Re:
Who Barebacks? Quite many people actually, and hopefully rising with world population growth.

Not really. The world could hold, or be made to hold, lots more people. By expecting all the various nations to populate up denser with people, especially by their own natural increasetheir very own children, the planet which isn't getting any bigger, could easily hold quite a lot more people.
It's not a matter of whether there's enough elbow room for higher populations. It's a matter of whether there's enough food and clean water for all of them. Right now, many parts of the world lack both, and a higher population there would only make things worse. The places of the world that have seen the greatest gains in quality of life are also the places where access to family planning has improved. This is not a coincidence.
There can be plenty of food and clean water. The world produces plenty of food, for those people with money who can afford it. Poor people are put at a disadvantage, when their crops fail, lacking sufficient means to buy food from markets. There is no assurance that a higher population would make things worse. Actually where lots of people are found, is an abundance of food, stores, restaurants. It's far away from civilization, where a person is at risk of not finding much food.
And aren't you mixing up cause-and-effect with correlation? The places with higher quality of life, seem to be more succeptable to "family planning" dogma, because there's so many distractions from just having babies and more babies. But in some dark village with no electricity, what else is there to do at night, but make babies? It's not "family planning" that has made those places better, but rather "family planning" is more attracted to the more developed places of the world. Haven't you heard of the "Demographic Transition" theory? But I say it's mischaracterized, as the underlying rampant contraceptive pushing, is what's responsible for decimating the natural population growth. As I read on some website, there's nothing about having money in one's pockets that magically sterilizes the reproductive organs. It's possible for countries to develop and improve standard of living, without their birthrate dropping at all. I've heard some example of Israel. Some family was trying for to have a boy. American attitude was "Too bad you didn't have a boy." As if that was the last child they would have. This family moved to Israel, and their attitude was more pro-large family. "You'll have a boy next time," people said.
"Developing countries should modernize and become more like us, to better support their burgeoning populations. We should be more like them, and have more children." Pronatalist

Wouldn't our Lord be honored, to see humans actually obey one of God's commandments for a change, and for the Lord to return to a planet teeming and bursting at the seams seemingly, with human life?
The places on this planet where the population is already "teeming and bursting" don't seem to be feeling the Lord's appreciation for honoring them. They're too busy trying to feed, house, and clothe themselves.
And isn't that the case with most everybody? It's hardly because of "teeming and bursting" populations. We are stuck working jobs, because we have bellies that get hungry.
People with poor understanding, sometimes question whether people should be allowed to have so many children. But people in the most "crowded" regions of the world, probably love their children about as much as anywhere else. They say the places of the world with the least room for more people, have the most babies. Well what do you expect, with so many women of childbearing age there?
When I add up humanity's powerful reproductive urges, plus all the compelling reasons parents have as many children as they do, what I get is a global goal and natural desire, to ENLARGE the entire human race, for the greater good of the many. That's a mutual win-win approach that all humans should want to cooperate in, and the depopulation agenda really confuses things, and seeks to needlessly turn people against one another, in opposing nature in an unnatural way, not even beneficial to humans. We should do more like how our ancestors were wise enought to do, embrace and welcome our natural increase, for the benefit of future generations and ourselves. The planet isn't getting any bigger, so we must explore somewhat how humans can indeed, adapt and learn to live and breed in closer proximity to our neighbors, on the global scale at least. Let cities and towns naturally grow larger and closer together as human numbers continue to naturally rise. Then there can be found or made, plenty of place for everybody and all their progeny.
