Okay, so back to God's sovereignty.... God says that children are a blessing. He tells us to fruitful and multiply. He knows how many people the Earth can hold, so why do we presunme to be more intelligent than God? When I get married, I will have children. End of story. How many? Well, that is up to Him. The same God that closes the womb opens it (remember Hannah, Elizabeth, Leah, Ruth, Sarah). God is in control of everything, and He works out everything for His own good. He is the one we are to please, not eachother, not the environmentalists, not ourselves. Why do we forget that God has EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL!

Your god is a moron, who has no idea of anything, is dumb as a brick, childish, and I think he has MPD. He is not capable of doing anything worthwhile, other than playing jokes and tricks on mankind, and is not qualified to act as a deity. And quite frankly, he's the biggest jackass to ever not exist.
even if your gobbledy-Book were true, Gawd told _Adam_ and _Eve_ to be fruitful and mulitply, not YOU, you idiot!
i think it's time to invoke this arguement back at them:
what if you're wrong? what if god doesn't exist? imagine the environment you will create for your children, or if not them, your grandchildren.
"God has everything under control?" You've never been to a slum, third world country, or a soccer match, have you, dana?
1. There's 6 billion of us, I think we've multiplyed enough.
2. If your womb is closed up that's evidence that you are a whore according to Leviticus law. Your husband would have biblical reason for divorce if you can't spit out children.
3. God isn't the one driving the SUV to the mailbox.
4. God hasn't done anything to help anyone so far. I'm not counting on him to help now.
Jesus H. Christ, the BIBLE IS FICTION! For pregnancy, all you need is to have sex at the right time of your cycle, typically about one week before you'd start your period (when you ovulate), and sperm meets egg. Then, IF it implants in the uterine lining, and IF it isn't spontaneously aborted (miscarried), nine months later you'll have a screaming, puking, shit-factory on your hands. How the fuck is that a BLESSING?!
Because human fuckery has the tendency to throw a wrench in the works, or in other words, there is no sky daddy watching over shit and making sure things go ok. Essentially, people>god.
Because God has not done a damned thing. The only things limiting our population is our natural resources. Oil is already due to run out in a matter of decades, maybe a century, and food and water are only going to become more scarce as you cram people in what used to be farmland.
"He is the one we are to please, not eachother, not the environmentalists, not ourselves"
I don't give a damn. If God wants this, I want Him to come down here and give the UN a fucking Powerpoint presentation on how he's dealing with this.
Until then, we must assume that we're on our own.
Yet "God" permitted us to learn how to track our menstrual cycles and invent condoms and hormonal birth control! Isn't that something!
Hopefully she will rethink her attitude before that particular train leaves Hypotheticalland.
so why do we presunme to be more intelligent than God?
Well, because we are, actually.
"When I get married, I will have children."
Cut the crap, woman. That one sentence contains all the reasoning you are capable of. You are having fuck muffins because you WANT them. God is a convenient excuse for you to do what you want and act like a smug douche for doing something bacteria can do.
Nature will ultimately set an upper limit on our numbers if we don't do it ourselves, true enough. The trouble is, if we let it get to that point, we'll be looking at mass starvation, political instability and war over scare resources until the numbers are reduced. Wouldn't it be better if we could be smart enough as a species to plan ahead and not let it get to that point?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
