That is one heck of an enigma, BrokenQuill92, that many tried to untangle. My guess is that some people just love walking around with diapers up to their knees and having a house full of kids that they can't afford.
I remember once watching some TV segment about a family of 15 in a flat with two rooms, but at the time of the filming of that segment they were down to "only" like 6 kids and dad was thinking of buying smaller apartment, now that the family is "small".

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
