Homosexuals cannot be "awesome" parents.

So two people who don't subscribe to the same religion you do aren't fit to parent. Gotcha. And suppose a Buddhist said the same thing. Some Buddhist says that anyone who raises their kids without teaching them the Four Noble Truths is harming their kids. How would you feel? Now suppose that they managed to get their government to pass laws saying you can't raise kids unless you do it their way. How would you feel? Are you beginning to realize what a worthless, idiotic opinion yours is?
So you're saying that I, as an atheist, should give up my two wonderful children for adoption? Fuck off and die.
Oh and there are gay Christians, you idiot.
So gay couples can't raise kids because they won't do it YOUR way?
Sadly, you probably believe this to be true of not only gay couples, but atheist couples, liberal couples, and anyone who's not indoctrinating their kid exactly the way you'd want them to be indoctrinated.
Um. Many heterosexual parents are religious and non-Christian or not religious at all. They aren't awesome parents, either, apparently. But they can still wed their partner and aren't shat upon for having a family.
Honestly, I haven't seen evidence that fundies make awesome parents. And, yeah, once again god proves he's astounding...
The other christians you think are so trustworthy are mass abusers of children, committing harm in every form from pedophilia to theft to murder/suicide.
Don't tell me your people are more qualified than non-christians based upon your religious proclivities. You bastards can't even keep the worst among you under control - not even with the threat of hell.
That makes you less than qualified to instruct anyone else in the raising of their own children.
If I had any kids, I wouldn't raise them in "the admonition of the Lord" nor teach them "the truth of the Bible", and I'm a heterosexual. I think you shouldn't indoctrinate kids into any religion, but let them find whichever suit them (if any) on their own, when they are more or less adult.
There are Christian homosexuals, ya know, they would probably raise their kids with admonition and truth and whatever. Would that be "awesome" enough for you? Probably not...
@ nope
"LOL gay Christians. Like black kkk members."
- Where does the bible record Jesus saying that gay people could not be his followers? No, I don't mean the self-appointed apostle Paul who admittedly never heard Jesus speak during his lifetime, I mean Jesus.
I think you'll find that in this passage Jesus is drawing an analogy between his few newly converted christian believers and children (see the 4-5 preceeding verses). He's not referring to actual children.
Therefore, you are a dumbarse.
"Homosexuals cannot be "awesome" parents."
Research and common sense suggests otherwise. After all, who could you really be 100% sure WANTED to be a parent other than a homosexual?
Matthew 18:6
One, two, three ...
And his head smashed in and his heart cut out
Robin: That's... that's... er... enough music for now lads.
So why aren't you putting in equal effort trying to revoke parental status from every non-Christian?
Oh, right, because you're a homophobic asshole, that's why.
Many muslim, atheist, Jewish and for you Catholics don't meet these requirements either. Should they be banned from adopting children?(sarcastic note: they would if they had their way, of course)
"teach them the truth of the Bible"
You mean like teach them about something that isn't in the Bible at all? That truth of the Bible?
"but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble"
Doesn't count because if the kid doesn't believe in the first place, how can they lead them astray...?
Now, those who teach their kids to believe in Jesus, and THEN teaches them to believe something that isn't in the Bible *coughRapturecough*... those are the people who should consider that verse, shouldn't they?
By that logic, you're basically saying that no non-christians are fit to be parents. That's complete horseshit.
But this is beside the real point. Why in the hell should somebody else's rights be dictated by YOUR holy book?
Whereas stumble-causers would be better sinking down, in the depths of the sea apparently, Rapturites will be be rising up, er...soon. Unfortunately, the er ...soon is similar to a particle of mass needing infinite energy to achieve light speed inasmuch as er, ...soon will need an infinite amount of time to occur.
isn't science wonderful, specially rapturology. Rapurites, infinitely wasting their own limited time.
Well then, why don't you adopt all of those unwanted children, hypocrite?
Argh I can't find the link! There was a Youtube (?) video I saw just a few days ago that was a message to the Supreme Court, about a man and his husband who adopted three African-American siblings in Washington D.C., the oldest of whom was 5 and not yet potty-trained. They now have three thriving children, and he's worried about what will happen to them if he and his husband cannot be legally married and therefore have full parental rights of the children. They could even be taken away from them and placed back into the foster care system.
I'm trying to find it to prove my point that two same-sex parents are better than neglectful "parents" or an inefficient-at-best foster care system, you see.
(As a fellow human being, one of the things that I have a hard time forgiving other humans for is hypocrisy.)
That thread is actually surprisingly nuanced. There's even a quote from Aristotle, though someone objects that he's not "a prophet or an apostle", and presumably therefore, his views are worthless.
Neither will atheists, or pagans, or buddhists, or jews, or Muslims.
So he's saying only Christians can be good parents. Funny thing is, he probably believes that completely too.
Nope, can't say I will. I will, however, teach them obedience to this proverb, straight from what you'd call a heathen idol, "It matters not by what path a man reaches the spring. It only matters that he arrives with the laments of others not upon him." I'm paraphrasing, of course, but essentially what it means is that as long as it makes you a good person, he couldn't care less if you were directed by Satanism, Christianity, atheism or whatever.
I think my kids'll be better than yours :I
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
