What an utterly ridiculous question, one that could only come from the mind of an indoctrinated theist.

Why do theists have children when there's at least a 50% chance they'll burn in hell for eternity? Wouldn't it be safer just to not have kids and not take the chance?

I don't believe in an afterlife of any kind, so I raise my children to be good people and make the most of the one life they have.

As for theists, they should worry about having children also as their children's afterlives might be bad.

But if having children is a requirement of the parents' belief system, then the parents would risk eternal torture themselves by not having children.

Agnosticism doesn't rule out the possibility of an afterlife though.
