what if we don't believe in god ?
what if God is not the God, but far from the original concept ?
Most need a reason to do what they do. Why are we here? Whats our purpose?
A single word/name provides a comforting answer (God), by believing in something that we have never seen or heard, a great "magician" a "wizard of oz" that has some great "plan" and can never disappoint, we can answer all these unknowns with one word, without requiring any understanding or logical reason. Sadly this does not work well, as people then choose to follow blindly and there are many out there that exploit this for their own gain.
There may or may not be a God, he/she may be good or evil. I simply reached a point where I need conclusive proof he/she exists and if he/she is that great then he/she knows this and I will not need to explain myself at the pearly white gates in the end for he/she surely in all his/her greatness already knows my answers.
so you saying just **** to procreate. that's irresponsible without properly thinking about it before hand as we have enough problems with people who get children who shouldn't have, because they couldn't afford them.
Sadly yes, irresponsible yes, we're doing it "like they do on the Discovery Channel", we're just animals programmed to survive.
Knowledge is truly the greatest weapon, it's what divides us from the animal kingdom, educate the masses and we will divide the beast from the human. Educated people are less likely to go around procreating irresponsibly knowing/understanding what the consequences are.
talking stage magic here ?
Not really, people need magic in their lives, a little hope, that the guy will rush up in the last second to the airplane terminal and swoop the lonely girl off her feet.
The belief that God exists brings hope and strength to millions/billions. Believing that all this heartache and pain is not for nothing, that in the end God waits for us in ever lasting peace and happiness. I've seen (maybe you have as well) what this belief can do when used for "good", sadly it makes for an even better weapon.
They say the Devil's greatest trick was convincing the world he doesn't exist, I tell you man's greatest trick was convincing you God does.
I fully support and believe that:
Responsible adults should be allowed to have kids and women should be allowed not to have a child.
The right to have kids should be removed from anyone that mentally or physically harms a child.
The right to have kids should be removed from anyone unable to provide basic needs to a child like food, water, shelter, love... give them what the need but NOT always what they want!
Every child deserves a fighting chance (In the past hunting and bush survival skills is what we needed to survive the jungle) today it's education, tertiary education is needed to survive in this concrete jungle.
Kids should be planned, like building a house, its a 18-22 year plan. Large families are fine as long as you can provide for all but remember you may think you do but mostly parents never love all their kids equally.
Having kids will always be a selfish act, please don't be selfish when growing them up!
And remember, play safe if you not ready!
