    That’s too funny. I know some folks that probably looked just like that too when they had their kids just a few years ago.

    Hahaha! I’ll never see Labor Day the same way again!

    Angus, I hope the cartoon is a poke at our efforts to blame someone else, so…

    Stop blaming EVE! Lol! Evie never would have wished this on us!

    No where in God’s Only Holy Word is there so much as a recommendation to reproduce. (Please, go ahead and search the scriptures – I LOVE IT when people read the Bible. However, if you can find in Genesis 3:16-19 a recommendation for anyone to reproduce, please let me know). God’s Only Holy Word is consistent, faithful and true. So, if it ain’t in Gen 3, it ain’t anywhere.

    MUCH LESS is there to be found a COMMANDMENT to breed (Our beloved Heavenly Father gives us PERMISSION to reproduce (Gen 1:28) but NOT a commandment). [Oh, did you want to blame GOD? LOL!]

    God doesn’t require it and there will always be plenty of poor people (unless Moses and Jesus lied – and I don’t think they did). Deut 15:11, Mk 14:7

    The only begotten Son of the Only Living God did not reproduce and He is THE PERFECT example for all humanity for all time. In fact, Jesus ADOPTED into God’s family all of us who love Him (Eph 1:4, Romans 8:15). AND, the Christ of God has COMMANDED that we must love as He has Loved us! Christ’s love is ADOPTIVE love and SPIRITUALLY reproductive love but involves no breeding; breeding simply is not needed.

    So, next time you get tempted to breed, TRUST JESUS and imitate Him! ADOPT! (Crucifixion is painful – but not nearly as painful as breeding). LOL! But look elsewhere besides EVE for the source of your misery in breeding: she would not have wished any of this onto any of us. Why would you wish it onto another generation? (Deut 5:8-10)

    Wow. Just wow. The kooks are out in droves today. Not even worth an attempted response.

    Bereanwarrior,

    I believe I have a book called “101 Sunday School Mad Libs” around somewhere. We could use that.

    It IS a holiday after all.

    Childbirth??? I thought this may have been the Victorian version of “birthing your dreams”….literal guided imagery!

    Mrs. Gendy,
    That could work.
    I realize that sometimes a serious discussion is neccesary to have even on a satiricle website, but there are some posts that just go so far out into left field that you have to scratch your head and wonder if we are even playing in the same game. This site puts up some of the best satire and humor, and it seems that some folks completely miss the point that it is indeed humorous. Even when it is a commentary through humor, the point is usually to get a laugh and see the lighter side of things.
    I can only imagine the goose-egg on the forehead of Angus from the amount of head-desk posts of late.
    My dog, Frodo Waggins, is a very smart rat terrior. I was actually wondering if he snuck on here and posted when I saw the word “breed”. He loves to pull fast ones on me, so I dusted my computer for paw prints, but it came up clean. Of course, he would realize that if all people quit “breeding”, there would be nobody here to “adopt” him. :)

    Lol.

    Your Yankee ‘Labour Day’ (notice the correct spelling) now has a different meaning for me – one I shall ever forget…

  • Comment by Les — September 7, 2010 @ 9:06 am

    Berean Warrior dogs can type but dusting for finger prints is useless since they generally prefer to hold a pencil in their mouths and use the eraser end to type the keys one. at. a. time.

  • Comment by Les — September 7, 2010 @ 1:15 pm

    Oops, I meant:
    @Berean Warrior, Dogs …

    Not 1st century Berean Warrior dogs who probably knew nothing about typewriters or pencils.

    LOL….Liked this one!

    My first baby was due on Labor Day and ever since then I have always thought of that sense of “labor” for this holiday. My second child was due on Mother’s Day. One other time I thought I was expecting, but wasn’t….the projected due date for that one? Veteran’s Day, of course.

    Les- THAT explains why I found my favorite pencil on the floor next to his kennel. (It also explains the strange text messages on my blackberry to one “Fifi L’amour” on my blackberry recently – I wondered how he was able to hit those little keys!

    Now I’m stuttering. You have my full permission to make fun of that in some future post Mr. Wordsworth.

  • Comment by Solus Christus — September 7, 2010 @ 7:56 pm

    Crucifixion is painful, but not as painful as breeding. lol. Wow.

    Jesus wasn’t just being crucified. He was taking all of our sin upon Himself, the wrath of God was His cup. This was far more painful than our labor pains.

    Honestly, a cartoon like this doesn’t have to be taken so seriously. If any one of us were in Eve’s place or Adam’s place, we would have done the same thing.

  • Comment by Solus Christus — September 7, 2010 @ 7:57 pm

    Doesn’t be fruitful and multiply mean reproduce? Isn’t that the “recommendation” God gave all of us?

  • Comment by Carol — September 8, 2010 @ 9:24 am

    Whoa, I think this is getting a bit too intense. I’m sure Angus wasn’t putting this in to cause another great Biblical debate.

    Can’t you see the woman giving birth was “resting” on the midwife’s knees. Wait a minute, that “midwife” is wearing pants? Is that the husband whose holding his wife up during labor? And the midwife, and two people holding her hands…this is what I call an extremely supportive way to bring the new life into the world.

    Interesting one, actually, as God did put pain into childbirth as part of the natural birth process, and although some of the pain can be bypassed with drugs, the drugs tends to have a host of negative side-effects (e.g. higher likelihood of cesarean, difficulty breast-feeding – even epidurals have a potential paralysis risk.)

    I don’t see what’s so difficult about “giving birth”

  • Comment by Angus — September 27, 2010 @ 5:40 am

    Nimrod returns to provoke mothers everywhere!
