Most of the time I can read RR or some quotes off the front page without being phased. I can laugh, or just shake my head. On rare occasions a quote will irritate or even anger me.
But tonight, I cried. Just the sheer fact that people who think like this are out there was enough to hit me just right. This isn't anything new to me, it's just that I've never seen anyone who genuinely feels this way put it so bluntly. I didn't bawl, but a few tears were shed. The ignorance, the irresponsibility, the complete lack of empathy for present and future lives. It's just too heavy.
"I guess the bottom line is GOD IS IN CONTROL. There is not one baby that comes into the world that God did not give to us. Whether or not we have the resources is not the point. If we seek God's will for our lives, He will take care of us, PERIOD. Doesn't matter if we have one or twenty kids. He will provide. I don't worry about the world anymore because it's out of my control. Even conceiving children is out of my control. Thank the Lord I'm not in control of these things. Praise God."

Having knowledge, having responsibility and accepting others is just too hard for those little fundie brains to handle.

When Jesus comes back and sees how badly we've fucked up the planet, he's going to be so pissed off. I'm not even kidding.

This is what gets me though. If God is in total control then none of us have free will so in effect God would be punishing people for committing acts he forced them to commit.

Which is compounded by the fact that we are sinners just for the simple fact that we exist.
Add to that, we are still be held to task because of the mistakes that our mythological great grand father and mother made by adding an extra fruit to their diet.

That's right, who cares if you can support your kids. If you can't, god will provide somehow. Talk about being irresponsible.

Someone should convince them that God will catch them if they jump off a cliff. It'll all work out for the best, but not in the way that the fundies think  |

What the...! I wish sometimes people needed licenses to breed. I wish it wasn't so easy for people to get preggers. Ironbite-like...special chemicals or herbs to get our mojo going...otherwise it's just exercise. |
