Every sperm is sacred, Every sperm is great... If a sperm is wasted, God gets quite irate!
My brother has 12 (yes, twelve!) kids. Why, you may ask? "We're going to have as many kids as god lets us have."
Unfortunately this is using religion as an excuse to do whatever you want. My sister in law LOVES babies. Children, not so much. Don't misunderstand me. They're actually very good parents and the children are happy, well behaved, and well fed. But their whole life revolves around whatever baby is newest and she is constantly pregnant.
My problem with the whole thing is more practical. My brother is in construction. He makes pretty good money, but with the economy the way it is (or if he should ever hurt himself where he can't work) they're screwed. I certainly can't help support them, and neither can our parents.
Quivering mass of fear and moral superiority describes them nicely.
