Jesus said: Love your enemy. And I don't think I can ever do that. And that's precisely why I've refused to procreate. Who can love their enemy? If no one can, then who can love their child if that child turns out into an enemy? I think that I'm my parents' enemy, and vice versa.

Nobody knows what Jesus said. None of the gospels were written until 2 or 3 generations later, by people who never saw him. The Bible itself wasn't pieced together until around 400 A.D.

I agree. No one knows what Jesus actually said. Nor does anyone know for sure that Jesus really existed. (I don't mean any offense to pious believers. Please forgive me.) The point here is that someone (at least the author of the Bible) said, "Love your enemy."

Yeah, what better way to demoralize and brainwash the masses than by convincing them that God said for them to love their enemies. Make them weak and ineffectual and you can easily manipulate them.
