The only class of person dumber than your run-of-the-mill troll is the religious-nut troll.
Do you realise we live in the 21st century?
I have no problem with marriage per se, but some people see is it as outmoded & nothing more than a piece of paper. Pregnant couples were/are coerced into shotgun weddings which seldom last. As long as the child is loved and cared for who gives a shit about their parents' marital status.
I was born in the 70s & if there was a child born out of wedlock it may have raised a few eyebrows but nothing more.
The Bible has no authority on what's right or wrong. Bible belief is just inside people's heads.
And ?
The bible also takes a very dim view on adultery. That doesn't stop people commiting it. A consequence of such behaviour are increased divorce rates.
Honestly, people don't call illegitimate children bastards that much anymore. The stigma is much less common these days, but it's not unheard of either. My question would be whether or not a child would want to be considered a bastard.
I don't think it's a good idea to 'play house' and have kids without being married. That said, people should do whatever is right for them.
I personally believe that sex should wait until marriage, but committing two wrongs (sex before marriage and then abortion) wouldn't solve anything. So yes, I think having the child and raising him/her is ideal; getting married to raise the child is another good option. There are also a lot of people willing to adopt, so you could look into that if you aren't up for being a parent.
That stuff doesn't really matter anymore.
I'm a Christian, so I personally wouldn't do it. But I wouldn't judge somebody else for it, or care anyway.
Great! Those annoying Ten Commandments are null and void!
Excuse me while I go offer a sacrifice to Baal and then covet my neighbor's wife and her ass.
