And of course I left out one of the main reasons why those of the lds faith often have lots of kids. In Genesis 1:28 God is talking to Adam and Eve the first parents on this earth and this is what he said:
"And God blessed them, (Adam and Eve) and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
And then in The Family: A Proclamation to the World it further clarifies:
"The first commandment that God gave to Adam and Eve pertained to their potential for parenthood as husband and wife. We declare that God's commandment for His children to multiply and replenish the earth remains in force."
Simply put. But the other reasons I stated yesterday can back up what these very strong statements are saying today, and why that multiplying and replenishing the earth is important for us today. (Note it's not important for God, it's important for us. That's how most commandments are. They are not for God, but us.)
