I posted a question earlier in which one person responding said that fornication is immoral. I thought it humorous, and then another answerer said the same thing! I thought that was something beautiful between two people.
What is immoral about procreation? I'm not speaking of adultery. Just trying to understand the christian conservative mind here.
Am I in danger of being struck by lightning now?

It's the thought police protecting our morals. Procreation is fine between married couples, it's why you get married, not to enjoy sex but to have children. That's why fornication is immoral, you're not married and heaven forbid you're actually enjoying the pure physical pleasure of another person. It's the religious fundamentalists who have this thing about depriving themselves of earthly pleasure unless the bible says it's OK. I prefer to let my god judge my actions on earth when the time comes. My god didn't put men and women together, make sex the greatest pleasure on earth and then say, but don't do it unless you are married and don't enjoy it. I will never understand the people who use the fear of god to try to subjugate others.

If you are using the term "procreation", you are going beyond the concept of "recreational sex" and into the realm of having sex with the aim of having a baby. Biologically speaking, that is the purpose of "fornication." No other animal beyond humans has sex just for the fun of it.
So, if you truly are asking about the morality/immorality of procreation, then the environment in which the mother/father are purposefully bringing the baby into is quite relevant. Why would a truly caring parent NOT want to bring a baby into the best possible environment in which it could develop and grow? Having a baby in a less-than-optimal situation is at the very least selfish on the part of the parent(s). They are doing it more to fulfill some need of their own rather than the needs of the child.

You're in danger of being mis-informed. Procreation refers to the production of offspring, less to do with the actual reproduction and more about the production of offspring. If christian conservatives thought procreation were immoral, why would they have kids? And why would they be strictly against birth control? Makes no sense.

These are people who are either ugly or need a crutch. It's not fornicating it's called mating. Do the same people condemn animals for mating? Having sex is Biologically programmed into our brains. We don't even have to think about sex cause our brains are always telling us to do it. Even if there is a god (lol) he invented us so he programmed us to mate right? Religion is just a way to mass control people. Hundreds of years ago there wasn't an easy way to get people to agree with you or disagree with you especially if they were thousands of miles away. So you invent something no one can prove is wrong send people out to spread the word saying if you do not do this you will suffer forever. Then once they believe it and you have a quarell with someone tell your believers that the person you have a quarell with is against there beliefs. Instant war without people ever knowing you or knowing what the quarell is over. Don't waste your life taking leaps of blind faith live as you will because you got one life and then your dirt Deal with it.
Sorry if that pissed you off pray for me or something.

Who said procreation is immoral? Am I missing something? Christian conservatives believe in procreation and relations within the confines of marriage. In plain English, we don't support screwing around. Capiche?

Maybe those persons don't know the difference between procreation and fornication.
I saw on the TV someone asking people about being heterosexual. Some people answered horrified NO. Then they were asked what heterosexual means.

Procreation inside of a Christian marriage is not immoral.
Fornication outside of a Christian marriage is immoral.

They hate everything about the human body and about human sexuality. They do not think teenagers should get either condoms or information on safe sex and do not care if babies are concieved or if kids catch AIDS. A strange sense of morality. Here's an idea: lets castrate all boy babies as soon as they are born and give lobotomies to all babies, then we will have nice decent children, boys and girls, young men and women, who will never ever do or even think about doing anything indecent or inconvenient or unconventional. True, America would eventually disappear, but would that be so bad?

There is a difference between fornication and procreation.
Fornication is immoral, it is sex between two people without the benefit of marriage.
Procreation is sex between a married couple. It is actually encouraged in the Bible.

Sorry I don't think being a sl*t or a man wh*re is the most moral thing a person could do. Do whatever you want with your spouse, just don't go outside of the marriage or sleep around.
For the other answer, I don't want my kids getting condoms at school. They should be taught abstinence, not how to protect yourself when you are 12. Pathetic and disgusting.
