Fair play to them, if their beliefs have brought them to that point then fair enough. But if they are happy then why not?
It's when people do it for the wrong reasons it gets dodgy, aka, mums in this country giving birth at 16, 17, 18 and 19 to scrounge off the government its totally messed up.
I am an atheist so don't believe in religion, but as I said, if they are happy. Well done on them for putting up with those tough times.
Sod baby sitting though lol...

Because we live on a planet with finite space and finite resources.
I have no doubt that large families are often very happy, everyone likes company, so why wouldnt they be.
I am not saying that having a large family is intrinsically wrong, I am saying that objectively speaking, it makes no sense.
if 5/10 births that happen in this country result in somebody that lives till they are 70 and 1 in 2 of those have the usual 2 kids, then given it takes two to make each child, things start to work out on paper. However if each of those had 15 kids, our tiny area of land suddenly starts to look very very crowded.
Resulting in starvation, generally poor living conditions, faster spread of disease etc etc.
China already has this problem and to combat it, in true faux-communist style, they have introduced forced limitation on children. As I stated in my first post, this isnt right, nobody should have the right to stop two humans reproducing. What I did say, and still believe is that those of us who have considered the simple facts and figures and found them to be wanting (which any sane person would), should state our opinions.
15 kids is too many. Heck, in a country this small, 6+ is too many.
