She said, "Atheists don't really believe in evolution. Because, if the point of life according to Darwinian evolution is to pass along genes, why don't non-believers have hundreds of babies each to maximize the impact of their existence, if they really believe it."
I ROFLed about the place. I presume she assumed the 'non-believers' were men.
Doesn't the bible tell people to "go forth and multiply"? If she is a Christian shouldn't she be currently occupied with a newborn or be pregnant at the moment?![]()
But even the concept of that is strange, why does god command people to multiply when he knows they're tainted with sin and bound to eternal death? The best explanation I've been given is that it was god's plan so that later he could send jesus to redeem us. But wouldn't it be more logical to create a new couple to repopulate the Earth - one without sin? Then they say this new couple would just sin again. All I can say is "Then why the hell create us at all!?"
The Jesus did not go forth and multiply.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
