Hey, I'm definitely no Christian. The problem is, is that rather than state "I think this guy is going to be a bad dad because he's fucked up, and his religious views are an avenue through which he'll likely legitimately abuse his kid," she essentially said "I'm not happy because he's a Christian, and all Christians are stupid and mean and indoctrinate their kids."
I mean, when she was pressed on it, she brought up Christian-motivated murders and things of that nature which had absolutely nothing to do with this particular guy having a kid, which makes me believe she's painting with an incredibly wide - and unfair - brush.
The point is that, unless the individual in question is like one of the people you pictured above (and no doubt, there's too many of them), then bitching about it isn't warranted. Like I said before, the world is filled with billions of theists, and they're going to be her boss, her doctor, her banker, etc. If her teacher simply having a kid is enough for her to start a subject about how offensive and wrong it is to her, how is she going to handle theists determining her livelihood and physical well-being in the future?
In other words, pick your battles. You're not going to stop theists from breeding. And you're never going to convince anyone to stop being a theist by insulting them (and writing things like "I hate it when people like you have kids" isn't something most people will be receptive to). I understand that everything is dramatic when you're a teenager (even late teens), but this? Right here? Isn't a big deal.
But, whatever. I'm not going to waste any more time on this subject.
