Hey, SMS – we’re 30, so if we want a kid in 10 years, it’ll be a little too late!

I also love this post... and so much resonates with me (I'm an atheist, too. I was a vegetarian for 10 years until I had a baby.) Speaking of kids: Remind me how old you are? I respect what you and your BF say about No Kids. I just find it interesting that you're both so die-hard about it, and can't help but wonder if you will have an "itch" in 10 or so years.

Been reading your blog for a while and didn’t realize you were an atheist. A plus in my book.

Honey - this is a great argument for adoption, which is something I've been thinking a lot about lately. (I'm not necessarily saying adoption is for you and the BF, but your points above just support my own thoughts on the subject.) I also have a (albeit relatively minor) genetic thing that I'm 100% guaranteed to pass on to my offspring, so why would I want to do that when, if I decide I want kids, I can take in an existing kid who needs help? Just venting here. : ) The Dateable Dork´s last blog post...Rants and raves: my opinions on sex-related issues

Okay, well. It isn't possible to reconcile statements like this with a lack of belief in Astrology: "This is partly because the BF’s job revolves around billable hours so I am home before he does, and partly because as a Virgo (however on the cusp with Leo I am), I have a much lower tolerance for clutter than he does." "So even though everything has been going very well on the surface, it is extremely difficult for a Virgo like me to not keep waiting for the other shoe to drop." "I’m on the cusp with Leo, so I’m an AWESOME Virgo, but…" After doing some searching, it looks like Lance is even more of an Astroflake; check this: "I met this chick online and her last name is Lance. Seriously. Is that a sign or something? She’s also a Leo, and Leos get along swimmingly well with Geminis. Go read any love astrology site. Back in the day, I had this one gf who was a Leo and let me tell you, the sex was off the hook." Saying that you can like Jesus and not think he was the son of God doesn't speak to my point. You can't give Astrology credibility without subscribing to its fundamental assumptions. Whereas you can certainly think all kinds of rad thumbs-up about shnizzle J-dawg laid down without buying into to "he was an omnipotent deity."

The BF and his dad and brother almost certainly have Asberger’s – his dad has been diagnosed with it twice, in fact, although he denies it. That, when combined with the fact that my mother died when she was 46 of a degenerative dominantly inherited neurological disorder, make both of us horrible candidates to pass our genes on.

Unfortunately, it’s not all about good looks, intelligence, and social savvy or I’d be inclined to agree with you

However, I think that saying you should have kids because you have awesome genes and a duty to the rest of humanity is kind of a cop-out. First of all, if YOU possess all these genetic traits – there’s no reason that they would necessarily get passed on to your kids. So YOU’RE the one that has an obligation to do awesome things for humanity.

OTOH, I am so disgusted by what “humanity” has accomplished on the whole that I think I should get rich, have fun, and get out without contributing anything to a bunch of people that are only going to fuck it up, anyway.

I totally agree with you on the atheist thing, and I don't think it's stated often enough that religion is the most harmful human creation in the history of the world. I do wonder though, if you do believe in science and evolution, how do you not see the value in passing on your genetic make-up? Particularly if you don't believe in an afterlife, it seems like procreation should really be essential to your understanding to the "meaning of life" question.

They're equally as plausible. And "yay for astrology" doesn't equal "I believe in astrology." I think Jesus was pretty rockin', too. That doesn't mean I think he was the son of God. Honey´s last blog post...Why He’s “The One,” or 5 Fun Facts about Honey and the BF

I'm pretty much on board with all your fun facts. But at the risk of soliciting another Whitman quote, how do you reconcile #2 with "yay for Astrology"? Janak´s last blog post...Weekly Roundup - Top 10 Casual Sex Links from Around the Web
