Feel the fires of Hell

• Absurd Inurbane Witless

Why gay couples may make better parents than Christians:

A woman who burned her 6-year-old daughter’s hand on a stove so she could “feel the fires of hell” was sentenced to five years and two months in prison Wednesday. ...

[Defense attorney Amira] Swett presented four witnesses who described Harley as “nice, honorable, upstanding” and “a good Christian.” ...

According to Harley’s arrest report, the child was scarred from previous beatings with a belt. During Harley’s trial, Swett argued that the girl had burned herself accidentally, but the girl told jurors her mother put her hand on the stove.

Right, so you've shown that one woman is not fit to be a mother and that she used her twisted perception of Christainity in her maternal failing. That shows nothing about Christians in general, or about gay couples' parenting skills.

Ah but it happens so often in only the christian beliefs. WHY you say. Because it is so strict and refuses to listen or accept any other way. I've had so many dealings with christians (all different areas and beliefs) and not once have i thought, " these people are genuinly nice". Now i think they may have been nice to eachother/s faces, but they have always been rude, arrogant and refuse to listen to anything i had to say when i sat and listened to them. WHY again, because I'm a pagan. Christians are shuddering at the thought but at least I'm good enough to listen.

I am not religious but the majority of Christians are great parents. I am not opposed to gays either being parents. You will find abuse in all groups so why pick on the Christians, they are human like the rest of us. How would you define hate speech? If I said that gays should not be parents would you classify this as hate speech. Don't get me wrong my step-niece is in a same sex marriage and she and her partner are great parents and I support them. I do not pretend to understand this lifestyle but I know a good parent when I see one. I am just asking that Christians should not be stereo typed.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Feel the fires of Hell. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
