[on a Gallup poll which claims that 63% of Americans now support same-sex adoption]
If queers had tried to adopt me, even way back then, I would have killed them.

I was a badass toddler. When my dad said, "Where on the door does it say '[name redacted] come in' on the door?" I wrote exactly that on the door with a pencil.
I was also a HUGE geography nut.

Why do people like steve-chan have to be so full of hate? He says that even if a gay couple cared enough to adopt a hypothetical child version of himself, he would kill them without remorse.
How could someone think that this is a moral way of thinking? Ibuki doesn't know, but it makes her sad.
@dionysus: But see, it's OK with God because "thou shall not kill" doesn't count with people of a different culture than you and the gay people would be part of the gay subculture, and "honour thy father and thy mother" doesn't apply to adoptive parents and doesn't count if it's two fathers or two mothers. The Ten Commandments are like the Three Laws of Robotics, you can get a lot of mileage out of the little loopholes. And I think "God told me to do it" is kinda the TC version of the Zeroth Law.
So much for Christian basis for law and order in the society - Thou shalt not kill and Thou shalt honour thy mother and father.
Then again, 'Thou shalt not kill' has always had a large asterisk next to it, with the small print reading 'Conditions applied - applicable only to Christians and (maybe) Jews'.
@Ms. Mioda:
Trope-tan, is that you?
With what, the contents of your diaper? You are remarkibly stupid, are you not?
Of course, if you were an older adoptee, you could have done it the good, old American way, but then you would have been tried as an adult and, well, there's always the spike.
Thou shalt kill for jeebus!
And when you were done, you could kill entire towns just like your "book of morality" tells you to...
Kill the Entire Town if One Person Worships Another God
Suppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you that some worthless rabble among you have led their fellow citizens astray by encouraging them to worship foreign gods. In such cases, you must examine the facts carefully. If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock. Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it. Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God. That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt. Keep none of the plunder that has been set apart for destruction. Then the LORD will turn from his fierce anger and be merciful to you. He will have compassion on you and make you a great nation, just as he solemnly promised your ancestors. "The LORD your God will be merciful only if you obey him and keep all the commands I am giving you today, doing what is pleasing to him." (Deuteronomy 13:13-19 NLT)
And when you were done with that you could kill all followers of all other religions just like your book of "morality" tells you to...
Kill Followers of Other Religions.
1) If your own full brother, or your son or daughter, or your beloved wife, or you intimate friend, entices you secretly to serve other gods, whom you and your fathers have not known, gods of any other nations, near at hand or far away, from one end of the earth to the other: do not yield to him or listen to him, nor look with pity upon him, to spare or shield him, but kill him. Your hand shall be the first raised to slay him; the rest of the people shall join in with you. You shall stone him to death, because he sought to lead you astray from the Lord, your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that place of slavery. And all Israel, hearing of this, shall fear and never do such evil as this in your midst. (Deuteronomy 13:7-12 NAB)
2) Suppose a man or woman among you, in one of your towns that the LORD your God is giving you, has done evil in the sight of the LORD your God and has violated the covenant by serving other gods or by worshiping the sun, the moon, or any of the forces of heaven, which I have strictly forbidden. When you hear about it, investigate the matter thoroughly. If it is true that this detestable thing has been done in Israel, then that man or woman must be taken to the gates of the town and stoned to death. (Deuteronomy 17:2-5 NLT)
Are you kidding? Gay men make awesome adoptive parents! Their disposible income is higher than the average hetero couple's, and their taste in home decor and fashion is unsurpassed. I would have killed for two doting gay dads, instead of the boring parents I was stuck with.
Were you raised by gay parents, I suspect you would have ended up a lot better adjusted then your comment suggests you are now, Steve.
Some day I'll have kids of my own, and it honestly depresses me that at some point they'll have to learn that people actually say these sorts of things about their dads.
Oooo we got a internet badass over here! Everybody run! Yeah, I'm sure your adoptive parents would have felt very intimidated by the scared, ignorant little orphan whom they were adopting. Oliver Twist is the stuff of nightmares for gay couples, apareently.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
