An Ol' Broad's Ramblings
Misdirection
While we have been paying attention to the Tax and Control Congress is trying to shove down our throats, the Democrats have come up with another way to further erode society. Yesterday, Rep. Fortney Stark (D-CA13) and 14 of his fellow Dem congress critters introduced H.R. 3827, magnanimously titled Every Child Deserves a Family Act. How can anyone argue with that? Of course every child deserves a family!
Unfortunately, the intent of such a bill is not a return to the value of the nuclear family. The family that prays together, stays together idea. It’s not even a bill that would help kids with abstinence, so they won’t be having children they can’t afford, nor know how to raise. It doesn’t address serious issue like the cycle of poverty, or drug abuse. No, what it does it is open the door for further erosion of what is right and wrong.
To prohibit discrimination in adoption or foster care placements based on the sexual orientation, gender identification, or marital status of any prospective adoptive or foster parent.
Now, I don’t give a flying flip if a person is gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, transgendered, or whatever else they want to call themselves. That’s between them and God. Condoning sin, is sin.
Leviticus 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
That goes for the opposite as well. Now, I know there are way too many these days who are going to come out of the woodwork just to call someone like me all kinds of names, just because my faith teaches me right from wrong. That makes me ‘intolerant’, yada yada. Whatever! But when push comes to shove, wrong is still wrong. I won’t apologize for my faith.
Do I have a problem with gay couples fostering children? Honestly, no, not really, in the SHORT run. There are a lot of loving people of all “orientations”, who can provide for children until appropriate homes can be found for them.
One of the biggest problems in the U.S. right now is not the lack of couples wanting to adopt. It’s how difficult the bureaucracies have made it! Why not address this problem, instead of pushing the homosexual agenda? While I don’t believe that all homosexuals would consider abusing a child, anymore than all heterosexuals would. But, isn’t it quite possible this type of thing will open the door for such abuses?
Hrm. From the title, I figured it was another abortion bill.
Post birth abortion.
misdirection is all libs know how to do.
You corner them on anything, and they change the subject, normally to scream about Bush and Cheney.
Pathetic.
Leviticus 11:7 And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.
Why does the layeth with man get observed, but pork chops ignored?
jim, I’m gonna take a wild stab and say you haven’t read the NEW Testament, which is the new covenant from God?
1 Timothy 4:4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving
Matthew 22:39 Love your neighbor as yourself.
Pick ‘n’ choose. Pick ‘n’ choose.
Ever notice that the bills that are the most ridiculous “Feel good” bills are mostly authored by California pols? Mmmm.
jim….clueless! It’s not picking and choosing. I can love my neighbor till the cows come home, but that doesn’t mean I have to condone his/her sin. And I won’t.
Robert, is that all cuz they are all sitting around with their hookas at the pot shops?
Did the New Testament also put aside Leviticus’ laws about menstruation?
Nope. Women should still stay ‘separated’ as best they can. If you stop and think about it, it’s not a bad idea. I’m sure you’ve heard of hygiene, right?
So then I’m assuming you stuck to the letter of the law and left town or stayed cloistered at home for 7 days each month for the duration of your child bearing years?
Speaking of leaving town, I think there’s also a Levit. passage requiring your toilet to be 300 yards or something from town. But my Bible search for “poo” turned up nothing.
You really are clueless, aren’t you.
Well if the New Testament says we can just ignore the Old Testament, why read it any more and use it as evidence of abominations?
Never read the Bible, have ya! End of discussion.
Oh, but one more thing….they didn’t have the same plumbing we do, did they. Jiminy crickets! How ignor…. never mind. My temper, which is REAL hard to lose, is just about to blow! I’ve been MORE than patient.
