The Bible commands us to be fruitful and multiply. In that order.
However, if people decide to have small families, they leave the future to those who have big families.
And, no, I’m absolutely not a Catholic. My wife and I had three children. So don’t blame me.
People who have small families are having children according to what they can support and take care of and they WORK.
So I do not see the logic in them supporting additional families when they are supporting their own families and ALREADY SUPPORTING AN ADDITIONAL FAMILY THROUGH TAXES.
The pope or whatever the hell he is pays no tax, doesn’t even support himself and never has and then he tries to make people who are working feel guilty if they are not supporting two other families?
The poop can practice what he preaches or shut the hell up.
Maybe we shouldn’t be feeding the third world. How long have we been trying to save Africa, for example? We feed them, they have more poor children who grow up to have more poor children. We are going to be working harder and harder to grow the numbers of people who are going to be looking at our countries with envy. This is like the Roman Empire trying to keep out the foreign tribes.
WE have to look at our modern concept of compassion because according to nature, if you cannot feed yourself then you cannot eat. The more we feed Africa or other third world nations the more hunger there is. We are defeating our own efforts to be compassionate. Large populations make large armies, the Muslims know this.
