When asked if he has children, Carpen replied, &#8220;no, I don&#8217;t have any children, and I don&#8217;t plan to have any children because I don&#8217;t want to bring children into this world. As the Bible says, Christ came to save us from this present evil world, so why should I bring children into a world that we need to be saved from? Do you see all the natural and manmade disasters, wars, etc? Do you think I want my children to live through that? No. I love my children too much for that so I will not bring them into this world. That&#8217;s why I don&#8217;t plan to have children.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an interview with People Magazine, bestselling author Patrick Carpen left viewers dazed and confused when he said he doesn&#8217;t want kids because he loves them too much.
