Children from homes with a parent absent, deceased, or divorced often overcome less than ideal circumstances. But if one could preordain a child's family situation, does it make sense to deliberately deny a child a father or a mother?

A court in Arkansas says it does. Judge Timothy Fox ruled that the state's child welfare board attempted to influence "public morality" by limiting the pool of prospective adoptive parents to straight couples. Regulating public morality, he claims, oversteps the board's mandate to "promote the health, safety and welfare of children." Is he serious? How can the board "promote the health, safety and welfare of children" without taking morality into account? And isn't Judge Fox himself pushing a certain morality in dictating that adoption should be opened to all-male and all-female couples? And doesn't his insistence on couples discriminate against collectives that might wish to adopt?

There is a certain hubris that allows people to believe they are smarter than everyone who has ever lived before them. It is not by accident that for thousands of years fathers and mothers have raised children, and not fathers and fathers or mothers and mothers. Children are not lab animals for liberals to perform social experiments upon.

Of course adoption policies need to be conscerned with moral atmosphere.

There are plenty of non-illegal activities that should disqualify someone from adoption in normal cases, e.g. alcohalism, or overpowering temper and cursing problems, habitual unemployment, a pornography obsession, etc. etc.

All of these involve making a judgment about the moral unhealthiness of the environment for the adopted child. Why should gayness be any different? This is crazy.

I believe a song by Men at Work says it all......"It's a mistake".

It is as the bible said it would become. There is a famine these days and it is a famine of the Word of God.

Man said "making a judgment about the moral unhealthiness" and then said "Why should gayness be any different"?

Point is, without the moral standard of God's word, society doesn't see gayness as moral unhealthiness.

America must repent, all this focus on other things, whether they be wars or rumors of wars, the market or oil prices, there is only one reason we are weakening, and it is because we continue to defy the God who has so richly blessed us. That God is none other than Jesus Christ.

Many will mock, many will be angry with such a statement. But one things for sure, God is always faithful, and His words do not fail, those who oppose will come to find that they have been fighting their own lives, their own joy, their own peace, their own security.

You want to learn what this means? Read the Old and New Testament bible. Gospel of John says it "Jesus is the life of mankind".

Repent, or be left behind.
