I believe in God, and God said, “go forth and multiply,” so for me it’s just right to have kids.

Having children brings a different kind of happiness. It’s not just about yourself anymore, you become more selfless, you work harder, and you learn to be more responsible because you want to provide and prepare a future for them.

And honestly, we all owe it to our parents too. They chose to have kids, and that’s why we’re even here in this world. Same with you, you’re only here because your parents believed in having children.

Multipliers, God will not control your child bearing man, everyone acknowledge God but the basic rational around the world and society have gone beyond that, let me not deceive ourselves, at least you should have moderation and your economic level should determine how many kids you be making as well as your time to properly grow those kids into better adults, aside from the money, your time is very important in your kid's life so you don't go around making several kid's just because your religion book told you to multiplier

It seems there is a little misunderstanding here. Russlenat is not preaching giving birth to numerous kids you can not cater for but simply against Op decision of not having kids at all if one is not doing well. He backed his claim with a word of God from the Holy book. I support Russlenat on this and encourage you as well to have at least a kid because I believe if a man can fend for himself, he's capable of taking care of a child. Moreover, we've witnessed numerous children growing up without parents and later become successful. This means your child survival is completely not in your hand but in the hands of the creator. With or without you, they'll be what they are destined to be in the future. You're only responsible for giving birth to them and you shouldn't deny them that right. However, I'm also against giving birth to multiple kids without having plan for them.

By the way, religion did not specifically mentioned having several kids but asked the followers to multiply. The number of kids you have is completely your decision to make. However, maintaining that you won't have kids at all seems to be against the word of God.
