As far as the whole church thing...

I have friends who belong to a very conservative southern baptist church (in California). Their Pastor believes in "God's work in reproduction". They encourage married couples to not use birth control, since birth control hinders God's work. :rolleyes:

Their Pastor has 7 kids. Many of the leaders in the church also have many kids. All the newlyweds get pregnant within the first few months of marriage.

Note: This is an extreme view that a very few number of Christians believe. I am not one of them.
