This is a series we run every Thursday. The questions are things that people who may not know much about the Quiverfull movement or even Fundamentalist or Evangelical Christianity ask about the lifestyle. Examining some of the questions involving Quiverfull theology and life can only shine a light on the toxic nature of this lifestyle choice.

One thing is blatantly obvious if you read the personal blogs of many of the self-described ‘Good Christian Patriarchs’ of Quiverfull — they spent way more time than the average person thinking about homosexuality, gay sex and other things that are none of their business. With Kevin Swanson it seems to be bestiality. Tim Bayly and Steven Anderson rage on and on about homosexuality. With Doug Wilson it seems to be sexual assault victims. Von Ohlman was hung up on young people having sex, while guys like Larry Solomon are focused on women losing the rights to vote, work, own property, bank accounts and leave the home.

Which, of course, leads me to ask the why? Why focus so hard on one issue that’s not even Biblical? If homosexuality is the worst sin ever wouldn’t Jesus have mentioned it at least once or twice? Same with bestiality. Why pick some issue barely touched by the Bible and make it the entire focus of your ministry? Is it the very thing that pastor is struggling with? Makes you wonder what inner demons each of these guys is wrestling with and why the rest of us have to put up with it.
