    "Why don't you want kids?"

    I'm fed up of kids asking-or more to the point getting away with-questions that are inappropriate, personal or just downright rude, on the pretext that 'they're just a kid' or 'aww, isn't she cute asking that/it's just kiddy curiosity' and all the other pathetic excuses constantly trotted out...

    Anglican Church says overpopulation may break 8th commandment

    Perhaps I wouldn't describe it as stealing exactly, but I 100% agree with the reasoning behind it. I'm with Rebekka-overpopulation and good stewardship don't go together. Let's say for argument's sake that a man and woman are biologically capable of successfully conceiving and giving birth to 50...

    Anglican Church says overpopulation may break 8th commandment

    This was published last year but I just stumbled across it. However still valid I think-and correct! In a bold move for a Christian church, Australia's Anglican Church has linked overpopulation to the eighth commandment given to Moses on Mount Sinai: 'Thou shall not steal', according to The...

    Go forth and multiply?

    Tell me about it. And I swear (or it seems) women are treated more like something that's just crawled out underneath a rock when they express this view, more than men. Or the false assumption that if you don't want kids you don't want to get married. Marriage and kids are 2 completely different...

    Go forth and multiply?

    have you ever listened to a woman talk all day long about potty training-Lord deliver me from these women-selah. God yes! Or about their first step or tooth or word....borrrring! Unfortunately it's come to the point where everyone around me is embarking on pro-creation. Fine, but to be brutally...

    Go forth and multiply?

    Oh my gosh, Hitler was a vegetarian??? Ugh, that's practically enough to make me go back to carnivore.

    Go forth and multiply?

    Abrickrock-so, so true, couldn't agree more, although I find that attitude exists in the secular world too! When I was at an anti-fur demonstration not too long ago, I was actually accused of wasting time and being selfish for campaigning against this, as I should have been spending that time...

    Go forth and multiply?

    Audiomechanic-I respect your honesty-I think many meat eaters also feel the same way, that although they love to eat their meat, that doesn't automatically mean they approve of all the unnecessary actions that accompany the slaughter-ie the cruelty of tormenting and torturing the animals as we...

    Go forth and multiply?

    Doh! I didn't realise the replies had run onto 3 pages, so am alternating between being thrilled and cringing to have missed seeing more posts! Rebekka-thank you so much for your thoughts on factory farming-I am a committed veggie, and to that end I do my fair share of 'stand up for animals'...

    Go forth and multiply?

    Hi everyone, thanks for your words of encouragement and support. It' easy to feel like a deviant when you express these kind of opinions to the baby-obssessed. I want to rush back and put the verse in context for her now, but I know she would still argue about it and insist that God wants us all...

    Go forth and multiply?

    Hi. Erm...I'm not married and I'm not a Christian. But I am childfree by choice. I'm hoping 1 out of 3 will let me post here! Despite not qualifying for the first 2 elements, I am very pro-marriage and Christian-friendly. Most of my friends are practicing Christians and that kind of brings me...

    Marriage

    how lovely. I would love to be married. I know it's hard work and time and effort, but I think it would be worth it all to share your life with someone, as the vows say, in sickness and in health, rich times and poor, good times and bad. And I love romance!

    What's on your mind?

    I miss my lovely ex-boyfriend.He lives abroad. We are back to being best friends now. He was my first ever boyfriend and is such a kind, considerate gentleman. It was very very easy to fall in love with him. He is a wonderful man and I think of him often.

    Loud noise phobia

    I completely understand where you are ALL coming from. In particular, Lost Squirrel-I have to be the one making the noise for it to not bother me, that way I don't really 'hear' it. I get startled very quickly, especially when I'm not expecting the sound-eg phone suddenly ringing. But of the...
