The God Argument

One of the most insidious arguments I've heard about why it is my duty to procreate is that "God says."  (Okay, there's usually more to it than that, but that's what it boils down to.)  How do you argue with that?  In one way, it's very easy: I don't believe in God.  But ultimately, this can just lead to more horror on the part of the religious nutcase, and is sometimes a place I just don't want to go.  Alternatively, the person walks away shaking their head with pity in their eyes, because you are clearly not only broken you're also going to hell.  Maybe it's better you aren't condemning your children, too.  This is a really unsatisfying end to the conversation!  There is absolutely no middle ground that can be reached between me and the religious individual.  You both leave the conversation feeling the other person is totally wrong and a bit of a nutter, to boot.  There's nothing to be done about it, it's just irritating.
