a screaming infant that knows only the need to suck
This is one of the "nasty" generalizations I speak of. If this is what an infant "only knows" then why would anybody want to have children?
As to her relationship with God, without creating another 15,000 plus thread, her comments speak for themselves.

I guess that's nasty. But it's my image of infants. When I think of infants the first two things that come to mind is screaming and dirty diapers. To me this is just one of the clear cut indicators that some people shouldn't have kids. Apparently you think of nice things when free associating the word "infant", people like Rachel and I don't. You pick any stage in the life cycle of a child and the first things that will come to my mind are negative; I'm sure I could come up with a host of positive things too (ever actually tried), but the first thing I think of with kids is always negative. So to me that's not nasty it's honest. You can't really expect some one writing an article about why they're not having kids to refer to them as "bundles of joy" can you?

You might see fit to interpret her relationship with God from the article, but unless you show me something she wrote that directly discusses it I won't. That's just how I am.
