"It seems especially stupid for atheists who can't count on seeing any sort of return on their investment.  Having children is one way out of that.  It shines a light on occult benefits one can realize while sacrificing their self to the benefit of someone else.  And it raises the concept of externalities and unintended consequences into full view."

“The Buddha, the Godhead, resides quite as comfortably in the circuits of a digital computer or the gears of a cycle transmission as he does at the top of the mountain, or in the petals of a flower. To think otherwise is to demean the Buddha - which is to demean oneself.” -- Robert M. Pirsig
