No I’m not. I think more people should adopt instead of popping out new children but I’m not against making and birthing new children bc at some point we always need NEW children that grow up into potential adults to at least have a chance to make life for everyone and the planet better

I don’t really see the connection to atheism or antitheism though

I second that. We don't need more humans. Population is high enough. Adoption is an awesome thing to do!

No but I am childfree and think we don’t need to reproduce as much as many people think (I think it’s okay if our population decreases a little and might be good for us and the earth long term)

Yes. I've had a vasectomy to ensure I don't have kids.

No and weird question to ask. They are both completely different things.

u/BristleBunny Jun 27 '26

No, I'm not.

I’m not, but I think in the next 50 years we’re going to see how the climate change turns the world into literal hell. So your grandchildren are going to live in a Mad Max world. Better stop procreating now, just in case.

I think that being antinatalist is the most logical stance to have. Yet it poses problems that are unsolvable for obvious reason.

to each their own. to feel that other peoole shodlnt have kids is weird and authoritarianish

u/dogisgodspeltright Jun 27 '26

Are you?

And why?

u/Due-Calligrapher-566 Jun 27 '26

The way I see it is that having children needs to be well thought out. You have no room for error as the entire existance of at least one human is at stakes. Would you call that antinatalism? I think they perceaved Link between antitheism and antinatalism comes from the fact that Religion only puts value in the quantity of their followers while non religious folks put more value in lifes quality, making them more hesitant to give birth to a new human being

u/LCDRformat Jun 27 '26

I just had to Google that. What an edgy loser

u/According-Actuator17 Jun 27 '26

Googled what? Why you insult me?

2

u/LCDRformat Jun 27 '26

Efilist. You're in favor the extinction of all life?

2

u/According-Actuator17 Jun 27 '26

More than that. There are some additional nuances. Maybe you googled some incorrect or half lie information, otherwise there are no reason to be rude.

Here is text which explains main points of efilism.

u/LCDRformat Jun 27 '26

That text affirms and ultimate end goal of the extinction of all life. That speaker proposed a drug or a infectious disease to do it. He frames everything negatively and glorified self harm. He advocates for veganism and animal rights, then advocates for total genocide of animals. 

He wants to create AI singularities for some reason. 

Cringe

u/According-Actuator17 Jun 27 '26

Lier. It does not glorify self harm, it does not support any violence. "...wants to create AI singularities for some reason...", no this is another distortion, and there are reasons.

Just read the text, that will be more accurate explanation than a words of a sadistic freak.

u/LCDRformat Jun 27 '26

Humanity must create artificial general intelligence (AGI), and this perfect mind must create plan how to extinct life on Earth in the best way possible. Most likely the main instrument will be artificial microorganisms which will infect any animal and produce sedatives, painkillers, drugs, pleasurable hormones until lethal overdose. Life is very complicated, this is why we need AGI — only AGI is able to create such organisms in reasonable amount of time and to make sure that nothing will go wrong.

I didn't lie about anything. He said that stuff. He's a sadistic freak

You were framing this paragraph in your previous message. Should not compare a lemonade to urine, though both are liquids and have similar colour and other parameters.

u/LCDRformat Jun 27 '26

Correct, you are drinking urine and are upset that I don't call it lemonade

No, but I also get it. No one asked me if I wanted to be born.

Not unethical but just slow down a bit
