      Lol, you don’t have to be celibate to be willfully childless. I have plenty of friends that got the snip/knot before having a kid because they don’t want one. And they are some of the sluttiest motherfuckers I know (and they’d take that as the compliment it was).

    support policies that promote childbearing.

    …like making abortion legal in all 50 states again? Like comprehensive sex education in schools? Like treating women as people and not property?

    The most effective way for the Southern Baptists to promote childbearing would be for them to stay the fuck out of politics!

    I’ve never know a happy Southern Baptist. I’m not interested in being as miserable as them.

      Do you know the best way to keep a Southern Baptist from drinking all of your beer on your fishing trip? Invite a second Southern Baptist.

      The only Southern Baptists I know were really into demonstrative shows of family unity at church, but would frequently get into massive screaming matches where they’d kick their teenage kids out of the house. They’re divorced now.

      The Southern Baptist only exist because the other Baptists were against slavery. Fuck every single one of them.

    Oh, cool! As a willfully childless person (even though I live with my partner and we have the necessary bits to try for children), I finally get to be one of the cool groups being ostracized by these stupid religious nuts. Hey Queer people! We get to hang out! Let’s party!

    (I’ve been watching porn the whole time. Just let me have my moment feeling special.)

    Willful childlessness is such a hilarious concept. I’m rollin’ around here.

    What are they gonna do? Check if you’re having unprotected sex sufficiently? Check how many miscarriages you’ve had? HAHAHAHAh. Fuckin’ donkeys.

    edit: Small gubment.

        Story time - When I was a kid you had to get condoms through a family planning clinic or by crossing a border and many chose the latter. It was gone by the time I became old enough for it to be an issue for me.

        Thankfully I live in the same country where there would immediately be government ending riots if there was any attempt to ban any form of birth control. Hell, the cops wouldn’t even stop the riots, they’d probably join in.

        I hadn’t considered that though in fairness. It’s just such a crazy notion.

        You mean, pay for my therapy, fix my broken personality, and force me to touch grass?

          I mean…If you either need or should have it then… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯…sure? (genuinely hope you’re OK though. If not and you need to talk then hit me up.)

          The touching grass part is up to you though. It’s just outside.

      Oh. I guess I read that wrong as “willful childishness” and thought they were just being kind of petty at the end.

    That stance against sports betting annoys me so much, because that means I can’t just look at everything they stand for and say I want the opposite.

      Yeah, predatory ads for gambling really drive me crazy. Although I’d say my reasoning for being against it is pretty different from the Baptists.

    Sorry chuds that’s not going to cure your incel problem. You can’t suddenly make people produce future generations by banning what you don’t like.

    All people have to do is stop donating money to religions and the religions lose their “power”.
