What do you think of the Catholic Couple being denied from being foster parents because of their christian beliefs?

[worldscolide]

This happened in Massachusetts. They are suing over this. As someone who is atheist my self, its very easy for me to go "Ha Ha you deserved it" Or "Score one for the non Christians"... But the reality is this. Replace Christian with "Gay" Or "Muslim" or "Trans" And it becomes clear that this is a very bad thing. Side note, before commenting Please read the article, Nonsense, or insulting comments will be removed.

I have a huge problem with this issue. I could care less about their religious beliefs, If they are good people and love their children.. And their beliefs aren't extreme, there should be no reason to bar them from becoming foster parents and eventually adopting. In Massachusetts alone there are 1500 or more children who dont have a home, who are in youth homes because they can't get into foster care. This hits home for me because as a child i was in boys homes, and let me tell you, the things i was forced to endure, i would not wish on my worst enemy.

Again. If you come here and fail to read the article, or watch the video... Or if you come here to insult or hate on anyone, my self included your comments will be removed. I have zero time or energy to deal with people who won't at least do the basics of understanding the material before commenting. if you dont want to read the article, please at least google the situation.

Never use the term CIS on any of my questions. I will not have a term coined by a child rapist. Use of that term says you support his philosophies and i will not have pedophilia glorified on any of my questions. Ever.

It's disturbing. Meanwhile, they don't care how radical their beliefs are to other people. The lack in maturity a person must have to not give a young child a home because you disagree with them not being fully supportive of their underage child having sex before marriage, especially if it's gay is insane.

If you saw them as good people, give them the chance to grow from the experience of raising a kid and even if they don't change, it's a lot less traumatic and harmful to be raised in a loving family that tries to guide you in a specific direction rather than be totally lost and grow up with no clear sense of morals, purpose, family etc.

What makes a person healthy isn't necessarily what values they hold, just that they believe in them. At least, for the most part.

And yes, even though it would make me cringe, I'd be saying the same thing if the roles were reversed.

Obvious discrimination…. only going to get worse.

[worldscolide]

You're absolutely right, it's a violation of the civil rights act.

[GOLDFISH_smile]

Given the high rate of homelessness of queer youth due to being unsafe in their own home, and the high rate of suicide most directly effected by family support/rejection, I absolutely agree with this decision.

It's the same idea as not letting a couple use a surrogate bc they practice a religion that supports the abuse of girls, and you have no way to tell if the baby will come out a girl or not.

It sucks, but I don't see any way you could trust parents like these to care for any child, because you know they would actively harm certain children.

[worldscolide]

Nice so you support destroying the civil rights act and the US constitution.. So sad..

[worldscolide]

If you understood the law at all, you'd understand that denying them the same rights as say a gay couple or a trans couple is illegal.. But instead you're thinking with your vagina not your brain.

He does a podcast and he's as sharp as a tack. He only does it three days per week, because he wants to relax.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Yea, I stopped listening to him years ago when one of his dogs was going through some health problems. He was too mentally wrecked to talk about politics or debate people. Never held it against him. Heard his podcast a few months ago and he seems back to normal which I thought was impressive.

Thanks for the MHO

I think it's getting blatantly obvious at this point that all these leftist organizations are propedophilia and promutilation. They would much rather those kids go to one of their islands than go loving parents who would protect them from predators.

[NaultD]

I wouldn't be alive without Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 that prevent my mother from being adopted outside of Alaska and raised in her home village. My uncle just a year older was forced into adoption. "To kill the Indian but save the man."

I do not know the child in question but i do not give the benefit of the doubt to the foster parents.

[IceCreamSandwich]

This is sick. I can't believe those people were discriminated against for their religious beliefs. What's next, will we ban physical discipline? It says right in scripture that parents are supposed to beat their children with rods if they disobey. To deny a parent that right is clear religious discrimination! And what are we going to ban child marriages too? It's biblical for young girls to be married to adult men. Then what—incest? Rape? Child genital mutilation? Even child sacrifice? We are opening up the door to serious religious persecution and all these religious practices being outright BANNED!

Just let the nice Christian couple buy some children, for goodness' sake. It doesn't matter what they're going to do to them—this isn't about children's "rights." It is that couples' religious RIGHT to own however many children they want.

[worldscolide]

Lol the only people mutilating their children is leftists like you. Seriously if you believe all of that about Christians you're the problem here not them.. One could say the exact same things about trans people and gay people. In fact pedophilia is prolific on the left..

[BeetleBro2000]

I see where you're coming from, and of course I agree that nobody should be denied a chance to provide a child a safe home due to their religion. The issue here wasn't with their religion though. The issue was with their beliefs on marriage and gender, which unfortunately revealed that their home is not safe—unless there was a way to guarantee all children they foster are cishet, which there isn't.

[worldscolide]

cishet.. Derived from CIS.. Which is a term coined by a prolific child rapist. By using that term alone, i can see where exactly your politics lie. Additionally there is the civil rights act of 1963 which guarantees no government agency is permitted to discriminate on the basis of religion which is exactly whats happening here, You are wrong.. Nothing will change that.. Do your self a favor. a big favor, Take a civics class, one that specifically goes over civil rights, religious freedoms, and the like. Educate your self child.

As a non-white non-Catholic non-Christian I confirm that these are clear double standards.

[Agape93]

Welcome to religious bigotry.

[worldscolide]

Except that this is bigotry against religious people. They were literally told that because they are Christian they are not permitted to adopt. Bigotry is bigotry no matter who it comes from and I hate it from all sides.

[Agape93]

I've been discriminated against because of my religion, and non religious or religious minorities have had adoption discrimination for years. Welcome to the club, papists.
