Lol, people actually voted yes. I sincerely hope none of you ever develop schizophrenia— who knows what “God” might tell you to do if that happens.

If it was clear that it was God speaking to me and it was clear he wanted me to do it, Yes for certain.
Otherwise No.

If it was truly clear that it was God I was hearing from and not Satan or my own thoughts, Yes.

I hope the two of you never have children.
I am in fact religious. I do believe in an all seeing all knowing God. I deeply respect that many will think differently, unlike you. And I hope you don't raise children sharing the same bigotry towards profound religiosity than you do. Have a nice day, I'm sorry to say I know you.

Well yes, we're sufficiently bigoted against religious practice to say with reasonable certainty that committing child sacrifice is wrong. If that makes me a snooty liberal antitheist in your eyes, then so be it.

Also, pretty funny that we got three Christian votes for "yes." I thought abortion was wrong because it was "killing kids," guys-- or is that not the case anymore?

EDIT: Don't worry, the religiously devout will easily outbreed the likes of you. It's okay.

You got me. I admit that I have zero respect people who are willing to murder their own children because the voices in their heads told them to do so.
"Voices in their heads" Really telling on yourself here.
First, I added so many caveats and you jump to the most uncharitable interpretation possible. I just didn't give a complete total No, because of my beliefs around God. God is beyond our comprehension and it's just arrogant for us to play God or claim to know precisely literally everything about God and what he does. Your casual disrespect for religion is just hilarious. I didn't realize we had an r/athiest regular. And unlike Dule, he's actually unlikeable.
I don't go out of my way to tailor my religious beliefs to please athiests. You can be athiest or a non-athiest. I respect that. What I won't respect is your bigotry.
What a joke.

The sheer lack of self-awareness it takes to make jokes about r/atheism users being annoying in a thread where you literally contemplated killing children for your religion… it’s incomprehensible. Ever wonder why atheists are so self-righteous? It’s because we have to put up with the fact that a huge chunk of the society we live in is clinically insane.
