If you’ve been a parent for any time at all, it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that your child came into the world with an insatiable faculty for evil. Even before birth, your baby’s little heart was already programmed for sin and selfishness. The inclination toward depravity is such that, given free reign, every baby has the potential to become a monster.

"Even before birth, your baby’s little heart was already programmed for sin and selfishness."
This is exactly what I'm going to think of the next time I see an "Abortion Stops a Beating Heart" bumper sticker.
So babies are evil sin-maggots, but abortion is bad because it's killing an innocent and pure little angel...
Make up your fucking minds, fundies!
“your baby’s little heart was already programmed for sin and selfishness”
Well done, you fail at biology.
What a cup of shit! They grow up, test boundaries, and that's it. It's not the baby/child who is evil or sees evil, it's you and your twisted ilk.
Funny,
especially as Jesus according to Matthew said that the kingdom of heaven belongs to the little children.
Somehow this doesn´t fit to the words of John McArthur, unless one suspects that heaven is no place for good people :D
Even before birth your baby’s little heart was already programmed for sin and selfishness.
By God, presumably? Shit, these people are screwed up.

Which is why all good fundie parents buy a how-to book on child abuse from the Pearls!
Seriously, fundies, make up your damn minds. Its a little angel when abortion is called into question, and its a little demon when its carried to term. Which is it to be? You can't have it both ways!
WTF! Who thinks about their babies like that? What a freak.
When I look at my toddler I think of how lucky I am to have her and I'd die a thousand times, in horrible ways, if anything where to happen to them.
And here we have this pathetic fundie ranting about how babies are all born insatiable for evil?
Sick.
Plus you were impling a programmer, i.e. "God".
Didn't he say he knew who we were before we were born? Hmmm?
Yet, you all go off the deep end at the mere idea of abortion.
The confusion of your religion is beyond astounding.
547535 is that addressed to me?
My point is, im trying to bring this from their point of view. Pointing out that God created "sin".
I don't actually agree with this point of view at all ;-)
So I take it that you are not against abortion then, since all that is being done is purging a heartless sinner.
It's God's Will after all!
Babies only seem evil when they won't stop crying, but then that usually means you should feed them or change them, or maybe just give them some attention or something. Maybe they have gas, who knows, but they're hardly potential monsters unless of course they have some asshole like you as a parent to teach them that everyone is evil from birth, you piece of dog poo. Not everyone is born insane like you.
Look, Stewie's Dad, it's just a baby. It cries because it's wet, or hungry, or hurting, and it has no other way of communicating. Pay attention to your baby's needs, and you'll find they're actually fun and cute. Until they start talking.
Infants are selfish. Everything's all about them.
It takes time for their world view to enlarge so that they accept the importance of other people, starting with parents and then going out from there.
It's perfectly natural.
"...your child came into the world with an insatiable faculty for evil."
Funny, I just read a quote five minutes ago from a fundy who was saying that children were "connect[ed] to Jesus Christ" and had "innate God-knowledge." Now you're saying the opposite. Which one is it, guys?
So do you make sure to tell your children how evil they are on a daily basis?
I'll admit that by day three of a teething or colic crying fit they seem pretty damn evil, and I've had some insane thoughts on how to end the crying, but the child isn't evil. An infant is an infant, theres nothing wrong with them being selfish, thats as big as their world is. It expands with time.
And it's funny how so many of the monsters in this world came from fundamental parents, isn't it.
Baby's aren't evil, they're innocent. That means they don't know the difference between good and evil. They're programmed to SURVIVE, so they focus completely on themselves, which is utterly, completely normal. As they grow, their horizons expand and they learn social skills, which is also a survival tactic. Read Dr. Spock, you heartless idiot.
I know that rabid fundies find any sort of natural behavior to be the work of Satan, but this sets a new low. I don't even have children and I am revolted.
I find it pretty funny that we non-theists are accused of degrading humanity by acknowledging that we share a common ancestor with apes, and yet the fundies will say horrid things like this.
If you fundies want to say kids are bad today because we tell them that they are animals, then you should share even more blame for telling them that their hearts are programmed as little babies to be wicked.
Also, "insatiable faculty"? That doesn't even make sense!
No, his heart was only programmed to go thump thump thump. His brain, however, ...uh, brain. You know, BRAIN...
Oh never mind, I'm not going to try to explain a brain to a fundie from the dark side.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
