My Comments in BOLD This board can be added to by guests, no need to sign up, you can post anything here. your own versions of these.
1. We love receiving gifts and blessings from God. yes he blessed you with breasts down to your ankles, no sense of self identity
2. Why would I ever want to turn down one of God's blessings? because of the expense the trouble kids cause
3. We not only want to receive gifts from God for ourselves, but we want to give more gifts to the world. Every God gives us is a gift to the world. if they are a gift where can you return them
4. It's so exciting to see who God will send to bless us each time. yes could be a serial killer of a pedophile or worse a politician
5. It's an honor for the Lord to use my womb again. does your hubbie know your cheating on him
6. I love being "with child." put a watermelon there and you can have the feeling forever
7. I love to see what God thinks of next. I believe each child is a precious and unique thought, with vast possibilities, straight from our Heavenly Father. It's the most exciting thing in my entire life to give birth and see the new little person. There is nothing that moves me as much as seeing the birth of a baby. he could be an athiest, or an axe murderer, or a prostitute
8. I love to behold the handiwork of the Lord as a new little miracle comes forth. so you have got nothing to do with your kid, only god, then get him to pay for paternity
9. The birth of a baby is the ultimate fulfillment of love between a husband and wife. Each child is an unbreakable bond between a father and mother. so no one has divorced over the birth of a kid
10. It is amazing to think that each child is a part of me and my beloved husband. which part is your kid, 1/3rd gods, 1/3rd hubbie, 1/3rd wifes..
11. God said to Jeremiah, "BEFORE I formed you in the womb I knew you..." God is the One who will form my future children. If He knew Jeremiah before conception, then He knows all my children before conception, yes, even the children who haven't yet been formed. I don't want to refuse children God has chosen. if he knows them then why do you need to have them
12. I'd love another baby because to choose not to is like saying NO to God. I want to say YES to God and His will for my life. dont you mean oh yes oh yes oh yes to god
13. I'll have more people to love. you mean more than then 6.3 billion already on this planet
14. I'll have more hands to help. its called slavery 15. I'll have more babies to nurse and therefore less risk of breast cancer. yeah and thats really going to be a reason to have a kid, yes son we had you so mum can not have breast cancer
16. I feel so blessed that God wants to reward us again. once again, a child as a reward, reward for having sex, its more a booby prize
17. I look upon each child as an incredibly beautiful jewel. Each one takes on a different loveliness and I can't wait to see the next jewel arrive. wouldnt you rather have diamonds and emeralds to mewling brats
18. Another baby in the family makes my other children so happy. have they told you this or are you just assuming 19. I love to see the faces of my children as they see a new brother or sister for the first time. what the gross, puke view of it all slimed up. 20. Babies teach the older children so much about caring for little ones, being kind, protective, and unselfish. kids unselfish, rubbish kids only look out for number 1 21. Children brighten up the home. They make life interesting. brighten up the white walls with red crayons, and vomit stains on your clothes 22. I become a better mother with each child I have. wow,does this mean the first kid u had had a bad mother 23. Children teach me patience. or homicidal techniques 24. My children think I'm beautiful no matter how I look. because they dont know any better, and you really want a 3 and 4 year old to tell you that you are attactive, and not your hubbie 25. The more children we have, the more they entertain one another. yes with lets see who can make timmy scream the loudest 26. There's always someone around to visit with, play with, pray with, or read to. yes always , around no matter what you do, always there, 27. It's just as easy to cook for ten as it is for one! it all depends on what your cooking them, dialling up for a pizza takes 30 mins or less or your pizza is free 28. More children give us the opportunity to have our faith increased as we see God meet our daily needs. so kids are a substitute to prayer then and you expect god to give you handouts 29. You have your own cheering squad in whatever you do. gimme a M gimme an O gimme another O, what does that spell MOO 30. The more children we have, the more impact we have upon the world. yes, more resources, more water, more food, more pollution, more greed, more consumerism 31. We want to establish a godly dynasty that will continue down the generations to come. until the world is jam packed with people and everyone is starving 32. We want to raise another soul for Jesus.why cant god make more souls, thats his job and what does jesus want with them, is there a black market in souls 33. We desire to raise up a standard for God in this evil day. 34. More children releases more of Christ in our home. as if there isnt too many people in that home to start with 35. Because babies are the most irresistible things on earth. nah i can resist them fine 36. There is nothing like a new baby in the house.definatly, the smells of vomit and dirty nappies 37. There is no occupation more rewarding than motherhood. i dont see adverts for occupation of moo's do they pay employment tax
38. Because I am fulfilling the only career that is eternal! Every other career will be left behind when we leave this earth, but I can take my children with me into glory. My children are eternal souls who will live for ever. and how will you leave the earth in a shiny vehicle to alpha centauri
39. Parenthood is investing in eternity. where is the bank of eternity, i aint seen a company called that 40. Children are like arrows which we send to places where we will never be able to go. good position for a kid on the end of a wooden pole and sent to the stratosphere
41. We want to fill our quiver. but a quiver only holds so many. 42. Because of the people who might be reached for Christ through this child. that is if he is a beleiver, he may not 43. I want to increase the 'salt' and 'light' proportion in the world! salt, and light, i thought salt came mostly from the sea, and light from the sun, so yes lets send them to the bottom of the sea and to the sun 44. We're forming our own orchestra to make music to the Lord. and which one will be playing the tuba 45. Having and raising children aids in sanctification of us parents. so having a kid makes you holy, but then what about jesus, he didnt have any kids.. 46. Having children helps to develop in us the godly character of servanthood. back to slavery 47. My children help me surrender the selfish desires of my flesh. you mean like sex, eating, breathing etc etc 48. Parenthood allows us to experience the kind of love our Heavenly Father has for us. your god is a vengeful god, he shall smote down the wicked. 49. In an era when so many individuals condone the denial, or taking of life - we want to give life - for life is sacred. and yes every sperm is sacred 50. We don't want to deprive our parents of their "crowning glory" (Proverbs 17:6). We want to bless them with grandchildren. so having a kid isnt a crowning glory only having grandkids 51. Our children are my teachers. I learn sweet things from them every day. like, johnny done ploopy plops 52. I'm replenishing the earth with godly seed. then let him sow for himself, 53. I want to be obedient to God's Word to "Be fruitful and multiply." until the world explodes or dies from starvation 54. My children are my friends and my brothers and sisters in the Lord. Now who can have too many of these? if your kids are your friends you really do need to get out more 55. I have a passionate love for babies. yes its called pedophilia 56. I just love being a mother. I love being pregnant. I love giving birth and I love breastfeeding. what with the 3 am feedings, the feeling of a watermelon in your stomach, the feeling of pushing watermelon out of a hosepipe, and the droopy saggy breasts
57. I love the sweet smiles, the delightful giggle, the soft baby to cuddle. moke some dope instead its cheaper 58. Jesus said that when we welcome a little child into our home and family we are actually welcoming Him. I don't want to spurn Jesus. spurn him baby, spurn him, its a disco inferno, what has he done for you recently 59. We want our children to have the riches of many relationships with brothers and sisters. When we are no longer living, our children will have each other for encouragement, fellowship and a sense of family. yes and no brother ever killed brother, hello cain, hello abel 60. The more children we have, the more our love is multiplied. why not breed cockroaches then, they can make billions 61. We still have an empty seat in our van, and we'd like to fill it! i am sure you can fit 2 in the ashtray 62. Our children are all so wonderful, who could resist another one? once again i can, 63. God says that children are a reward and we believe Him! do you beleive everything god says, check out pauls gospel, 64. Children are the most precious gift of marriage. i thought that was a toaster 65. We get lots of experience in sharing and communicating. eat your dinner, NO, eat your dinner NO, eat your dinner, NO, clean your dinner off the dog, NO he he he 66. Children help me see my daily dependence on God for His wisdom and strength. is there a 12 step program for kid dependence, hi i am maisie, i am on 2 kids a day i am an addict 67. I love to feel a precious life within my womb. try having a liver fluke, it gives you the same warm feeling 68. Large families are FUN! And we love having fun. ask the kids are they fun everyone is always busy with brat number 4 doing a number 2
69. In a large family, the children and teenagers don't want to go out to find entertainment because they are lonely and bored - there is already fun and entertainment at home A new baby reminds me of how Jesus came into the world. thye cant afford to go out as you have baby sitters, like a prison,
70. To be open to more children shows our present children that we love them. How can our children understand the love of God if we have the attitude that a certain number of children is too many? its called living life, rather than the self imposed overcrowded mess 71. More children help to grow the church. then why dont you give money to the church instead 72. I want to rear strong soldiers for the Lord. yes a 3 year old with an ak 47 is summat you really want to see 73. I'll be able to spend eternity with my children. and it goes on and on and on, what will you talk about after the first 3 seconds 74. My body was created for this purpose. and thats the only reason why you are alive how sad 75. Family celebrations - birthdays, holidays and Christmas are even more wonderful with a new baby in the house. yes nothing like a good smell of vomit, and dirty diapers when people are eating
76. Hope for mankind is expressed in the miracle of a baby's birth. Wherever there is life, there is Hope. but what kind of life, human or animal or insect life 77. Babies are sweet, cuddly, adorable and have so much potential. It's like planting seeds in a flower garden - a beautiful bouquet for the future. potential to be a weed, or a cereal killer 78. There will be more people to pay for the aged's social security benefits. yes thats right the reason to have kids is the wallet of your future selves 79. I want to yield my womb as a living sacrifice to God. if you want a sacrifice i will be only too happy to use a knife to sacrifice ur womb 80. To prevent menses and enjoy the nursing hormones of prolactin and oxytocin. My most enjoyable and peaceful times are during the absence of menses during pregnancy To give a sweet testimony to a lost world. its called birth control, you moron, and whats ,more no more mess 81. Babies remind us of how wonderful and how creative our God is. yes he created viruses and diseases and wars, and bombs 82. We are training a godly generation that will cover the earth with the Gospel and prepare the way for Jesus' return. sieg heil, 83. Younger children teach the older children how to be helpers. By the time the are old enough to be married and have children of their own, they'll be prepared for raising them. were you prepared when you spawned 84. I want another arrow for God's army. well what you do is you get some wood, and some metal, and some feathers and there you have an arrow 85. I love to feel a precious new life moving within me. try a parasite oh wait you have, try a liver fluke instead that will make you lose weight 86. I would hate to stand before God on Judgment Day and have to answer why I rejected the children He had ordained for our family. have you got writen instructions on that, i was only obeying orders 87. Our children have taught me the value of relationships and the shallowness of the world's value system. yes the shallowness of having kid after kid after kid 88. I trust God in all other areas of my life and I want to trust Him in the area of having children too. never trust a person who says trust me 89. It sure is nice to kiss and smell a little one again. Their scent is so sweet. but a rose is infinitely nicer, so is bread, try aroma therapy
90. Babies are also a blessing to other people. They sure love to hold and cuddle mine. Since my siblings have stopped at two children per family, I want to supply them for my parents and everyone else's pleasure. and you give these kids to strangers to cuddle
91. Our horizon and interests are constantly widened. Each child is born with a different destiny upon his/her life. Each child has different gifts. As we encourage our children in their varied gifts we constantly learn new things ourselves. Our children will often take on ventures and interests that we would never have dreamed of. Parenthood is not confining, but enlarging. they all get born, they all live they all die, same destiny
92. Babies are future dish washers! only if you can fit 27 plates into their mouths 93. Babies are a lot more entertaining than TV. but contains just as much violence and sex 94. We're helping to build the kingdom of God. with all these people it should be done anytime next tuesday, honest guv, i just have to go a fix this problem i will be back, ok john wayne (a cowboy) 95. So I can buy cute baby and children's clothes, even if it's at a yard sale. ewwww babyclothes with who knwos what germs on them 96. I'll be able to spend eternity with my children.didnt i just answer this, what will you talk about 3 minutes after 97. Children teach me to become a servant, and that's what Jesus wants us to be. Jesus Himself said He came to serve rather than to be served. you can be my servant, with all the leftovers you can stand 98. To be convicted of sin and the need for repentance as I observe my sinful nature in my children's sinful natures. so its a sin, i dont see in the bible, oh so kids are a bribe to god or a decoy 99. The more children we have, the more we will be blessed when we are older. Instead of being lonely, we will have many children and grandchildren around to entertain us, bless us and care for us. tell that to the parents in old peoples homes 100. Raising up a godly seed is laying up treasure in heaven. i would rather have the treasure now please 101. Having children causes us to depend upon God moment by moment! good old god as drug,
all in all i like mine better, if you can find any more let me know

the other Version of the
the 101 Reasons to NOT have children:
1. God does not give blessings to people who are baby-rabid; he gives them to people who deserve them. Also, babies are not blessings - they are curses disguised as ugly beasts vaguely resembling humans.
2. Why would you want to make a creature that will cost you thousands of dollars to raise and will tell you it hates you 12 years down the road?
3. Children are a drain upon the earth, the economy, and everyone else in the world, which is why everyone on the face of the planet doesn't need to have them.
4. It's hardly exciting seeing who God will bless with an autistic child or a child with an incurable heart condition, or cancer.
5. It's an honor to have an IUD put in so I can enjoy sex more.
6. I love being "childfree" and having "freedom".
7. I am far from curious about what God will think of next. I think all freakin' babies look the same and should not be given special treatment because they are parasites who cry and shit. The most exciting thing is my life is traveling, reading a novel, composing music, or having a real sex life, so I prefer not to see or hear some little Word Deleted-demon wailing like a siren. There is nothing that moves me as much as enjoying myself in my free time.
8. I love to behold the handiwork of the Lord as I can see my flowers sprouting up every year and knowing that my little brat hellion-loaf did not yank them all up by the roots.
9. The birth of a baby will stretch out my vagina and make it loose and flappy like a parachute, making sex less appealing to both myself and my partner. Children require lots of care and attention, and they are usually what breaks the loving bond between a man and his wife (because Hubby gets emotionally divorced from wifey as soon as the loaf is hatched).
10. It's amazing to think that others will believe a woman will keep a man with her just because she gets knocked up by him.
11. God knew all my children before conception...when he made my ovaries and filled them with eggs that will never meet a sperm.
12. To choose to not have children is like saying "NO" to overpopulation, increases in taxes, global warming, and contributing another idiot to the next generation.
13. I'll have one less person to wake me up in the middle of the night as they wail and scream blue murder
14. I'll have one less burden on my shoulders.
15. I will never need to worry about contracting deadly illnesses, such as preeclampsia and toxoplasmosis, which occur only during pregnancy.
16. I feel blessed that there are birth control pills and condoms.
17. I see each child as looking no different from the next pudgy, drooling shit loaf. Each one screams incessantly and smells like shit. I can't wait to see another woman miscarry.
18. A baby in my family will drive everyone else crazy with its wailing, and then everyone will pretend to be happy and curse me out behind my back.
19. I love to see the faces of children when I tell them that Santa Claus won't be coming this year because they were bad.
20. Babies teach others so much about making people hate them, being loud, smelly, and selfish.
21. Children are selfish bastards who make you wait on them hand and foot, not leaving you a minute to try and clean the house. They make life miserable.
22. I become a better person with each child I frighten.
23. Children teach me that it's okay to want to strangle someone because they annoy me.
24. My partner thinks I'm beautiful all the time because I have not had my body ruined by pregnancy and childbirth.
25. The fewer children I have, the more sane I will be.
26. There's never someone around begging you to make them a snack and not saying "thank you", no one whining at you to be a pretty pink pony, and no one forcing you to read them the same book for the hundredth time.
27. It's much easier to cook for one than it is to cook for an entire ungrateful litter who except you to make them a meal every day.
28. Fewer (or no) children give me the opportunity to do things I want to do, when I want to do them.
29. You will never have to listen to your shit loaf screaming like a banshee as you cart it around in the grocery store.
30. The more children you have, the more you will freak the planet over by contributing to the serious problem of overpopulation.
31. I want to establish a home that I like that will keep me happy for years to come.
32. I want to raise another soul for Satan.
33. I desire to keep my checkbook and my sanity intact.
34. More (or any) children releases broken possessions, blaring television, toys strewn everywhere, and an undeniable shit smell into my home.
35. Because babies make my stomach turn when they decide to vomit or shit themselves.
36. There is nothing like making love to my partner without having to worry about waking up a brat two doors away.
37. I can't work and be a parent - I would prefer to be an office drone than have a screeching loaf vacuum-sucking my tit.
38. I prefer to fulfill life as I choose, and not have to sacrifice everything I want for a whiny brat. I would feel ashamed knowing I created one more burden to plague this planet once I perish.
39. Seventy percent of parents regret having kids.
40. Children are like parasites who will feed off me for nine months, and then force me to pay for it for 18 years, then mooch more money off me when they are too dumb to support themselves.
41. I want another cat.
42. Because I prefer to respect people who go out for a nice dinner and do not want to be serenaded by "Shit Loaf Scream - 27th Symphony".
43. I want to lessen the raping of the earth's suffering resources.
44. I relish the sounds a child makes when they scrape their knees on concrete.
45. Having children turns you into a babysitter who will never get paid or be able to let the kids go back to Mommy and Daddy at the end of the day.
46. Having no children helps me to develop other interests or pursue dreams that would have otherwise been ruined by birthing a child.
47. Children will try to barge into the bedroom when my partner and I are making violent love and demand that they sleep in our bed.
48. Parenthood would allow me to realize and see for myself how much I would want to kill the damn kid and make it look like an accident.
49. In an era where the world is run by baby-humpers, there would be no way for me to get an abortion without getting hassled about it.
50. I don't want to give my parents grandchildren because they did such a shitty job of raising me.
51. When I hear a kid whining and screaming about how they want something they cannot have, they are serving as my teacher - they teach me that having kids is a freakin' hell on earth.
52. I replenish the earth by not dropping hundreds of pounds of used diapers into landfills.
53. I want to be obedient to God's word to "Thou shalt not lie" - I hate kids.
54. I love myself, my partner, and my pets way too much to make anymore room in my heart for a kid.
55. I like to make passionate love and know I won't need to tend to a shrieking shit loaf.
56. I love not gaining seventy-five extra pounds, not throwing up every morning, and not buying myself a whole new wardrobe to accomodate my bulging gut.
57. I love the silence in my home when I want to relax, the sounds of my pets living happily without a brat pestering them, and being able to use the bathroom and not have to worry about a kid taking shots of bleach while I am away for two minutes.
58. When a child enters our home, we pretty much belt out, "Destroy all of our possessions!" - I like my home too much to allow a kid to wreck it.
59. I want to have a deeper, more passionate relationship with my partner, without a "family" (a.k.a. the blessed, innocent child) interfering.
60. The fewer children I have, the fewer instances my partner will have to pretend that he thinks I'm gorgeous with a fat pregnant belly.
61. I don't have anymore room in my car for a kid or a car seat.
62. Children are a disgusting plague upon the earth - why would I want one living in my home?
63. Real parents say that children are a huge burden and that they require effort I refuse to put forth - and I believe them.
64. Making whoopee with the one you love is one of the greatest aspects of marriage.
65. I get more than enough experience listening to some spoiled brat shrieking in the supermarket, along with the cow who is too dumb and lazy to silence them.
66. Children help me see why I don't have a daily dependence on Ritalin.
67. I love to feel food staying in my stomach, rather than it being regurgitated as the result of morning sickness.
68. Families who can get together for drinks and conversation is FUN. And I just love having fun.
69. I would prefer to not give my partner a reason to "work longer hours at their job" by having a screaming infant at home being cared for.
70. How can people understand that having a dozen kids will not guarantee that someone will take care of you when you are old and gassy?
71. More children help to make taxes go up.
72. I don't want to give myself an airtight reason to kill myself.
73. I won't have ungrateful assholes who cut off communication with me for twenty years, only to speak with me again to ask for money.
74. I was conceived out of wedlock and my parents were forced to get married.
75. I love not wasting my hard-earned money on some idiotic toy for a kid, only to have them take it for granted and toss it aside without a thank-you.
76. Hope for mankind will be expressed when abortion is made legal everywhere (and cheaper) and contraception is made easier to obtain.
77. Babies are sticky, germ-infested, and exceptionally ugly. They serve no purpose until they start paying taxes (if they ever make it that far).
78. There will be more people to go on welfare and sap up tax payers' dollars so they can go get their crack fix.
79. I want to yield my [intact] vagina as a living sacrifice to my partner when we are in the mood.
80. I prefer to spend around thirty dollars for birth control rather than nine months of suffering to try and prevent or control menses.
81. Babies remind us of how much we are hated.
82. Breeders are currently training a generation of clueless, lazy freakwits who will begin the descent of society into a bottomless abyss. I refuse to contribute my genes to the ring of idiots.
83. Younger children teach older children just how annoying having a kid around can really be, and it will [hopefully] make the older children think twice about having their own kids.
84. I fantasize about playing William Tell with some spoiled, screechy kid by drawing a picture of an apple on their forehead.
85. I love to feel my ass fit into my old jeans.
86. I would hate to stand before God on Judgment Day and tell him that I didn't want to have the kids I had, so I smothered all of them and blamed their deaths on SIDS.
87. Children have taught me that the value of my relationship will be shot all to hell if I allow some kid to come between my partner and I. They have also taught me the shallowness of breeder's beliefs.
88. I trust my tubal ligation.
89. It's nice to not walk into a room and smell shit, and then know I have to change the diaper that is filled with it.
90. Babies are the greatest blessing to others when they are aborted fetuses in a trash bin behind a clinic.
91. Parenthood is an emotional and societal prison.
92. I would be tempted to cram my baby into a dish washer.
93. I enjoy watching some real television from time to time - not Barney or Pokemon constantly.
94. I would be contributing to raging overpopulation.
95. I enjoy spending my money on things I want, rather than a pair of ridiculously-colored baby pajamas that the damn kid will outgrow in three months.
96. I'll spend my life not having to help repay my kid's college funds or bail them out of prison.
97. Children would turn me into a slave, and I live only to serve myself.
98. Sinning feels good quite often, but I would prefer to not become a grandparent to the spawn of my child's "sin".
99. The more children you have, the more chances you will have of being stuck in a nursing home and forgotten about until you die.
100. Raising up a godly seed and killing it when it gets too annoying is proof of me wanting to stay sane and have a real life.
101. Having children causes us to depend on tax payers to fund their education, when they havea good chance of dropping out and becoming useless burdens on society.

It's depressing to see that there are so few reasons to have children that don't involve "god", logic or actual thought.
Here's a challenge...think of a logical reason to have children that doesn't involve a fictional god, made up religion or shutting up nosey bingo-ers.

Yes ... you never know when you might need some bone marrow.
But personally speaking, I will ask my brother if it happens, rather than procreate.

the only reason i can see ever to have kids is if the two of you (2 men, 2 women, 1 man 1 woman etc ) are really smart, know what they are doing and aren't going to raise a brood of morons (although the 'joy' of children is their unpredictable futures) my lectureer has two, very smart interesting kids. but she should have stopped at one as the youngest is becoming more of a brat. im from a working clas family and onmy dad's side he is one of 8 children. he has 2 kids the rest...god only knows, one brother alone had about 7. plus the grandchildren that are multiplying. she has great grandchildren now. so i have promised not to increase my families dodgy genes anymore. jeez, its a good job I already have a partner, or if i went on the pull in my hometown...wow....i'd hate to think of the ammount of cousins out there. sorry for the rant guys

it seems the smarter the people the more caring we are to the environment, one of the reaons i dont want kids, is the state of the world today, adding to over 6 billion 300 million souls, just to have a dna replicant, instead of adopting if you want kids. thats the ultimate selfishness. not only do you create a kid or 2, but you create their kids and their kids, having 2 kids is not replacement level, they will have 2 kids, and so on down
1st generation 2 2nd generation 4 3rd generation 8 4th generation 16 5th generation 32 6th generation 64 7th generation 128 8th generation 256 9th generation 512 10th generation 1024
if everyone had 2 kids, and they all lived or if one died so you replaced it. you personally are responsible for 1024 descendants, from your 2 kids.. 64 generations along you have trilions of descendants, this is just a couple. imagine 6 billion thats 3 billion couples breed 2 kids, thats 12 billion straight away, then 24 billion, 48 billion.. and so on..
you get to some really silly numbers, so we are not creating trillions of kids, by not breeding kids now.

Mercurior, i totally agree. but, i dont want to sound awful, but why is it always the dumb people who breed? the people who say its good for their kids to smash up cars, kill pet cats, etc. why are the nice parents in the minority? i really dont understand. it's like if you get a hamster from a pet shop and you find out shes pregnant. the critters reproduce til you buy more cages, soon you run out of money and space. the earth is just a magnified version of that. although i do not want kids, i think i would do a better job at raising them than the morons who let them run havoc or neglect them

the morons that breed dont think, they think there is infinite room, to expand, and or god will provide, they dont realise that we are using the world up, they have been indoctrinated into thinking, i am man master of my domain.. and your not awful, we say this a lot on this board and the links below, and other pages..
they cannot or will not think beyond their own desires, their own dna replicants. and they call us selfish.
we the smarter realise that the world isnt infinite, that we have to care for this planet as its the only one we got. we care more, than they do. what a world.. at least we wont see our kids starve or die with new diseases..
btw Nowomb4kids,.you are more than welcome to join this board as a member, there are other areas where you can post, some are members only, this is a good group of people we have here.. no rules just play nice, other than that..we dont care

The only reasons I can think of for breeders to have children that do not involve imaginary gods and religion is the parents either want some free labor from the little slaves (think about the Duggars), or they just need a person handy to take out their emotions on (beat the kid, verbally abuse them, starve them...whatever is needed to relieve anger, frustration, or sadistic tension). Neither are good reasons, but then again there are no good reasons to have children anyway.

someone else has done another reply.
1. We love receiving gifts and blessings from God. -We can always use more stuff. Babies equal baby showers, tax credits and deductions, etc.
2. Why would I ever want to turn down one of God's blessings? -God helps those that help themselves, lady. Help yourself to some Orthotricyclen.
3. We not only want to receive gifts from God for ourselves, but we want to give more gifts to the world. Every God gives us is a gift to the world. -Fine and dandy, just keep your “gifts” out of my resturaunts after 8:00 pm (“my” resturaunts are all the ones w/o a playground), out of my workplace (this is why we have child labor laws, and if you have this many babies, what are you doing working in the first place), out of my bars (please, we wouldn’t want the precious gifts to get lung cancer, stunted growth, or fetal alcohol syndrome), and my stores. There are stores for your “gifts” called Toys-R-Us, Kay-Bee, and other such grammatic/spelling nightmares. If the name of the store is spelled correctly or is printed in subdued tones, go elsewhere.
4. It's so exciting to see who God will send to bless us each time. -If this is what you want, put a sign outside that says homeless people housed and fed, one at a time, one night free. By your description, it’ll be like having a new baby everyday.
5. It's an honor for the Lord to use my womb again. -The Lord may have used Mary’s womb but he’s not using yours unless he’s intentionally knocked you up with the Antichrist (which I’d believe the way most of you yahoos allow your children to behave) just so Jesus will have someone’s ass to kick when he comes back.
6. I love being "with child." -Everyone pay attention to this one. This is the only time you’ll hear a woman say anything that resembles “I love being immensely fat with swollen breasts and a 10 pound animal in my midsection which is constantly trying to beat, scrape, or otherwise claw it’s way free."
7. I love to see what God thinks of next. I believe each child is a precious and unique thought, with vast possibilities, straight from our Heavenly Father. It's the most exciting thing in my entire life to give birth and see the new little person. There is nothing that moves me as much as seeing the birth of a baby. -Seeing the birth of a baby would probably move me, too. First to the nearest toilet so I could vomit, and then to the nearest bar so I could drink myself silly and forget the sight of an engorged, stretched vagina spewing placenta! GROSS! Honestly lady, you shouldn’t view this. That’s why God, who’s so smart-as you’ve mentioned-put your head on the other end.
8. I love to behold the handiwork of the Lord as a new little miracle comes forth. -Plant flowers, it’s cheaper with exactly the same “little miracle coming forth” effect sans all the diapers, sleepless nights, etc.
9. The birth of a baby is the ultimate fulfillment of love between a husband and wife. Each child is an unbreakable bond between a father and mother. -Ah, the old “we’re having a baby to help keep the marriage together” line. Please, people, think. If your relationship is already rocky, why add undue stress? The victim here is the child, because the relationship will only get worse and this child becomes a child from a “broken home.” If the relationship’s good, why rock the boat?
10. It is amazing to think that each child is a part of me and my beloved husband. -Your children must be very small, still. They’re no more a part of you than a Barbie is part of a horse because they share some hair. When they’re older, you’ll realize what an individual really is and how much that sucks.
11. God said to Jeremiah, "BEFORE I formed you in the womb I knew you..." God is the One who will form my future children. If He knew Jeremiah before conception, then He knows all my children before conception, yes, even the children who haven't yet been formed. I don't want to refuse children God has chosen. -Wow, now you’re ranking your kids up with one of the major prophets. Doesn’t that strike you as a bit arrogant? How do you know God wasn’t saying, “I picked you specifically out of all the baking primordial ooze in the Hebrew camp because your mom ditched on her tithe, so I selected you to bear the brunt of my bad mood by spending a life being persecuted, living alone in the desert and scaring the bejezus out of you by 'talking' to you all the time. I love to watch you jump when I do that. Hahahaha!"
12. I'd love another baby because to choose not to is like saying NO to God. I want to say YES to God and His will for my life. -See #2
13. I'll have more people to love. -If you’re running low, try the local homeless shelter or animal shelter, or perhaps make some friends your own age.
14. I'll have more hands to help. - No, you’ll have more dirty little hands to clean up after.
15. I'll have more babies to nurse and therefore less risk of breast cancer. -If God chooses to give you breast cancer, who are you to refuse?!!!
16. I feel so blessed that God wants to reward us again. -That’s not a reward, lady! He’s not rewarding you! He’s punishing you for continually professing to know His Will all the time.
17. I look upon each child as an incredibly beautiful jewel. Each one takes on a different loveliness and I can't wait to see the next jewel arrive. -Try the Homeshopping Network, cheaper, just as gaudy and ugly, and takes less time and pain to arrive.
18. Another baby in the family makes my other children so happy. -“Yes! Another one she’ll have to fuss over and watch 24 hrs a day. The gaps in the fence grow wider, and soon we’ll be free from the yoke of her tyranny. She’ll be too distracted to ever keep an eye on any of us.”
19. I love to see the faces of my children as they see a new brother or sister for the first time. -See above, that glee is that you’ll be busy elsewhere.
20. Babies teach the older children so much about caring for little ones, being kind, protective, and unselfish. -I’ll say it once, but I’ll speak up. CHILDREN CANNOT BE SELFLESS (the correct word for unselfish)!!! IT IS AGAINST THEIR ENTIRE STATE OF BEING. THEY ARE NEEDY BY DESIGN. WHEN THEY CEASE TO BE NEEDY AT ALL TIMES IT IS BECAUSE THEY ARE OLD ENOUGH TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR OWN NEEDS. THAT MAKES THEM ADULTS!
21. Children brighten up the home. They make life interesting. -Yes, children do brighten up the home, with catsup on the walls, Kool Aid on the carpet, etc. And if that’s the kind of “interesting” you’re looking for, check the local yellow pages for the nearest AIDS hospice where you can volunteer.
22. I become a better mother with each child I have. -So all the prior ones were/are/will be just practice sessions until you have that perfect one. That’s nice. Have you told your other children this? “Johnny, mommy is sorry she was such a shitty mom when you were little and always forgot to feed you and dropped you on your head so many times, but she was a new bumpkin and didn’t know what she was doing. Don’t worry, the baby we have about the time you’re old enough to graduate the high school Special Ed program and move out to the home will be raised with genuine skill, honed over the course of your miserable existance.”
23. Children teach me patience. -Apparently not, you can’t seem to wait to have another.
24. My children think I'm beautiful no matter how I look. -Riiiiight. Just wait until they want something you refuse to give. See what they tell you about your bedraggled, bathrobe at 3:00 pm wearing, swollen ankle bloated image then.
25. The more children we have, the more they entertain one another. -Oddly enough, I find that the reverse is true. I keep absolutely no children in my house and they never make a sound. They’re raising themselves much better than I could.
26. There's always someone around to visit with, play with, pray with, or read to. -Volunteer time!!!! Dammit!! The world is full of lonely people who want exactly this. Why bring more in?
27. It's just as easy to cook for ten as it is for one! -*cough* Bullshit!*cough*
28. More children give us the opportunity to have our faith increased as we see God meet our daily needs. -Or perhaps having more children gives you more opportunity to try God’s patience as your “daily needs” are continually increasing because you won’t keep your fucking legs closed!
29. You have your own cheering squad in whatever you do. -Yeh, I bet they cheer you on when you’re cooking food they don’t like, making them help clean the house, do their homework, go to bed, etc. I can hear it now… “RA! RA! RA! WE LOVE MA! SHE MAKES US CLEAN! SHE MAKES US WORK! SHE MAKES LIFE SUCK BUT SHE’S NO JERK! GOOOOOOOO MA!” Could you send me a tape of that?
30. The more children we have, the more impact we have upon the world. -Yes, and the genes that produce this kind of uneducated, post-modern religio-psycho-drivel is exactly what the world needs to be impacted with. Thank you.
31. We want to establish a godly dynasty that will continue down the generations to come. -So did Emperor Nero. See a book on Roman history for all the lovely details.
32. We want to raise another soul for Jesus. -Ah, here’s either a wonderful example of counterlogic, or plain blasphemy. Either you’re a free-will theist, but you for some reason believe that your child will choose to seek God when in the very next listed reason you will call the world evil (which I assume you blame on the fact that most people choose not to seek God) or you’re a predestinarian, and are assuming that it’s God’s Will that this child be a believer. Need I remind you that presuming on God’s Will is blasphemous and just plain dumb?
33. We desire to raise up a standard for God in this evil day. -Screaming, ill-behaved children are a standard for God? Is it any wonder that the intellectual elite of this world are choosing not to "follow God?"
34. More children releases more of Christ in our home. -Are you keeping him there in a lamp you found on the beach? Doesn’t that strike you as selfish?
35. Because babies are the most irresistible things on earth. -Speak for yourself. Most heterosexual men, if honest, would tell you that available sex is the most irresistable thing in the world. Personally, both I and my wife find children to be incredibly resistable and detest the thought of ever having any show up and ruin our happy life.
36. There is nothing like a new baby in the house. -Nope, nothing else keeps you up that long, causes your nipples to bleed and scab, bedraggles you or brings on post-partum depression quite like a new baby.
37. There is no occupation more rewarding than motherhood. -Again, speak for yourself. I figure international superspy easily ranks up there as more rewarding, right up there with janitor (who cleans up stuff that you and your sprogs dirty so that civilized people can use them in comfort).
38. Because I am fulfilling the only career that is eternal! Every other career will be left behind when we leave this earth, but I can take my children with me into glory. My children are eternal souls who will live for ever. -I grow ever more convinced that this woman is in need of psychological counseling. Most of us dream of retiring early, but she wants to work until death and keep doing it until eternity. Most parents I know lament the years between now and when their kids go off to college but she seems to want them to remain helpless and without self-sufficiency for all of time.
39. Parenthood is investing in eternity. - I won’t argue here. The remainder of your lifetime will be spent in worry over their behavior and flaws, the strain of limited funding versus the endless cost, heartache over the paths they take in life, and, if this woman’s faith is correct, probably an eternity of not enjoying heaven quite as much because your kids grew up and didn’t hold faith, and are now suffering an eternity of fiery damnation. Lovely way to pass the sideways eight.
40. Children are like arrows which we send to places where we will never be able to go. -I had babies, and consequently have done nothing productive or otherwise meaningful with my life and hope for better results for my children, that I might live vicariously through them. They will, however, choose different paths than I would have, which will disgruntle me, so when they are adults I will press them to limit their lives with their own children so I don’t feel alone in my uselessness and misery.
41. We want to fill our quiver. -Uh, ma’am, despite the immense testosterone release that accompanies the birth of a child, I doubt seriously that it will aid your husband in filling your “quiver” more than he already does. In fact, due to the stretching in certain areas of the body involved in childbirth, it will probably make things worse, not better. Oh! You were making an extended metaphor with #40. My bad.
42. Because of the people who might be reached for Christ through this child. -Again with the presumption that your child will be some sort of evangalist. If you go on at home like you do here, it won’t surprise me in the least when your child grows up and becomes a positive aetheist, just so he can go throughout life without having to hear this kind of shit. On the other hand, maybe you’re right, he will grow up and do that, so that the rest of us have to hear this shit.
43. I want to increase the 'salt' and 'light' proportion in the world! -Well having children is the wrong way to go, we need less consumers of salt to increase salt. That means less people. As for increasing the light proportion, if you people would stop breeding so many other people who will go out and pollute the air, the light proportion would probably increase dramatically.
44. We're forming our own orchestra to make music to the Lord. -Why wait around for the kids to grow up and become coordinated enough to play an instrument? There are plenty of trained musicians in the world, and I’m sure some of them are believers, too. By the way, do you know how many people comprise an orchestra? You’re going to need to buy a hotel to live in if you have that many kids.
45. Having and raising children aids in sanctification of us parents. -Where is that passage? In all of Romans, where Paul speaks of sanctification, I don’t once recall him saying that children were the path to sanctification? By that logic, are people who are unable to bear children condemned to damnation because they cannot be sanctified?
46. Having children helps to develop in us the godly character of servanthood. -So does charity work, meditation, and prayer. Pick one of those, they produce more good, less pollutants, and irritate the rest of us less.
47. My children help me surrender the selfish desires of my flesh. -I’m sure your husband is just thrilled to hear it. No wonder he goes along with this foolishness. It’s probably the only time he gets some.
48. Parenthood allows us to experience the kind of love our Heavenly Father has for us. -You’re children don’t love you the way God loves you! You’re children, in fact, are incapable of real love because love is the ability and desire to make sacrifices for someone else. Children, being creatures of base need, are incapable of such emotion. If you are saying you love your children as God loves you, I’m hard pressed to believe it the way some of you people constantly ignore your children and complain about them. It’d be a sad day for the faithful everywhere to discover that God’s love for us amounted to the way you people treat your kids.
49. In an era when so many individuals condone the denial, or taking of life - we want to give life - for life is sacred. -If you’re concerned with the taking of life, make death less valuable. Produce less people so there will be enough of everything to go around. The dead don’t consume resources, so if you kill someone, that’s more stuff for everyone else, including you. If there were just enough people that we weren’t using up resources faster than they recycle and can be produced, there wouldn’t be a need for so much killing.
50. We don't want to deprive our parents of their "crowning glory" (Proverbs 17:6). We want to bless them with grandchildren. -I imagine they can wait for their “crowning glory” until they get to Heaven. Please, don’t quote quips from Scripture. Include the whole scripture or provide your own logic instead of picking out a few words from a respected source to uphold your outlandish opinions.
