I think the answer is yes!

This is why we have to re-evaluate our hermeneutics... how we treat the bible and its worldview.

Have you read the fascinating article How Playing Good Christian Housewife Almost Killed Me? It is a powerful testimony to the extremes that a literalist hermeneutic will take you.

She sums up the problem, the Christian problem, in this one paragraph:

"The reason you can find Quiverfull families in nearly every type of Christian congregation is because Quiverfull beliefs are not actually a radical departure from traditional Christian teachings regarding marriage and family. It is my contention that Quiverfull IS regular Christianity writ large ... lived out to its logical conclusion."
I admire her. It took a great deal of honesty and courage to get out of that situation. And it took even more honesty and courage to talk about it openly.Ā
