Yeah, no. I went through chemotherapy when I was 2. One of 4 kids in the US to have the cancer I did at the time. Chemo and surgery to remove the tumor was what saved me. 40% chance of surviving it and here I am decades later. Chemo is shit, but so is cancer and Iā€™d do it again if I had to.

Cannot wait to see the responses to this.

Are you sterile?

Are you healthy?

If you are not healthy and able to have kids, then so what if you lived? Life is not about surviving. It's about purpose.

As people age and as the hedonistic enjoyment of things wears off, they find that purpose is what gives life meaning. It's damn near impossible to have purpose without children.

If chemo sterilized you, and in the unlikely event that you grow old, then you will probably find one day that you have no meaningful purpose. Being alive is not the same as living.

If you are the unprecedented example of someone who has gone through chemo and come out fertile and healthy, then I am legitimately grateful for your luck.

That said, from personal observation, most people stop living once they get cancer and all chemo does is make them live longer while living less.

"It's damn near impossible to have purpose without children."

What great folly of the groin is revealed in that statement!!

So much for Nikola Tesla, Jesus Christ, and many others of a Great Spirit who had no genetic offspring.

Charlie Manson, Ed Gein, and Hillary Clinton were once someone's 'child.'

What a fool you have become.

Uh-huh.

You do realize that you just argued that if a person doesn't have children, then in order to have a meaningful life they have to be the Son of God?

So, miss, I have ask, in order to find purpose in your life, which one of these people are you emulating? Are you the next Tesla, or are you the second coming?

I argue nothing that your twisted perception seeks to explain of Me.

You stumbled over the stumbling block.

If man gossips and spreads slander about another, does that change the nature of the man who is slandered against?

Your idea of those who are recognized by Him is the idea of the Trinity Broadcasting Network.

Utterly unintelligible sophistry.
