100% Nigerian here. There is nothing like Gods, angels and demons, the possibility of me believing in a God is zero, I've gone beyond Atheism to Nihilism and Philosophical Pessimism. |

Religion / Moral Dilemma: Can You Kill Your Mom If She Weeps And Begs You To? by ComplexManifolds: 9:30pm On Aug 19, 2016 |
Consider this scenario, your mom is on the death bed battling with a terminal illness, incessantly complaining of both physical and mental pain, then she suddenly requests for your presence then weeps and beg you to take her life, you called the doctor and professional psychologist and they both confirmed she is in her sane mind, suppose then that a Legal Right to die is legal in your country, will you succumb to her request and take her life or do otherwise and watch her struggle with the maladies of pain till she dies? What would you do? |
Family / Re: Why It Is Morally Wrong To Bring A Child Into This World. by ComplexManifolds: 8:46pm On Aug 19, 2016 |
Noloss: Go into the world and multiply? go into a world filled with suffering, sadness, ceaseless struggles and disappointments, anguish and sorrows,heartbreaks and recurrent depression, a world where nothing is certain, where time is always haunting us, destroying all our dreams and calculations. If you love your children, you'll never want to bring them into this world, Think again my sister and think deeply, a just God will never command such a thing. Coming into Existence is always a harm, this harm is not negligible, life is too hard for us, even for those with the best life, because while money can save you from the pangs of poverty, you still have to suffer the anxiety of maintaining your business, heartaches, sickness that can make you curse your existence, loss of loved ones, accidents and above all, even death. and for those without enough money, life is nightmare. |

The reason as to why existence is a harm is as follows, The unborn do not experience pain, so if you ever find your child crying, being physically humiliated or brutalized, consider yourself the cause of his or her pains. the pleasure one experiences is never a good reason to bring that child into this world, for pleasure causes suffering if one is been deprived of it, but the unborn are not affected because they are not deprived of pleasure. let us consider other forms of suffering such as sickness, accidents, loss of beloved ones, the struggle to make ends meet, family pressure, disappointments, public humiliation, starvation and poverty, etc. We can be sure that a child will suffer from one, two or more of those life maladies lister above, but we can't predict how severe they would be, hence you are gambling with the suffering and death of an innocent child when you decide to procreate. Statistical Effects of Creating People: more than fifteen million people are thought to have died from natural disasters in the last 1,000 years, approximately 20,000 people die every day from hunger, an estimated 840 million people suffer from hunger and malnutrition, between 541 ce and 1912, it is estimated that over 102 million people succumbed to plague, the 1918 influenza epidemic killed 50 million people, 11 million people die every year from infectious diseases, malignant neoplasms take more than a further 7 million lives each year, approximately 3.5 million people die every year in accidents, approximately 56.5 million people died in 2001, that is more than 107 people per minute, before the twentieth century over 133 million people were killed in mass killings, in the first 88 years of the twentieth century 170 million (and possibly as many as 360 million) people were shot, beaten, tortured, knifed, burned, starved, frozen, crushed, or worked to death; buried alive, drowned, hanged, bombed, or killed in any other of the myriad ways governments have inflicted death on unarmed, helpless citizens and foreigners, there were 1.6 million conflict-related deaths in the sixteenth century, 6.1 million in the seventeenth century, 7 million in the eighteenth, 19.4 million in the nineteenth, and 109.7 million in the twentieth, war-related injuries led to 310,000 deaths in 2000, about 40 million children are maltreated each year, more than 100 million currently living women and girls have been subjected to genital cutting, 815,000 people are thought to have committed suicide in 2000 (currently it is estimated that someone commits suicide every 40 seconds, more than 800,000 people per year. |
Family / Why It Is Morally Wrong To Bring A Child Into This World. by ComplexManifolds: 1:19pm On Aug 19, 2016 |
From the book of Ecclesiastes 4:2-3 “Then I looked again at all the acts of oppression which were being done under the sun. And behold I saw the tears of the oppressed and that they had no one to comfort them; and on the side of their oppressors was power, but they had no one to comfort them. So I congratulated the dead who are already dead more than the living who are still living. But better off than both of them is the one who has never existed, who has never seen the evil activity that is done under the sun.” This article is aimed at adults, specifically the married couples, expecting and/or intending to bring a child into this world. They are so many reasons as to why people give birth to children, some are accidental, some consider children as a source of joy or happiness, some are due to family and social pressure, some need kids that could inherit their wealth and carry on the family name. The reasons are enormous, but they all share one thing in common; selfishness. just as David Benatar said: “Creating new people, by having babies, is so much a part of human life that it is rarely thought even to require a justification. Indeed, most people do not even think about whether they should or should not make a baby. They just make one. In other words, procreation is usually the consequence of sex rather than the result of a decision to bring people into existence. Those who do indeed decide to have a child might do so for any number of reasons, but among these reasons cannot be the interests of the potential child. One can never have a child for that child’s sake.” |
