Thoughtful - Thanks for posting this...
Most theologians will identify this as the First Commandment of God to Adam and Eve. Regardless of any confusion with Moses and his tablets, the instruction to ‘multiply’ is the first given by God to his greatest creation.
Yep, Moslems and Mexicans women have 3-4 kids while White women have careers and dogs
When we had our sixth I had this put on the birth announcement:
From the fullness of grace we have received one blessing after another.
John 1:16
Some get it, others don’t. Sadly the bad comments outweighed the good when announcing the pregnancy. I jokingly tell my husband next time everyone will know only when the baby is born.
As a conservative, militant some might say, I see great positives in this report. Conservatives continue to procreate while the left, through abortion, same sex unions, and cohabitation, are culling themselves to extinction. Note: in the U.S. approximately 1.5 million abortions occur each year. Legal since 1973, the 13,500,000 aborted by liberals prior to 1982, did not get raised in a liberal household and become eligible to vote in the 2000 election. After all, you can’t get conservatives to abort a child even at gun point. Al Gore losses by the skin of his teeth. The 1994 election was the first election Roe-v-Wade victims would have been able to vote in and Republicans took over the house for the first time in 40 years. Though it is against my personal beliefs, this IS a culture war. And if the enemy is willing to commit suicide, and continue to encourage it, I will not oppose them. Nancy Pelosi was right. The funding for contraception and abortion she defended DOES save future government expenditures because those that it affects would most likely grow up to be worthless Wall Street occupier types. Those of us it does not affect, will have our children and raise them to be productive God fearing patriotic citizens. Makes me want to send a donation to Panned Parenthood.
Uh, it wasn’t that women became pregnant less after reaching the industrial threshold. It was because birth control made by the industrial system allowed them the ‘freedom’ of childlessness. 50 million dead babies and counting since 1973 . . .
That's because the Cavendish bananas we eat don't reproduce sexually, no matter how you eat your banana.
Along a similar vein, the cucumbers used in the daily Malthusian drills are generally picked before they mature. You ain't getting baby cucumbers from it no matter what you do with it.
The commandment to be fruitful and multiply was in Genesis.
Jesus, my wife, and my kids are my reasons for living. I cannot imagine life without them.
I am beginning to see why the suicide rate is so high. If eating, drinking, sex, and games are all there is, why bother?
Those segments that value children, whether or not they are economically sensible, will flourish while the rest fade away.
Believe me when I say you don’t want to be married to a Muslim or Mexican man. Most treat their women like dirt.
You forget blogging and facebooking. I believe those two activities tilt the balance in favor of carrying on for the purposeless masses.
You’re an exception to the rule. Not particularly common nowadays.
Recently saw a chart of Japanese fertility rates. It showed a steady decline for the last 30 years, with a rise in the near future back to replacement levels, leading to a stabilization of population in about 50 years.
The accompanying article made no attempt at all to explain why the decades-long decline actually shown by the data would not just continue. The consequences are apparently so appalling they can’t even visualize the possibility, so they just ignore their own data and its extrapolation.
IIRC: Didn't I hear Obama mumble something along those lines in talking about his daughters.

I don't have a wife or kids, and yet I have no desire to kill myself. Go figure.
