"Children are your responsibility, not your personal sheet of blank paper. They aren’t there for you to scribble on, crumple up, and throw away if you don’t like them. Isn’t it weird how the religious wackjobs can howl about how a fetus is a human being that must be granted the privilege of existence, but once it pops out, it reverts to being a possession, a thing that mommy and daddy can do with as they please?"
"I know or met several people who said that while they don’t believe in god, they plan on raising their future children on religious views because of ‘tradition’. My opinion about this is - you don’t need religion for tradition. You can make sure you have dinner every Friday night without it being about welcoming the Sabbath. You can set aside a day each year to celebrate love and family, and exchange gifts, without it signaling the birth of Christ. You can make sure to give thanks every day without it being thanks to a certain God. Then you can give your children the stability of traditions and also the freedom to make up their own minds about religions."
