Isn't the fact that you can't reproduce a good enough sign that God doesn't want children in your house AT ALL? Why would you adopt a child to raise when your own decision making skills are so defunct?

Damn. Paschal beat me to it.
Guess I'll just have to mock the other obvious part.
"Why would you adopt a child to raise when your own decision making skills are so defunct? "
...says the person who "decided" (entirely their own, I'm sure) to believe in ludicrous fairy-tales.
First of all, I'll agree with Paschal. "Gayists"?! Is everything that is worldly yet not understandable to you fundies a religion nowadays? First evolution, now homosexuality?
(Well, to play devil's advocate for a moment, the Wiccan religion does teach that the Goddess says that "all acts of love and pleasure are My rituals", but the likelihood of a dyed-in-the-wool fundie actually knowing that would require more zeroes after the decimal point than this web-page could handle in one post.)
Also, what's with the comment about decision-making skills? Must we who enjoy thinking for yourselves tell you yet again, for the 6 kazillionth time (assuming that comment means what I'm guessing it does) that being attracted sexually and/or romantically to one's own gender is NOT a choice?? Yes, I suppose we do.

No, I think god striking your ass down with a lightning bolt is a good sign he doesn't want children in your house at all. Odd that an omnipotent being needs some lame-ass fundy on a message board to explain his will when he has the power to make it crystal clear without breaking a sweat.

Oh, that question was about homosexuals?
Eh. My answer still applies.
People who beat, burn, rape and murder children have kids all the time, unfortunately.
And people who are kind, gentle and nuturing frequently are sterile.
Your God either hasn't got a fucking clue, or is a sadistic bastard.
They can't remain consistent from one position to the next. As someone else pointed out, these are the same dimbulbs who say, "Don't abort, let someone adopt your baby."

Thousands of children are homeless and without families.
There are 7 billion people on this plant. We can afford to slow down a little.

Why would you try to raise a child when you're so stupid? Gayist sounds like a word a 6 year old would make up.
If your God didn't want gay couples to adopt, he'd get off his holy ass and do something about it. Since he hasn't, shut up and pray for something worthwhile, like a functioning conscience.
And if "gayist" is someone who believes in equal rights for gay people (like "evolutionists" believe in evolution) then I'm a gayist.
first, tell that to the people who are sterile. or who are old. or who've had their junk blown off fighting in a war you yourselves claim to be 'God's work'.
second, GAYISTS? where the fuck did you pull that word out of?
Yeah, and leave those stupid kids, who chose to be born without parents, to rot in their orphanages.
So, the fact that kids are orphaned is a sign that God doesn't want them taken care of AT ALL? Maybe God is giving a sign that he want (relatively) rich people in the Western World to take care of poor children from third-world countries.
My dad's cousin adopted a girl from Colombia. A few years later (after many operations and IVF trials) they managed to give birth to a boy. Guess God was a bit indecisive as to what he wanted for them... The girl is now a woman, a lovely, intelligent and confident woman. If her parents had not adopted her, she might have starved to death, or become a victim to all the drugs and drug-related violence that run rampant in Colombia.
Who do you think you are to speak for your so-called "god"? By the way, unless your willing to provide a good home for every orphan in the world then you can shut the fuck up about gay people adopting. You should be happy those children are getting cared fr, but no, if it's not by a person whose views you agree with then they can just suffer! Seriously, fuck you, and everyone like you.
Maybe because there are still children that need a home. Maybe even because there are children whose heterosexual parents couldn't or wouldn't take care of them, and maybe because there are children whose Christian parents abused them.
If someone else is willing to do the hard job of raising children because YOU didn't step up to the plate, don't you think they deserve a little gratitude?
In all fairness, the world is overpopulated.
I wouldn't object to reproductive rights being replaced with reproductive licenses. Max. 1 kids for the next 50 years, 1-2 after 50 years. Only people with at least an IQ of 115.
The biggest hurdle of course would be getting less advanced countries to comply. It's not effective if only 3-4 countries comply while most don't. This could be achieved with a global federal government, but there is much stupidity there as well, it would be need to be run by scientists, not career politicians. Only smart scientifically calculated people can micro-manage something this large. Democracy is outdated though. Give the scientists a chance to lead you.
And the fact that children are born to useless parents or to parents that die shortly after the birth, is a good enough sign that God wants those children to live in the street and support themselves through prostitution and petty crime?
I'd say the "gayists" decision-making skills are perfectly fine and compassionate, and far, far above those of that god of yours.
His skills are either defunct, malicious or non-existent, and yours seem pretty useless too.
Only people with at least an IQ of 115.
I am an extremely intelligent aspiring scientist. Yet in the IQ test I took when I was diagnosed with Asperger's, I scored slightly below 115 - it was EXPLICITLY far lower than my actual intelligence.
Your "technocracy" is nothing but an ignorant cargo-cult of science and intellectualism, a vain fantasy of reducing human societies with all its individuals and complexities and value judgements into a neat and tidy set of formulas,
You have to admit though, formulas are predictable at least.
I like stability and predictability.
An IQ of 115 or higher means you're in the top 16% of people. With our population so out of control, I think 16% of people can breed for everyone else. There could even be an incentive structure. If one day a federal government could govern over Earth, it would have more than enough resources to distribute to authorized parents.
I'm also hoping for the day we can manipulate and augment our natural DNA and then we may be able to create exactly the kind of babies we need for society.
I think your IQ might be much higher by the way if what you said there is true, get re-tested.
"Isn't the fact that you can't reproduce a good enough sign that God doesn't want children in your house AT ALL"
Not really.
I can't fly, but I don't take it as evidence God doesn't want me on airplanes.
I can't breathe water, but don't take that as evidence I shouldn't have served on submarines.
I can't run at 70mph, doesn't tell me not to drive a car.
Ultimately, can't =! shouldn't.
Why should it? Do you avoid planes, boats, cars? Is there nothing in your house that you cannot personally carry home?
You have to admit though, formulas are predictable at least.
Because they are abstracted and heavily simplified models. Real life is much more messy. And predictions get far less reliable when it comes to organisms and even more so when it comes to interactions between organisms because life is more than the sum of its parts.
An IQ of 115 or higher means you're in the top 16% of people. With our population so out of control, I think 16% of people can breed for everyone else.
Yes, a massive reduction of genetic diversity is sooo desirable...
You fail population genetics forever.
we may be able to create exactly the kind of babies we need for society.
You fail genetics forever and ever.
I think your IQ might be much higher by the way if what you said there is true, get re-tested.
Why should I? I am not so insecure in my intellect that I need a test to tell me that I am.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
