To not believe in God has consequences so severe that it's a wonder we have any population at all. Just don't have kids. Right?

Hell doesn't exist. It was a teaching made by early christain leaders to gain control and have order over the people. Take a look at the four gospels closely, if they were written by God himself through men, then they would be exact to a T without contradictions, right? God doesn't make mistakes, men do, so why is the story of Jesus' death and resurrection different in each gospel? Because it was written by man. Religion was created so that people could have someone to blame for the events that take place in life, every religion, from the American Indians, to Bhuddism, to Christianity. (notice how everyone blames events like 9-11 and hurricanes and earthquakes on the judgement of God) Nobody wants to beleive that we are in control of this universe, because it puts too much responsibility on us. Im not saying Jesus didn't exist, I beleive he did exist, but he was a very enlightened man, and not a god like people have created him into. Life is about experiencing it to the fullest. Have lots of kids and give them the best experiences you can, and you will change the future and make the world a better place. For this reason I beleive all children are a blessing.

Well, it used to be that having children was a real blessing because they were raised in an atmosphere that was conducive to Christian morality and they turned out pretty decent but, now days there is a real problem with the youth and their culture of death. Just about every t- shirt you see in the stores have skulls and bones and all kinds of corruption on them so no wonder the Scripture says there will come a day when women will say " blessed are they who's breasts have never nursed"

The purpose is relevant, but the concept of reality to raise, nurture into the child the word of God will help them understand how wonderful life can be at most, but we are not immune from disater, disease, or death.
In lthe life of birth there will be death at one point or another and the truth of Holy Spirit shall shall show you the way or end your just misery of life!

Children make the generation. We have children so we can raise them right and fix this crap going on now with disrespectful punks who act tough.And God loves everyone, especially people who belive he is real, so you must really be bad to make it in hell.

No, because a good percentage of those kids will go to Heaven, which will give glory to God, as long as you raise them right - that is, raise them up in Christ.
"Train up a child in the way they should go, and when they are grown, they will not depart from it."

Hell is not a risk.
There is no fiery torment in hell because hell is the grave, 6 feet under.
Ecclesiastes 9:5,10 describes the condition of the dead.
They are conscious of nothing ....not even licking flames (if there were such).

The Savior YAHOSHUA died so you could go to Hell if you wanted to. But you don't have to. If you accept the grace of the Messiah, you will go with the righteous, and YHVH has set things up for your enjoyment, (though we don't know all the details yet) If you choose to carry your sins yourself, and not let Yahoshua do it, then you will wind up where they, do, in the lake of fire to be consumed before the Almighty can recreate the world without sin! sounds like a pretty good deal to me!

I have to agree with Heathen. I do not think God exisit, so therfore, I do not think Heaven or Hell exisit. If I actaully wanted kids I would have them since Hell is not an option.

No, were all Gods children, He says that we should do nothing to stop little children from loving Him because He loves them.
It's each individuals choice to love Him or not, he considers adults his children. In fact we should come to him as a little child does.

In the bible God promises if teach our children about him then they will always come back to him. So none of my children are going to hell.
