Shouldn't you have asked them before forcing them to be born into a world where there is so many problems? Hunger, Greed, Hatred, Death, Temptation to damn them to an eternity in Hell?
Did you give them a choice about being born into all of this?
Is it fair to their souls to bring them into all of this danger whether they want to be here or not?
Isn't it arrogant to assume they'd want to be here, to have you as parents?

And after dragging them into the world, isn't it unfair to say they can't choose to leave because suicide is a sin and will damn them to an eternity of Hell?

Perhaps that is the world you live in, but it is not mine. In my world, there is love and beauty and caring about people. In my world, we hug and hold hands and kiss because we love each other. We delight in our situations, whatever they may be, and look forward to each day because of the wonderful things God has in store for us.
I think perhaps it is a matter of attitude. You walk around feeling things like hunger, greed, hatred, death, temptation ..... I walk around feeling love and delight and beauty. Oh, btw? I choose to walk in that world, as do you.

Interesting question.
But why is it only directed at Christians?
There are also good things in the world: Beauty, love, friends, the love of family, charity, faith, life itself, knowledge, reading, music...
It's arrogant to assume that ANY child would want to be born to ANY parent. However, parents (Christian or not) do the best they can if they're good people.
I'm glad I was born. I wouldn't have known the difference if I hadn't been, but my love for my parents (even though only one is still living), and their love for me is amazing. I wouldn't trade it, now!

I have a daughter with high functioning autism. Many times she knows things beforehand. I also heard a Dr say people with autism tend to not forget things, something about their brain so they remember their early in childhood.
One day we passed the hospital where she was born. I told her, "that is where you were born, where the Dr took you out of my tummy." She replied, "Yes, I know Mommy and that made me so mad!" When she was born I had a C-section and the nurse said, "This child was not ready to come out, look at her little lip!" She was pouting. She then said, "mommy, I didn't want to come out." This freaked me out a bit, then I said, "What were you doing in there." She couldn't put it into words but kind of curled up in a ball. Then, on her own she said, "And before that Mommy I was with God!" this totally freaked me out. and then said again, "oh yea, what were you doing there with him?" She said, "looking for a nice mommy!" I cried.
Bible says of God, "I knew you before you were in your mothers womb."
The pain you are going through right now is temporary. The glory which awaits you in heaven is real! No eye has seen or ear heard the glories of heaven. God hears your prayers. Pain helps us to grow. Think of the pain Jesus endured.
God bless you dear

Yes, it's a sick world that we bring our children into, but there is hope for a better world. Everyone who is born has the opportunity to share eternity with their Creator.

God doesn't put anyone into this world who doesn't want to come. God is love and compassion. When you get to Heaven you will receive proof that you asked to be born a human.

There is a fundamental flaw with your question. HOW THE HELL DO YOU COMMUNICATE WITH PEOPLE THAT AREN'T EVEN ALIVE YET? And lets start with you, do you wanna be here. Would you like your life to be erased because you MIGHT not have wanted to be here?

Huh? A child isnt formed until the male sperm meets and fertilizes the egg. So could you tell me how you talk to an egg or sperm, unless of course you forbid everyone to have sex.

You've never been a mother or a father, I can tell. I'm sorry that you seem rather sad and angry at your situation, whatever it may be. Do you have a mom or dad?

I"m assuming you've asked your kids (or plan on asking your future kids) if they want to be born.
