"...says the CEO at Frontier Airlines. Really? You don't think that God perhaps led man to develop birth control? Seriously, you make millions a year, so you can afford 8 kids (which is how much he has), yet your company has cut pay, made layoffs, and what employees are left are barely scrapping by. They can't afford this, so stop acting so damn high and mighty.

This view isn't just ignorant, it is pretty damn offensive to people who can't afford to have children. You are basically saying that by using birth control, you aren't trusting God. Give me a break. People like this shouldn't breed.

My source is the Frontier Airlines episode of ABC's Undercover Boss. It is a horrible show, yet I can't seem to stop watching it.

The people for 234234 kids and counting use the same philosophy after the wife had a miscarraige as they belived her BC use was a contributing factor to the cause of the miscarraige.

As for the CEOs view, who cares if he doesn't want to have more kids he could get snipped or reduce his risk of getting his wife pregnant without birth control. Everyone has their reasons, I don't think its that big of a deal.

Last, people who can't afford to have kids have kids ALL the time.

Curious, did he actually say that if you use BC you aren't trusting God? Or are you stretching what his personal beliefs are into something totally different?

What does the fact that he can afford children have ANYTHING to do with the fact that some can't? You sound like the far lefties that want to take some of his money away.
