I think you missed something. You attacked (How am I flawed because I don't want children of my own?), to which I replied at length the implied question "why is having kids better?" or "why do you want to have kids?"; then I retorted why do you not wish to have children?, and you replied at length. Have you other counterpoints to make?

Let me get this straight. You called me (and others who are perfectly happy not to have children) "flawed," and when I asked you how this made me flawed, this is viewed by you as an attack? It seems to me that you making an assertion that many of your fellow posters being flawed could more accurately be viewed as an "attack." I was as polite as possible in asking you to explain your reasoning. When you asked me about my personal reasons for not having children, I answered as honestly as I could. Are you saying I'm not entitled to ask you the analogous question?

Apostolic grace aside, it can't be best, most fulfilling, and most beneficial without children.

There's no way that this is just your opinion? It has to be true for everyone?

I had hoped "attack" wouldn't be taken literally--I meant it more along a fencing analogy than a "you've offended me!" line. Replace all instances of "attack" with "began your/my line of argument" and likewise with defend. I apologize for my lack of clarity.

I answered it, as I said.

If religion is true, then it's true for everyone. If there is a human nature, a natural law, a purpose of some kind to humanity, then at some fundamental level it must be for all humanity. As far as "true for everyone" in the realm of having kids, please see post #156.

Yep. It's kind of like how those wascawwy Wepubwicans "attacked" Clinton just because he broke dozens of laws.
