A lot of "new" religions like Christianity were all about maximizing reproduction because it's easiest to indoctrinate children.

Which leads to those religions calling anything that didn't result in children a sin.

According to the same religious laws against LGBT, masterbation and oral/anal are just as bad.

But they can't even give up blowjobs and expect everyone else to follow just some parts of someone else religious rules.

I thought Christianity is like that because it was based on Judaism, and Judaism is like that because the Hebrews kept getting killed. Hard to keep a people if they don't reproduce and you are constantly enslaved or at war.

Modern Christianity seems to prohibit abortion. Historical and modern Judaism seems fine with abortion.

Judaism isn't really fine with abortion. Just allows it in certain situations, especially if the mothers health in in danger.

Judaism believes the soul enters the body when the body takes its first breath, where Christianity believes the soul enters at conception.
