Get Busy, Y'all

I just can't leave this topic alone.

Theology of the Body shares this information from a recent seminar:

Current World Population Demographics:
1 Billion Muslims
14 Million Jews
1.8 Billion Christians


The average Western Muslim family produces 6.4 children.
The average Western Modern Orthodox Jewish family produces 3.23 children.
The average Western Christian family produces 1.82 children.

If the numbers were to remain consistent in one generation:
The legacy of the Western Muslim family is 295 people.
The legacy of the Western Modern Orthodox Jewish family is 151 people.
The legacy of the Western Christian family family is 62 people.

... and if the numbers were to remain consistent over four generations:
The legacy of the Western Muslim family will be 2,588 people.
The legacy of the Western Modern Orthodox Jewish family will be 346 people.
The legacy of the Western Christian family will be 13 people

Hat tip: Crystal , who exhorts us, "Get busy, y'all." I agree, but still laughed out loud!
