Bhagavad Gita 1.39 to 1.42

Interesting stuff, here. Arjuna is talking to Krisna and beseeching him to stop a battle because Arjuna's relatives are on both sides. Arjuna is supposed to fight on one side, but he can't bring himself to do it. His argument runs like this:

1.39 With the destruction of dynasty, the eternal family tradition is vanquished, and thus the rest of the family becomes involved in irreligion.

This is what Christians are afraid of with their whole Family Values campaign. Given that this text was written thousands of years ago, when the only morality was religion, we can substitute "immorality" for "irreligion". I don't think that Christians need fear scientific objectivity destroying their morality. The modern day "destruction of the dynasty" occurs with displaced or trapped populations, African Americans, the Chinese, the Iraqis.

1.40 When irreligion is prominent in the family, O Krishna, the women of the family become polluted, and from the degradation of womanhood, O descendant of Vrishni, comes unwanted progeny.

Not much else to say here, overpopulation is rampant in populations that lack values.

1.41 An increase of unwanted population certainly causes hellish life both for the family and for those who destroy the family tradition. The ancestors of such corrupt families fall down, because the performances for offering them food and water are entirely stopped.

Those that destroyed the family tradition now have to deal with mass numbers of the valueless. Their "ancestors" or their ability to gain insight from the past, is lost.

1.42 By the evil deeds of those who destroy the family tradition and thus give rise to unwanted children, all kinds of community projects and family welfare activities are devastated.

This needs no commentary.

1.43 O Krishna, maintainer of the people, I have heard by disciplic succession that those who destroy family traditions dwell always in hell.
