Sounds like he just wants the rest of the world to be unhappy, too!

Can't argue with the Bible.. it's a different thing if you can't have children, can't afford them because it's early on in the marriage or if one or both parties realize they are big huge screwups and shouldn't ever have children.

Does this count as a fatwa?
To: BibChr
Someone once ask the question:
"Is birth control a form of a abortion"?

Ok, call me a SINNER.
I was married for 10 years and it just didn't happen!
But I will say this, single and childess white males get no special treatment as far as taxes are concerned. As a matter of fact we get punished for not having children and not being married.
Is this a great country or what? I mean what's left of it.

People that dont have kids end up being the ones that yell at a kid and take his/her football away if it rolls into their yard.
Older couples without kids have always seemed bitter to me.
To: BibChr
Wondering if the media simply took his comments out of context. This being Sanctity of Human Life month to the SBC, I'm sure his comments were meant in the light of birth control or something like that.
The headline is also misleading - Mohler is speaking of people voluntarily avoiding having children, whereas the headline makes you think it encompasses barren people as well.
Bottom line though, Mohler's comments (as reported) don't consider God's Sovereignty. Namely, if He means for you to have a child, no amount of condoms or pills will stop it.

.......the Baptist leader added, We grow up by having children. Without that responsibility, we have a generation of perpetual adolescents just growing old." There is a certain amount of truth in that statement.

Think about it. Married couples that decide to not have children are performing the ultimate selfish act: not having children because they don't fit in your plans and ambitions or will take up too much resources. A childless couple in their 70's and 80's is a sad thing. My next door neighbors were never able to have children and I believe that it bothered her until they day she died.

I didn't marry til age 44, and my husband has 2 grown kids and a vasectomy. Wonder what the good theologian would say about us?
