>>But what is the advantage

Having the self-respect for not being a self-loathing lap poodle like you for one thing.

Enjoying the process of having children who grow into responsible and self-reliant adults for another.

>>to working your life away to pay for a house full of luxuries for a woman and children?

That’s your view of what raising a family means; and that’s pathetic.

Does your wife/family know you hold them in such low regard? The thought of them dining on your feast of “Information Age” vomit is obviously gut wrenching for you!

Well anyhow — Don’t forget to bark (in Mandarin / Russian / Farsi / Spanish) and dance appropriately when, in the context of demographic failure, the new owners of your “culture” knit you a sweater and feed you treats derived from your own castration.

Thank you for making my point. You have kids to justify your own existence. It’s not for society or to create some future greatness. You have kids hoping that they aren’t just a consumer of food and air like you were.

But if a person does not feel that need, then people like you shouldn’t try to shame them into procreating just to make your life decision seem worthwhile.

“I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I travelled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.” ― Benjamin Franklin, 1766

When it's easy to survive without working, why bother?

Intellectuals, even. Morons, the lot of them.

Intellectuals = people who can't really DO things.

...they are content to live off of the rest of us and steal benefits from those who are truly disabled.

Those on disability should be monitored for fraud, which may be endemic. But that raises a problem; you'd need a flock of new government workers to do the monitoring, or you'd have to create a "rat out the fraud" attitude in the rest of us.

Why bother with the challenge of climbing mountains, reaching out to explore new worlds, and engineering the ability to do those things?

Multiple generations of FAIL have forgotten why - but not everyone.

Or bother hitting the basketball court competing with those 30-40-50 year old kids like I did this morning? I was only pointing out a prevalent attitude among a certain class of people, the moochers. Make work easier than mooching and they'll come around!

“Easy” is using a step ladder instead of mastering yourself, and the crux problem.

>>Oh, my daily aspirin is adequate for dealing with rainbow rejects like you.

Just because you are unmedicated doesn’t mean that you don’t need some meds. Look at how crazy you get because someone does not share your exact values. I’m not advocating looting or killing or vandalizing. I’m just saying that I understand why young men aren’t marrying and having children. But, in your fevered imagination, that is a declaration of war against everything that is good and decent. You pretend to be a Christian, but you have no sense of Christian freedom or Christian charity. You twist your faith into a pretzel by trying to form Christianity into a series of obligations.

And now you take it another level of Christian hypocrisy by insinuating that I’m gay? I’ll start to address that by saying FU, but will also point out that I’ve been married for 35 years and that my wife had 5 miscarriages trying to produce those babies that you insist are necessary. So, FU again you insensitive hypocrite. You are a disgrace to your religion and a waste of oxygen.

Luke 17:1-4

17 Jesus said to his disciples: "Things that cause people to sin are bound to come, but woe to that person through whom they come. 2 It would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around his neck than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin. 3 So watch yourselves.

"If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. 4 If he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times comes back to you and says, 'I repent,' forgive him."
NIV

What do the words "rebuke" and "repent" mean in this week's edition of the Bryanw92 Rainbow NewSpeak dictionary?

You’re right. It was the work of your God that killed those 5 babies. Not abortions. Not anything we did. All on him. So, that must have been His Plan, right? So, I am just doing what He wills. Maybe he wanted me to be an evangelist for the childless movement because Africa and Asia are making more babies and they are becoming much better Christians than the likes of people like you.

What do they mean in your Angry Old Woman dictionary? Is being childless a sin? In your sick, angry mind, so you feel an actual need to rebuke people for not procreating?

Didn't say it was.

Rom 1:24-29
25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator — who is forever praised. Amen.
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
28 Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done....
NIV

Your spewage is consistent with the Rainbow perversion that abominates the forgiveness into permission.

2 Peter 2:22

Bon Appetite.
