Children created in "test tubes" and "in vitro" in laboratories are deprived of the spiritual union of man and woman that exists when normal children are created. Like the fabled monster in Mary Shelley's original novel, these children are created without spiritual union and have no soul.

Yeah, you dumbass douche bag, every man and woman cannot "normally" create a "normal" child.

And souls don't exist. Now, please, GO DIAF.

I guess the soul really is useless then. It makes absolutely no difference if you have one or not.

Strangely enough Bob you're right test tube babies have no Souls, but you're right for all the wrong reasons.

As a child born of artificial insemination, I proudly say: FUCK YOU! My mother hadda hear this crap when she was pregnant with me.

Prove souls exist first before you go around telling people they don't have one, asshole.

Edit: Jesus was born of a virgin. You just said you savior has no soul. Wouldn't that be the express train to hell?

"The World According to Bob" - somehow I see a pretentious fundy asshole trying to dictate things to us. Don't you?

EDIT: Yup, I read the OP:
"Ms. McElroy calls it "bad" because the outcome will likely make it more difficult for single mothers to whelp bastards by purchasing sperm at low cost."

The fact that he cares whether someone is a "bastard" or not means he obviously lives in the past.

My kid was conceived doggy style, that explains the loyal soul. And the fleas.

Oh, look. Bob doesn't know what a "test tube baby" actually is.

This is a breakthrough in fundiescience. Just by comparing these souless children with normal children, fundies can develop the soul-o-meter.

No one has a soul, fuckwit.
There is no such thing.
Now die in a fire.

I like the fact that Bob refers to himself in the third person -- his world view is obviously one which predates the discovery of the pronoun.

It's a petri dish, not a test tube. What in the hell do you think a uterus is (and i have one)? Let me take your logic: all children born have souls since this is G-d's gift to humanity--"I knew you before you were born"

Bob, you ignorant shit, have you even read Frankenstein? It's about a creature created from reanimated corpse parts, and shares absolutely no parallel, metaphorical or not, with IVF. Come to think of it, do you actually know what IVF is, or have you got your daft head stuck in some 60s pulp fiction comic where embryos are created in tubes and radiated into life?

Since he holds the view that women should be pumping out babies from puberty to menopause, regardless of all other factors, doesn't this "Frankenstein" thing directly contradict that? You'd think an idiot misogynist like him would be happy that women who want children and have trouble conceiving would go through humongous amounts of money, time and trouble in order to have babies, since that is what he thinks we should all be doing anyway.

I don't know what he means with this "no souls" bullcrap, but fundies rarely make sense anyway.

Wouldn't this mean Jesus had no soul? he wasn't born normally either...

So, they are soulless because there is no spiritual union?

What about those babies conceived through rape? There is no spiritual union in that case.

What about those babies conceived after a drug/alcohol induced night of partying? No spiritual union there.

Mary did not sleep with god, so there was no spiritual union there. So, was Jesus without a soul as well?

I think you need to go back to the excuse making drawing board.

[...these children are created without spiritual union and have no soul.]

Let's overlook the idiocy of this statement and ask the next question: So what? What difference does it make if somebody is conceived in vitro or not? What would you do with this information if you had it?

Tell you what...let's test something. I'll create a lineup of 10-12 people. One or two of them will have been conceived in vitro, and the rest will be "normal". I'll know in advance which people are which.

You go down the line and tell me who you think was born in vitro. If you're right, you're right. If you're not, you're an idiot.

Deal?

Yeah, 'cause we all know that swimming around inside a chick for then to get squeezed out through her vagina is sooo important to our upbringing and mental health.

Idiot.

Like the fabled monster in Mary Shelley's original novel, these children are created without spiritual union and have no soul.

Without souls? You mean, like them Negroes and commie atheists?

Die in a fire.

Hey, maybe that means such kids are free! Free to live and "sin" as they choose! God can't touch 'em; there's nothing soully to grab onto! Lucky bastards.

Most Fundies believe the soul is the thinking, feeling, conscious part of a human being. If Bob is right, then people conceived in vitro should be incapable of thinking or feeling and basically lack any kind of consciousness at all. Since many "test-tube" babies are now fully functional adults, you apparently don't need a "soul" to be sentient.

At this point, Bob would probably state that "mind" and "soul" are two different things. Just another example opf moving the proverbial goalposts.....

"Most Fundies believe the soul is the thinking, feeling, conscious part of a human being."

Since fundies are deficient in those things, maybe that means test tube babies become fundies?

So...if the kid's parents didn't hump-n-grunt then the child is a soulless monster? Wow, you really are a first class bull-milker, aren't you?

I've read through Bob’s stupid ravings about women, and thought those were the worst he could do. I was wrong: His comment about “test tube babies” is even dumber.

What position did Bob's parents use that caused him to be born without a brain?
