Why thank parents for having children?
Why would anyone think that there is something special about being a parent or that there is some special thanks or loyalty that is owed our parents?
Where I come from, the first time a girl becomes a mother is due to her father not realizing that she was close to having her first period. The men in the sect believe that a girl who isn't having sex after she is 5 is just being wasted. They only have sex with the ones they know can be made pregnant when they are told to.
I've never thanked any of them for being born and I can't see myself doing it anytime in the future.
There are millions of children born every year, who, if they had been given the opportunity to refuse, would have said NO to being born to that person, that place, that time, because of that sex act, etc.
Do you think that the result of rape is going to thank their father?
Do you think that the born drug addicted is going to thank their mother?
Do you think that the ones born disabled because of Alcohol Abuse have enough brain left to thank anyone?
Do you think that any soul wants to spend a lifetime in a body that is going to be raped, beaten, starved or mindless so that some guy didn't have to use his hands?
I would have said NO to this trip if anyone had given me a choice.
