Do we still need to “be fruitful and multiply” with so many people already?

There’s already so many of us here

A tribal culture came up with that phrase.

That being said, there aren't too many people in the world. There is more than enough space in the U. S. alone for every household in the world to have an acre of land. That would leave the rest of the world empty of people.

The problem is overcrowding in cities. Those who say there are too many people are those who want to monopolize resources for themselves. They are eugenicists who think they are superior and don't value human life.

hmm. from there is no proof. only adam and eve in the story. they needed to have a child and increase!

same after flood. according to the story everyone died except 3 pairs of parents so commanded have kids.

but a different source genesis 35.11 jacob was commanded to have kids after he had 10! already mentioned in 35.2,

and the towns all around had lots of people. so same now every family should adopt or make babies. if adoption process is too long then make a fuss to ban most abortions. so kids will be available to adopt.

[strateguy632]

to your POINT "many babies" consider those approved to adopt are waiting! around "2 million approved couples waiting to adopt in the United States which means there are as many as 36 waiting families for every one child" who is placed for adoption.
at least for a couple years those abortions should be directed -to give to adoption and not allowed to abort unless real medical need.

The problem is that in America we have a policy of reverse Darwinism. Women are rewarded for having more illegitimate kids and the taxpayers cannot afford to have kids of their own.

I think we can chill and slow down for a bit... lol

[slatyb]

What? Do what you want. We've multiplied and exponentiated.

[goaded]

Hell, no. We're worse than locusts. But it needs to be managed.

[Ariesman81Nshiiit]

Yes. I still have two empty bedrooms. So I easily have room for 6 more kids.

A lot of western countries face economic issues because of population decline

[fishbone77]

[strateguy632]
