Well, there's a solution for that, but you were complaining about abortion too, so I don't know what you want. There's just no pleasing some people.
I can demonstrate destruction and death are...
So abortion is the moral alternative to illegitimate birth?
You could also encourage more homosexual sex, so you don't have to worry about children at all. But you seemed to be also complaining about that, so... see my previous point re. no pleasing some people.

You're shoveling against the tide here.
But there is no point in using "illegitimate" to describe a birth. Right?
Male partners tend to adopt....which reduces abortions.You could also encourage more homosexual sex, so you don't have to worry about children at all. But you seemed to be also complaining about that, so... see my previous point re. no pleasing some people.

Female partners can have babies just like any females who get fertility assistance.
(About 12% get assistance)
Progress!
Oh man, I hope those ladies got married first!
Not as a hard rule. But there is no point in using "illegitimate" to describe a birth. Right?
I didn't say that was good, or certainly not absolutely good, but you're also selectively picking something that has particular implications rather than considering death and life as not diametrically opposed axiomaticallyThink I'll consider the death of people/pets I know and love, a bad thing, you can call it good for whatever reason you like.
Your ability to protest has value. This undermines your argument.
Unless you insist it has no value?
Truth is not merely what you find compelling, however convinced you are, it's often against mere sentimentality and pathos that motivates superstitious and religious thought like God existing and loving youOverthinking makes me suspicious.
It's often a way to reach a preferred end over a truethful one.
That's a non sequitur, that has nothing to do with the argument ...
Yeah, it's easy to hyperbolize and exaggerate the impact of things you find personally wrong and make ridiculous correlations between things that aren't necessarily causatively connected beyond incidental inferences.Sexual immorality in general and homosexuality specifically have always been prohibited. How many abortions are we up to now? How many illegitimate children are public wards with no fathers? How many dead from AIDS?
If God exists, it doesn't follow that God is good, that's equivocating and tautological thinking, already assuming too many things about an entity that's unfalsifiable by nature and relies on faith for any "knowledge" about itI think the liberal Christian perspective is more coherent, and doesn't reject humanistic learning- if God exists and is good, then we can use our rational minds to understand God's will viz a viz goodness, apart from religious authority. It's the fundamentalist Christians, Muslims, and Jews that Euthyphro skewers.
That's tangential to other claims that are not nearly as demonstrable, nor is your hypothetical solution going to help them, because they're apparently just lose causes that you can't help and should focus purely on all the mere possible "children" you can save by illegalizing abortion or suchSo does that mean we don't have a whole boatload of illegitimate kids?

Sexual immorality has not been defined universally, neither has homosexuality even been a concept until the 1940s, before that sexuality was understood more in terms of behavior than orientation and will in regards to attraction and choices related to it.
Abortions wouldn't be a problem if certain groups weren't so fixated on sexual immorality to the point that they spread misinformation about sex in the first place that creates ignorance on proper birth control, etc.
HIV and AIDS are distinct things, first off and the contraction of HIV is not purely sexual in nature, to reduce it to some ridiculous idea that only gay people get it or that they're the primary people associated with it is myopic
Creation is not the sole aspect of existence, you're oversimplifying metaphysics to fit your preconception and unjustified assertion that death and destruction are ultimately bad without actually stepping back and looking critically at the absolutist claim involved. And the fact that I exist is not a support for creation being absolutely good, you're focusing on the epistemological aspect and not recognizing what we're discussing, which is ontology and how it interacts with morality.Again, your analysis has value or no? Which is it?
If ya's analysis has value, then good/creation wins!
You keep claiming that you have a valid point.
No creation = no claims.
If God exists, it doesn't follow that God is good, that's equivocating and tautological thinking, already assuming too many things about an entity that's unfalsifiable by nature and relies on faith for any "knowledge" about it
