I believe that all have the hope of redemption. I am not the judge or the jury. I am a faithful Catholic with a strong belief in Jesus Christ. NOW in answer to the question, should atheist have children? of course they should, we are called to procreate. The child in many Christian homes brings the parents back to the Church, there is always hope the same will be true in the atheist home. Peace be with you.

While I have not read it in its entirety (didn’t need to), this post seems to be based on the assumption that there exists some “suffering torment of meaninglessness” in the lives of all atheists. This is only your assumption, and once made you seem to have shaped your argument accordingly; falsify this assumption, and your argument falls apart. Allow me to falsify this for you: I am an atheist and have many atheist friends, and I can report wholeheartedly that we are some of the more well-adjusted folks you’ll ever meet. No “suffering torment of meaninglessness” here. Take my word for this as you are asking your readers to take your word to the contrary, the difference being, of course, that I am speaking for myself. Having far greater knowledge of myself than you, I’ll go ahead and declare myself expert in this field. Hence, my expert opinion is that you are full of sh*t. BTW — I know you aren’t brave enough to post anything that might counter your specious, awkward beliefs (isn’t that the problem with religionist — their inability to withstand scrutiny toward their dogmatic gyrations?), but it feels good for me to say. I’m also planning to have lots of kids, and we won’t be going to church. Hope that keeps you up at night. Chao!
