Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not a year goes by without the Pope or another Christian dignitary singing the praises of fecundity and the virtues of family, preferably numerous. However, the reading of the Gospels makes us discover a Christ fiercely hostile to the biological family and even more to reproduction. Among the few thinkers who have considered the issue, Kierkegaard will reach the conclusion that Christianity aimed at "blocking our species". In the wake of Christ, who remained childfree while urging us to become eunuchs for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven, the early Church fathers will also glorify perpetual virginity and disparage carnal fertility. Saint Augustine even wished that everyone would refrain from procreating so that the end of the world would be hastened! Would the natalism of contemporary Christian churches be the greatest deception of all time? In any case, it is an absolute betrayal, which, in this century of global overpopulation, is even more disastrous than that of Judas. The purpose of this essay will be to rediscover a truth carefully concealed: the original Christianity was indeed an antinatalism.About the author: Théophile de Giraud is a French-speaking Belgian writer born in 1968. He is one of the main contemporary advocates of antinatalism in the French language. In favour of the childfree cause, he organized three editions of a Non-Parents Day, which took place in Brussels and Paris between 2009 and 2011. Among other works, he has written an essay entitled: L'art de guillotiner les procréateurs: manifeste antinataliste (The Art of Guillotining Procreators: An Antinatalist Manifesto). This book was published in French in 2006 and is currently being translated into English.
