if people use birth control or have gay sex then the whole world will turn into San Francisco too.

"Although presented as a blessing, the divine statement "increase and multiply" is also a command. Defying it comes with a price."
__________________________
What many people don't know is that the verse in Genesis says:
“Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.â€
Granted, some people interpret that as "subdue the earth from Satan." I don't. Isn't the earth "subdued" enough already? For starters, that Texas-sized patch of garbage in the Pacific isn't gone - it's just in pieces, some submerged.

Therefore, I fail to see how the analogy can be made that if God is insulted by intentional childlessness his "usual chastisement" of "foreign domination", in this case being global dominion by Muslims and/or Islam, makes any sense, but then none of what this one has to say makes sense to me anyway.

The problem when people try to use G-d's word to back up their own point (especially a catholic/fundementalist problem, imho)
is that they don't look at the time it was written, the circumstances it was written and who it was written to. Back in the days of Noah, re-population was a HUGE issue. It was worth almost anything to get a baby, including incest, poligamy and keeping sometimes hundereds of concubines (girlfriends). The whole issue with gays being "an abomination", many believe it's not because GAYS are abominal, but because the sex was sterile. That's why gay men got so much heat back them and not lesbians. What women do isn't considered sex under Biblical law, and since the man "put the baby in the woman" (which was the scientific thought of the day), women were just carriers and not part of the actual creating process.
Logic tells us that not only is is this no longer an issue (as the people who are reproducing are keeping the population up), but there is an inherent need for some people NOT to reproduce to balance things out. And many, be it out of sexual preference or infertility issues, will provide homes for homeless kids (another Biblical mandate, to provide for widdows and orphens), or will become guides and mentors, ALSO a Biblical mandate. Getting pregnant and giving birth are by far not the only ways to serve G-d.
Full disclosure, I'm a faithful believer in G-d and the Messiah. Seeing this kind of garbage just breaks my heart. I resent them using my faith to justify their hatred and mysogyny.
