I live in Utah and there was just a news story about a local man who died. He had 8 children, 54 grandchildren and 88 great-grandchildren! This is normal and not just for this state. I am just thinking of what would happen to this planet if everyone procreated in this way. What would our earth be like if people didn't feel so entitlted to breed in such huge amounts and instead have no more than 2 children? Is religion to blame (and I mean all religions that encourage expanding the church by creating more followers) for our planets peril?

The world has more than 6 billion people already. Too much sex is going on in my view. =/

Religion is highly to blame. Less religious areas tend to have less children because they have children on their own terms. not because something in the sky with questionable existance tells them they should. Most major religions brainwash people to have kids by telling them that children are a "gift from god". If we had less people it would benefit our planet in that it would be easier to support fewer people and that those people as a whole could live better lives because the planet would actually be able to support the smaller number of people.

too many stupid people are breeding I think the lack of education about birth control and sex is to blame religion is only a small part of it. also, kids are encouraged to keep their child even if they are not ready for parenthood. they have the ability to get on welfare and child support...if those two things weren't in place then more people would think a lot harder about going with "plan B"
