They don't want children to be educated about sexual activity because that usually is correlated with effective family planning, which means fewer children, which means women having more time for personal empowerment rather than simply being vessels for childbirth, which again means fewer children. Fewer children means fewer minds to convert to the religion that motivates the whole exercise. Many 'successful' religions aggressively propagate themselves, even if it's at the expense of the well-being of the believers themselves.

But they need more babies to propogate Christianity; The popular belief that a celestial Jewish baby who is also his own father, born from a virgin mother, died for three days so that he could ascend to heaven on a cloud and then make you live forever only if you symbolically eat his flesh, drink his blood and telepathically tell him you accept him as your lord & master so he can remove an evil force from your spiritual being that is present in all humanity because an immoral woman made from a man's rib was hoodwinked by a talking reptile possessed by an malicious angel to secretly eat forbidden fruit from a magical tree.

That is possibly my favorite description of Christianity that I have ever read! And very accurate!

I did not write it. But I copy pasted it from another post and saved for future sharing. 🤓

THIS IS WHAT CHRISTIANS ACTUALLY BELIEVE

It also means that kids might learn that rape isn't ok even when he's from a good family

Not to mention, reduced cheap labor. Particularly reduced slave prison labor.
