I would suppose that they are asking if that is true, or was told that by somebody who believes it is true. Sure there are those apologists who are there to assure them -- provided their association is appropriately blessed, and they were in the proper position, and didn't use birth control, or other alternatives.

Remember, I picked a pretty low bar for myself, in "there are those..." And I threw in lust for good measure. You exempted a couple of Shakers, sure. But I'll bet you my 72 virgins that Yahweh was deliberate when he put the "amusement park" juxtaposed to the "waste disposal plant." Could there be a stronger signal that this is a sinful place?
So, are you here for an argument?
