth of this, when the title alone pretty much sums up every argument you can possibly make in this regard.

I’m also thinking given the controversy of the priesthood vis-a-vis children over the last decade that the last thing any one really wants to do is give their children over to said group.
