Do not equate bringing life into the world with just pumping out babies.

While it is a biblical command to be fruitful and multiply, we must not forget that we should care and nurture the life that we bring into this world, lest we be like animals, nay worse than animals.

Christ has demanded of us to be like Sons of God.

While it is part of their principle duty to bring life into this word and a childless woman is unfulfilled, it is unmanly to reduce women to the rank of birthing machines. We’re not rats, we’re made in God’s image.

Nothing worse than a k-selection species acting like an r-selection species.

We can have a healthy balance. It doesn’t have to be one of two extremes.

Evolution would seem to have already selected strongly for k.

Finrod Felagund 2y ago

As far as I understand, k-selection is when you have fewer offsprings because of assured longevity.

Birthrates are falling in developed countries, and that’s horrible because it is the people of those countries that you want to keep around. So in a very naive understanding, they seem to have leaned too much into the k-selection model, hence my statement.

By the way, there’s no overpopulation problem. It’s just that uncivilized nations are procreating too much, and the civilized world is subsidizing that, otherwise it wouldn’t have been possible.

I see your point. The trouble is, they aren't really leaning into taking care of the offspring that they have. More like passing them through the fire of Moloch.

These are too far gone to be saved by mortal hands, many are already demons.

But even the, albeit relatively, good westerners who are having kids, they’re having 1 or maybe 2 kids maximum, and these kids probably won’t have children of their own. I’m not even sure this trend can be reversed.
