Why are people adopting childfree lifestyle these days?

More and more people seem to be following this selfish lifestyle. Why? It must make God so sad and angry. Is this the reason why God sends earthquakes, tsunamis, recession, swine flu etc?Why are people adopting childfree lifestyle these days?
Well we are screeching up on 7 billion people on Earth %26amp; since it doesn't look like we'll be getting bumped of the top of the food chain any time soon; I guess we don't need every family to have a dozen kids.





Besides more people are waiting until after they finish school %26amp; become established in a career before having a family, so they can support them properly, which puts them in their mid-late thirties, which is when fertility begins dropping off and the stress from jobs, relationships, money, %26amp; infertility only makes it harder to get pregnant.





Personally I feel like I could be a good parent, but I love my kids too much to have them. I wouldn't want to bring a kid into this world full hate %26amp; ugliness. As far selfishness goes, what could be more selfish than dragging around a bunch of carbon copies of yourself waiting for someone to tell you how cute they are. I don't believe in any god, but even if I did, I'd still just think that natural disasters sucked.Why are people adopting childfree lifestyle these days?
No, because earthquakes are caused by shifts in the earth's crust, tsunamis are caused by storms in the ocean, recessions are caused by lots of stupid economic decisions, and swine flu is a virus.





Do you really think the last time you got a cold it was because God hates you? There are perfectly reasonable explanations for everything you listed that do not involve a pissed off omnipotent being.
yoru god, the allloving god, is 2angry'; beacuse we are having less sex?


thats not what yoru religion tells soceity





we donthave kids as i think it smuch mroe selfish to have them, bring them into this horrific world and life, with a lot of pain and suffering, for them and us, and everyone else, then to watch all the love die and then they themselves die





also, im not ready to have kids, which i have been lead to beleive by your religion is the most sensible thing to do, wait till your married and ready and can provide and care for your family


are you sayign thats all changed now?


i shoudl go out have ltos of kids, no marrige, just sex and kids, and let them run riot and live how they want, and me, not able to care for them properly?


yoru saying i shoudl do that?
Yes there are already too many people on the earth..... god said fill the earth.... well.. it's already over full. So unless he makes another planet for more people to live on... or kills a lot of the people on this one.... no kids for me... Perhaps I am selfish and when god mentions being good stewards of the earth... he really meant to put so many people on earth that it can no longer support any life..
Would you prefer that people who aren't suited to be parents have children anyway or that the population grow faster than the worlds resources can handle? In the next couple of years the worlds population will top 7 billion. Someone is having kids.
Because freedom means choice; and people are allowed to choose whether to procreate or not. Besides, why overpopulate the world more than it is already?


Also, God doesn't ';send recessions';. Economics FAIL.
so it is selfish not to have kids but it is not selfish expecting a dead man to cover your screw ups in life i am a parent and even i agree that the world needs to cut down on having kids for a few years.
What?! There have always been people who don't have kids....they have historically been monks, priests or nuns though. That's all. It's not selfish to not want kids, as long as you're not murdering them to not have any.
Because they are responsible people who have a conscious. This world is unable to sustain this many people.





Do you know a child dies of starvation every six minutes. Who's the one being selfish?
Because they realize that what the world needs is less people, not more. They are not being selfish at all in fact they are being very rational and logical in their decision.
Because overpopulation is a major issue in the world today.
I have no problem with people who choose not to have children. The pastor of my church is celibate.
God does want people to have children, but He I don't think He punishes people for it.
As I parent myself, even I question your sanity.
2 reasons i think selfishness is one definitely and the fear to bring kids into such a broken world! Its quit sad really how bad things are really getting. The kidnappings, rape, drugs, sexual abuse physical and mental abuse...it took me many years before i became a christian and i know the life before and after I can tell you and anybody in this world the after is SO much better! Thank God for his forgiveness and grace! There are consequences for all our actions..
