If every husband and wife in a devoutly Christian home like the Duggars' home accepted all the children that God blessed them with - be it 4 or 8 or 16 or 20 - it would be wonderful indeed.

As for me, I am Catholic and my wife is Jewish, we have two kids. Would if be okay for us to have 18 more kids or do you only approve of such actions by those whose faith you agree with?

I work with a Muslim who has five kids, can I tell him that Wideawake wants him to have 15 more children?

The Catholic Church I attend is majority Hispanic. Can I go to church next Sunday and tell them all that Wideawake wants them to have 20 children?

Not that I believe that you need my approval, but I would be delighted if you did.

Of course, I've never heard of a mixed marriage that produced that many children, probably because of the nature of mixed marriages.

Again, I am not scared of the world having more people in it. If you want to tell him that you can also tell him that I am praying for him to embrace Jesus as his Lord as well.

Their pastor should be encouraging them not to use contraception. That is his job - yet a pastoral imperative more often honored in the breach than in the observance.

probably the best way is for MORE families to have a few more children and not depend on the Duggars or the Mormons to be providing our next generation....

I wanted a lot of kids but we stopped at 3.....I wish we had more in many ways....

of course I've got a cousin who just welcomed his 10th child....LOL
