This chapter examines a series of objections to the conclusion of Christian anti-natalism in general. I begin by examining the objections that Christian anti-natalism wrongly assumes there is such a thing as the Christian ethic, that it violates procreative freedom, that it wrongly assumes welfarism, and that Christianity is at its core, pro-creationist. I close by addressing a number of other objections such as the claim that anti-natalists have bad characters, that it recommends abortion, and that it misunderstands the nature of Christian marriage. I conclude that none of these objections are decisive, and that Christians must continue to grapple with the arguments for anti-natalism.

Objections to Christian Anti-Natalism

  • Kirk Lougheed

摘要

This chapter examines a series of objections to the conclusion of Christian anti-natalism in general. I begin by examining the objections that Christian anti-natalism wrongly assumes there is such a thing as the Christian ethic, that it violates procreative freedom, that it wrongly assumes welfarism, and that Christianity is at its core, pro-creationist. I close by addressing a number of other objections such as the claim that anti-natalists have bad characters, that it recommends abortion, and that it misunderstands the nature of Christian marriage. I conclude that none of these objections are decisive, and that Christians must continue to grapple with the arguments for anti-natalism.
