Sounds like the solution involves helping parents straighten things out between them.

@Dev-ek6qm Apparently an "identity" devoted to non-reproductive sex is hereditary though, according to today's conventional wisdom. Yeah, I think they're deeply stupid too.

@umiluv Driving drunk doesn't guarantee you'll be involved in a fatal accident, either. Your attitude towards marriage is one of the reasons I just can't respect Libertarianism -- it seems just childishly stupid sometimes.

@markzuckergecko621 Attempted murder is a crime that only comes into existence because a very specific other crime (murder) failed to happen. "But nothing happened, how can it be a crime?" is a silly defense. "Reckless endangerment" is the basis for criminalizing drunk driving. While we can argue about degree if you'd like, the same logical basis exists for criminalizing no-fault divorce when children are involved.

@umiluv "I don't drive drunk, but criminalizing it for others is [somehow] wrong" Can you hear how crazy this sounds?

@umiluv I've been presenting evidence for all the issues that I've brought up. These are a result of critical thinking, and not at all "blind faith". It looks like you're taking "thinking critically" to mean, "thinking that inevitably undermines whatever is being thought about". It's a common problem in sophomoric discourses. I think it's formally called the genetic fallacy, where the truth or untruth of a proposition is judged not on the proposition's merits, but on the source of that proposition. Blind doubt is no better than blind faith. Worse, actually; if religion is not the literal Word of God, then it's most likely something like the surviving collected wisdom of countless generations. (Which, in case you missed it again, is the logic behind having simple faith in the church.) I think you will find wisdom if you question things -- including questioning the wisdom of questioning everything.

One bonus of getting divorced, from a woman's point of view, is how much society will lionize them for how "stunning and brave" they are for being a single mother. Society should not give these women the benefit of the doubt. Single mothers who brought their situation on themselves by making no attempt to get along with the father of their children, need to be actively demonized.

Or as a younger child. No-fault divorce is child abuse.

@umiluv Browsing a few others of your comments here, there's clearly more to your views than is apparent from the inevitably limited words you've shared in this thread. Taking those other comments into account, I've been much too prickly in my replies. I'm sorry about that.

@skylinefever "How many of us are just the result of no effective birth control?" Enough to make sure the species survives. Current demographic trends indicate that when you decouple fun from reproduction, not enough people are born to continue the human race. This suggests that the Catholics have been right all along.

@skylinefever Unplanned is not the same as unwanted. It's true that with the prevalence of birth control, we're selectively breeding a race of humans for whom it isn't effective or desirable for one reason or other. Long before that works itself out though, I suspect we'll have banned hormonal birth control as an environmental toxin. In any case, our present bepilled population is nothing but a passing fad, which will be looked upon as a quirk of our times before we became wiser by returning to wisdom.

Rejection of the traditional nuclear family is child abuse.

@skylinefever Citation please.

@skylinefever The statistics seem to indicate that divorce is worse.

@LoliLikesPedobear That's kind of an intricate point. Again, citation please.
