I think there are many reasons that people have less children than they used to and laziness or selfishness is not the main reason. <br /><br />For example, most people try to discipline much more now with love and not fear (ie-spanking, belt, etc). It takes a lot more effort to discipline that way. Also, due to fears of letting your kids play outside and alone (I don't totally agree with that fear BTW), people put more effort into monitoring their children rather than letting them play outside by themselves. There are many other similar things that contribute to this phenomenon. As the effort increases, the numbers decrease. <br /><br />God expects us to multiply and replenish. We can't forget the last half of that commandment. If we are just having kids to reach a number, but can't take care of them and remain emotionally stable, then we are "running more than we are capable of."<br /><br />As far as birth control over the pulpit preaching goes, you and I both know that has changed. And, as you know I know that the leaders are imperfect beings that don't always say everything as 100% perfect eternal doctrine.
