Mark on the little child(ren)
The anti-natalists are back in force this year, and Steyn doesn’t like it.
The birth of a child. On the one hand, what could be more powerless than a newborn babe? On the other, without a newborn babe, man is ultimately powerless. For, without new life, there can be no civilization, no society, no nothing. Even if it’s superstitious mumbo-jumbo, the decision to root Christ’s divinity in the miracle of His birth expresses a profound - and rational - truth about “eternal life” here on Earth.
