You think I am an atheist? That shows how little you know about me, and how much you assume. I know my scriptures, and I know them well enough to understand that many of them come with a specific context: we don't stone adulterers to death anymore, nor do we kill homosexuals, or sell our daughters into slavery. I believe that contextual consideration must be applied when an environment is experiencing a crisis in resources. I don't think that if there is a major problem, God doesn't want us to keep perpetuating it because of something He said to someone else. God may have said "be fruitful and multiply" to Adam and Eve and that would be logical. I doubt very much that God has repeated these words to any specific person on this forum however, especially seeing as most people here view child bearing as a form of self-expression or self-glorification rather than self-sacrifice.
