thenexttodie said:Well the idea of men and women having sex with each other and conceiving is actually a normal thing. God in the Bible expects this and it was certainly not shameful for a women to become pregnant in Judeo-Christian culture, unless it envolved breaking a vow of commitment or marriage.
Nesslig20 said:Also, according to Judeo-Christian culture that if your brother died, his wife automatically becomes your wife.
Deuteronomy 25:5-6"When brothers live together and one of them dies and has no son, the wife of the deceased shall not be married outside the family to a strange man. Her husband's brother shall go in to her and take her to himself as wife and perform the duty of a husband's brother to her. 6"It shall be that the firstborn whom she bears shall assume the name of his dead brother, so that his name will not be blotted out from Israel.
Its that a normal thing? I don't think so.
The commandment God gave to us, that we are to have sex and conceive actually predates the existence of Judeo-Christian culture.
Your only half right, it is true that promoting procreation has been promoted by various religions that are older than any Abrahamic religion. But there was no commandment of God, which is limited to the scriptural text of the Torah, that predate Judeo-Christian culture.
thenexttodie said:I only referenced Judeo-Christian culture to point out that this commandment is still reflected in their culture and that the fault you accuse them with which allows them to reproduce more than atheists are able to, is non sensical.
Atheists are able to reproduce just as much, but they often don't, since typically (not universally) atheists are generally more educated in sex education and are responsible using contraception while having sex. This is why unwanted pregnancies, including teenage pregnancies are more prevalent among the religious. And by extension, even abortion is more prevalent in that demographic.
Pointing out those flaws for what they are is not nonsensical at all.
thenexttodie said:You tried to paint a picture of millions of Christian men in America that are too stupid to know how to put a condom on
They are not too stupid, they are not educated enough to evaluate benefits of using condoms during sex and often indoctrination gets them to believe the exact opposite, that condoms don't work

thenexttodie said:and thus this is this reason women are less likely to procreate with Atheists. I am arguing that there are inherent flaws in secular ideas on sexuality which inhibit their ability to have children.
There is nothing that inhibits our ability to have children (since fertility is not an issue), we take counter measures to get children when we want them and that means we are more often prepared.

You started rambling about those things, not me. So it is not pointless of me to address them.
