Babies are born with sin and when babies cry, it a sin. Wahh!!! (translation) I want it now!, NOW!...NOW!!...ME! ME!...ME!...IT'S ABOUT ME! It's our nature.

What an asshole. Babies cry because they are physically unable to provide for themselves, thus they need a communication mechanism to let their guardians know that they need something.
Is it a sin to need food? Is it a sin to want to be clean? If your answer to those are yes, then its time for you to reconsider your religion jackass.
It's all very well being well versed in baby talk, but at least wait until you start attending school before you start getting entangled in weighty philosophical matters using grown-up talk.
OK. Yeah, that's kinda sarcastic, I know. But you are a bit of a numpty aren't you?
Then I recommend that you never, ever have sex with a woman, just in case you end up with a pregnancy.
And even better, your genes wll die with you.
GOOD GAWD! Babies have to cry, you jerk! Do you expect a newborn to pop out of it's mom's V-zone, stand up & say, quite eloquently, "Greetings, Ladies & Gentlemen of the Hospital Delivery Room! I am a baby! It's a pleasure to be a new member of the human race! Now, may you kindly PLEASE wash this dreadful sliminess off my body?"
BABY GENIUSES & FAMILY GUY are not documentaries.
I hope you never have kids.
Can you control your voice when you're angry? How about laughter when something is funny? Not all the time , right?
Well babies can't, ever. And when they don't want anything or nothing bothers them, they either stare or sleep. Nothing more or less, you jackass
Shiny mirror is shiny, Cadderist.
When I hear babies cry, I hear "help, my stomach is hurting", "help, I'm wet and cold", "help, I'm all alone". As social animals, it's our nature to help each other, and to seek each other out for help.
Really, are the embryos the only things that are without sin? I'm no fan of crying babies, and agree humans are some real selfish dicks, but... That's kinda how babies keep from dying, sorta. They cry and their caretakers respond because they realize the baby needs food/cleaning/warmth/whatever. If infants were quiet all the time they'd probably get left on a bookshelf and expire. It's not like infant mortality rate is stellar as it is.
Somebody needs to brush up on human development and common sense. Infants can't stay in the womb until they can speak and think rationally. So they wail. Really do they think that in the Garden of Eden newborns spoke at an 8th grade level or something?
I was born lactose intolerant and couldn't breast feed because my mother didn't want me exposed to any more of the drugs she needed to be on to, you know.. save her life in preparation for and in the aftermath of my birth. This was back in '83, so they didn't have lactose free baby formula, at least not in Arkansas that my parents could afford. So I had some fierce colic and cried almost constantly as an infant. My aunt recalls my mother practically going 'The Exorcist' on her after the first few months of this when she offered to take care of me for a while and let her sleep.
This guy is saying my cries of pain and discomfort as a baby due to my inability to digest the only food I could have was me expressing my sin?
What an asshole.
Selfish, sinful, gluttonous, lecherous babies! Grabbing tits and not caring who sees their peepees or their heinies! They're evil, I tell ya! (This was actually received Christian doctrine for centuries)
I have 6 children (4 of which I delivered), 14 grandchildren and 5 great-grand children and I love each and every one of them.
Cadderist, you know absolutely nothing about babies and are obsessed only with your own twisted logic.
Just take your crucifix, wrap it in razor wire and shove it up your arse sideways.
If babies didn't cry, there'd be a lot fewer babies. How you can say that a newborn that has no concept of right and wrong, and barely a concept of "self", can "sin", is just mind-boggling.

[troll]Because you want an excuse to beat your babies, of course![/troll]
p.s. Most of the members of this forum agree that this is disgusting. Humans aren't all crazy.
So. It's a sin for a baby to be unable to look after one, helpless and without the ability to communicate with words so they have to resort to noises?
I hope you never have children, Cadderist.
As opposed to the adult who hears a baby crying and instead of thinking 'hey, that baby's unhappy, maybe I should help', starts getting mad at the baby for being noisy.
What. An. Asshole! The baby cries to keep him/herself ALIVE! If s/he cries, it usually means "I'm hungry!" "I don't feel good" "I'm dirty" or "I'm scared". It's NOT a freaking SIN to have needs! As for being selfish...how can an infant be selfish when s/he has no sense of self?
@anothga: Me too lol xD
You're a jerk, fuck off somewhere
And thanks for proving people wrong when they say Christianity harms no one
I followed some of the links provided by our gentle readers and encountered examples of pedosadism and infantosadism that seemed to come from a fictional dystopia. There was a girls' school that made Lowood in "Jane Eyre" look paradisical by comparison. There was an account of a suckling infant beaten unconscious with a board.
This stuff is shocking, but not surprising. Look what society has taught us to value: money, power, cunning, connections, sheer size and strength, the ability to dissemble. Babies are the antithesis of all of this. They are everything these types fear in themselves; they are what such people punish.
I'm so sick of these entitled babies and their constant parasitic mooching. "I'm hungry! I need a new diaper! I just vomited all over myself!" Get a job, hippie! Those bootstraps aren't going to pull themselves up. Typical elitist, Leftist, liberal infants.
Um, yeah. babies cry. They're self-centered. They CAN be taught that other people exist, have value, worth, that sort of thing. T hey can become sensitive people and saints.
But, no, they're not born with an inherent moral code.
Funny, it's usually me, the atheist, trying to tell the Christain that their fantasy about morals being programmed into us at birth is bullshit.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
