Religion has always served as a means of "providing an aught from an is", for a lot of people. A sense of objective meaning, an understanding of why something exists rather than nothing, a purpose and grand narrative for life, and a promise of immortality and ultimate justice. Is it crazy of me to think that if a person has none of those things, it gets naturally more difficult to philosophically justify having kids?

The following is copy/pasted from their Facebook post:

Hi, it’s been 6 months since we took off our prices and opened our cafe as Post Modern Times. We have served over 30,000 meals with over 2,000 donations. We feel like an over hard egg on the sidewalk without a fork or hot sauce. We knew this wasn’t going to be easy and we have exhausted ourselves, our winters donations our buildings capacity, and at times our neighborhood. We started this as a protest and continued as a promise to keep feeding people with your donations. We lost two beloved former employees this winter Brian and Kait, worked through another international crisis and tried our best to provide comfort for thousands after. Before we are able to re organize and hopefully serve 30,000 more, we are taking some time to rest, fix our constantly breaking infrastructure, and take time to make some system and organizational changes that we feel will help bring us to a more balanced cafe that everyone can enjoy. Thank you everyone that has endured and supported. We look forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks. PMT
