>All major religions preach that people should "be fruitful and multiply."
Is Buddhism not a major religion now?

>Since desire and love are tied so closely together, no disengagement is possible and the result is an endless succession of the births of parents, children, and grandchildren.

>1. All existence is dukkha. The word dukkha has been variously translated as ‘suffering’, ‘anguish’, ‘pain’, or ‘unsatisfactoriness’. The Buddha’s insight was that our lives are a struggle, and we do not find ultimate happiness or satisfaction in anything we experience. This is the problem of existence.
At best you could argue Buddhism is somewhat permissive of you having children (in most Buddhist populations this is explained in terms of the parents opting to pray for a good rebirth so they can become a monk and do things properly in a future life), but it's certainly not a religion that instructs you to go around having as many children as possible.

I would recommend the following when introducing the teachings to a beginner:
"KISS": Keep It Simple, Stupid!
Confusing people and making everything seem really opaque and complicated is all you are doing.

OP, you don't need a big esoteric 1000 book library to learn the teachings, the basics are what you need. The original teachings of the Buddha: the Sutta Pitaka.
