I am with you fren. Lots of people do not want to do the heavy lifting in research and soul searching necessary. I told my wife this the other day and posted it here too

Jesus broke the covenant, reduced the commandments to two, and told the entire church at the time they were wrong about everything

But he never corrected them on infanticide (abortion today is nothing compared to how brutal it was then) and there are hundreds of thousands of infants in tombs in Israel today

I believe this is because the views talmud and quran have on ensoulment are most likely accurate and Christ wasn't going to force a persecuted, starving people to have less agency over their offspring than animals

So the MOAR BABIEZ view here is absolutely mind boggling. It isn't affluent, high IQ parents reproducing en masse, it is nothing but lower domain stock. I have been accused of being Margaret Sanger here, just because I think kids deserve better. They all won't be Ben Carson, and you can't play with people's lives and the state of the world over a gamble shitty parents might put out a 1/1000000 prodigy just to appease your own religious piety

If my wife and I have children one day it will be a conscious, willing decision that is 100% existentially sound. Not just because it is what good, republican white people "should do" or because hormones made us too horny to think "hey, maybe we should wait til the plan is well underway" or "this just you and me thing is pretty wonderful"
