Reply #54: Take responsibility for the cake

[Az]

You see there are people that do not believe the universe was created by god. There are people that do not believe that the universe has a purpose. There are people that do not believe that being forced to create a human being is the appropriate punishment for having sex.

Taking responsibilty means considering all the issues. It does not mean throwing up your hands and claiming the universe has already decided your path. If you determine that you are not ready or willing to make a person then stopping the process before (repeat before) a person is hurt is the responsible thing to do.

It is the height of irresponsibility to just assume that a world already burdened with overpopulation will just take care of your mistake. It is the height of irresponsibility to create a person without deliberately deciding to do so. It is the height of irresponsibility to not take control of the issue and use the choices you have available.
