atheism and children

[Fidel_Castronaut]

Why? On what grounds? I don't know what the current position of the church is, but why do you believe so?

Well apart from me believing that the Church is a direct link to God on these matters, which is a big part of it, mind you...  

...It really makes no sense to me that something that does not come from God would be deemed sacred by God. I mean, the very definition of sacred, as I understand and accept the word, is that is comes from God.

And there is that arbitrary and nonsensical dividing line again. That doesn't answer *why* conception through intercourde is 'sacred' yet conception through IVF isnt. "Doesn't come from God." How does one even begin to go about defining that distinction in this case? As someone else mentioned, perhaps flippantly, doesn't everything ultimately come from God? If thus, then why is IVF outside of that scope?

I agree with Rob. This entire line of discussion is replete with contradictions and I don't get it at all.

edit: I see Clueless Morgan has done an except job of deconstructing this already, so I defer.
