As a concerned anti-same-sex adoption Christian, what can I do to stop the crisis of single family homes?

Question

A child is meant to have a MOTHER and a FATHER, correct? This is why we stand against same-sex adoption, right? So, I want to bring to rise the issue of children growing up in single family homes, where they lack a mother or a father in their lives. What can we do to stop this pandemic in our nation? So we can stand for what's right, and what's moral!

People, I pointeth outeth the rainbow flag! Read with sarcasm.

Answer 1

Well, of course you're right in sarcastically pointing this out. Except, you know this might actually be next on the list for Citizens for Community Values!

The real problem with "anti-same-sex adoption" groups is that they don't give a rat's tail about the well being of the children, but rather care about exposing people to GLBTs, especially healthy happy ones who break the stereotype they have convinced themselves is true.

BTW, not to be too politically correct, but please remember that not all Christians are anti-gay. there are several "Open and Affirming" churches.

Answer 2

Since Christians have a higher rate of divorce than any other group, perhaps you ought to be counseling your peers and keeping them married. I personally have known more "devout" Christians who've ended up divorced than I have non-believers. My stepson's Born Again Christian mother has cheated on every man she's been with, kicked her son out at age 9 (we welcomed him into OUR home with open arms), and has worked the system for the last 20 years.

My Christian sister-in-law has been divorced twice and the only men she seems to be able to find in her church are a**holes.

My sister was married in a church to a man who believed women were second-class citizens because that's what his religion taught him, and he never let her forget it.

On the other hand, I've seen people raised in single-parent homes who have grown up in homes full of love and respect. A parent's sexual preferences have nothing to do with the amount of parental love they can show a child. If there are loving people in the world who want to adopt a child that someone else has discarded, why are you against that?? No wonder this world is so screwed up...

[A "single family home," by the way, is merely a dwelling inhabited by one family...as opposed to a tenement or duplex:) Just thought I'd point that out.]

EDIT: Isn't there enough dissention here without you posting "fake" crap like this? Sorry, but if you considered this post to be obvious sarcasm, then you are part of the problem.

Answer 3

It is not your job or anyone else's to deem what is a correct parent for a child unless it puts the child through undue harm. A single parent home with a parent that loves them is not harming them. A foster home, orphanage, or any other situation other than this could be much more damaging. As you said, a child has a mother and a father. Being with one, even if the other is gone, is much better than ripping them away from the one that is still there.

Answer 4

The greatest contribution to single-parent households is NOT same-sex adoption, but DIVORCE. If you want to help people form and stay in stable marriages, then:

1. Make sure you are part of one yourself (be a good example).
2. Become involved in whatever organizations or groups in your area minister to married couples and parents.

If you have already done both 1 and 2, and still want to be part of the "further solution", then try 3 and 4:

3. VOTE
4. BECOME a foster parent, and adopt some needy children.

Best of luck.

The more support we have, and can be for each other, the better!

Answer 5

So...you would rather that children grow up in orphanages or in a series of foster homes instead of with two parents who love them, even if the parents happen to both be of the same sex?

There are plenty of children who grow up with just one parent, either through divorce or death. Yes, the ideal is for a mother and father, but that's not mandatory.

If what you want to do is encourage couples to stay together, so they won't have to foster their children out, become a marriage counselor. But don't try to interfere with someone's desire to love and care for a child.

Answer 6

First of all christians everywhere should pray to help you fight this problem.We must also do our best to make sure our government officials hear our plea..we have presidental candidates running for office that think homosexuality is a-ok if you feel this strongly about this issue you should help campaning for the candidate that is against same sex marriages and same sex adoption.If we get a leader that is for this it will be only a matter of time after thay take office that homosexuality will be considered ok and same sex couples will have the same rights as everyone else that do their best to live by what the Bible teaches. God BLess You and Good Luck

Answer 7

If you are truly concerned about young people without 'ideal' homes, volunteer for Big Brothers/Big Sisters or at the Boys and Girls Club. You could also sign up to be a foster parent. Believe me, there are so many children out there to help that you could do more by helping than protesting others who are trying to help.

Answer 8

A hate crime, also known as a bias crime, is a criminal offense committed against a person, property, or society that is motivated, in whole or in part, by the offender’s bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or ethnicity/national origin. In the hate crime program, bias-motivated offenses can be directed at persons, property, or society, in the way you are doing and trying to get away with by the violence in your questions.

Pursuant to the National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace signed by the President, the Department of Justice and the FBI lead the national effort to investigate and prosecute cybercrime. An IP address isn't that hard to find. Criminal prosecution is not out of the question.

The Hate Crimes Statistics Act of 1990 (amended in 1994 and 1996) defines a hate crime as a crime against a person or property motivated by bias toward race, religion, ethnicity/national origin, disability, or sexual orientation.

Incredibly, hundreds of people are subjected to violent crimes each year simply because of their race, color, sexual orientation, religion, or national origin. Others suffer discrimination when they attempt to get housing, or are intimidated by neighbors upon moving in. Such acts are against federal law and the FBI vigorously investigates any complaint about what has come to be known as "hate crime."

Answer 9

Only when the heart of the nation has changed will it's actions be truly changed. Repentance and revival are what we need.
Repent personally and ask God to send a mighty out pouring of his Spirit to bring revival to this desperate land.

Morals without a heart changed by God becomes legalism.
I'm not sure which is worse. Legalism or immorality. I think they both stink in God's eyes.

Answer 10

You've got some choices:

Real Sex Education, coupled with abstinence Education. Abstinence only doesn't work.

Adopt a baby instead of having one of your own. I rarely hear Christians rallying for increased adoptions.

If you aren't going to adopt these unwanted kids, then stop crying about abortion.

Choose not to have any children.

Kids that grow up in same-sex households are just as well adjusted as kids that grow up in Christian households. In other words they are just as good (or bad) as the people they live with. Christians raise fu**ed up kids too.
