So you're advocating having loads of kids and leaving them to fend for themselves allowing their parents to breed a huge litter but freeing them off the responsibility? I was part of a large family as was my father and many of my cousins (my father was one of 14, the smallest family they produced was six children) and kids don't bring themselves up.
God might well have changed his mind since the Bible was written seeing what a mess we make of things - and who are you to speak for God anyway? |
I'm with SP on this one. I come from a fairly large family and know other people from similar families. The Bible says, "Go forth and multiply," and, being a good religious man, my grandfather took that to mean on a logarithmic scale. I won't say how many kids he had, but suffice to say more than SP's grandparents had. Anyway, that's all besides the point. The whole go forth and mulitply command referred to a time when the tribe of Israel was just that, a large family and they needed the extra numbers. Times have changed a little since then and we've got far too many people as it is. I think it's very irresponsible of people to advocate unrestrained breeding - especially if they can't afford to raise their own kids without relying on everyone else to support them in their selfish choice.
