Hasbeen where did the “defer to immigrants who were not invited” line come from?

I’m feeling more with Suze thoughts on this one while AJ that was almost as scary as what I think Hasbeen is saying.

And I reckon I can predict religion taking over the thread now rather than a subject about what might be better for a child in Out of Home Care.

Should the parents in question be parents at all? Yep I guess so, just not foster parents. Why? Because the child (in this situation) has to matter more and there will be other options out there with 45,000 foster families in the UK.

But having read more, it didn’t appear the couple were going to tell any child being gay is a bad thing and they were only stating their beliefs…. Stupid stupid stupid thing to do when dealing with govt.

Suzie spits out the usual dogma.
' People are born gay and have no say in their sexuality.'' People are born paedophiles and have no say in their sexuality'.
With this sort of warped thinking its no wonder the courts come up with such putried decisions.

"Should Christians have their natural children taken away as well to prevent the youngsters being "infected" with the religion?"

I can't believe my ears:

Should people whose name starts with a 'T' be enslaved?
Should those born on an odd day of the month be castrated?

Well, I suppose that as long as your name starts with an 'F', you were born on the 14th and you have the police/army-guns on your side, then this should not make your heart miss a beat.

Runner I do believe heterosexuals can also be pedophiles.

Looking back over history the majority of organizations and people that have hurt children placed in their care have been Christians. The first child in Australia to come into care because of abuse in the home came from the home of a Minister.

Unless a religious foster family is going to perform acts that are outside the law (cults like 'The Family' as regards child sexual abuse etc) why shouldn't Christians be foster parents?

Tolerance should however be a pre-requisite, if a child did turn out to be gay you want a supportive family structure not condemnation and abuse. But Atheists, Muslims and other 'groups' can be equally discriminatory towards homosexuality.

I agree with AJ that religion can instil hate, violence and division but that is not MOST religious people. Hate, violence and division can come about from political ideology, greed, Colonialism, economic disparity and poverty.

This is a stir-up and Al has posted a similar thread not so long ago.

But why does a foster child have more rights than a child with natural parents? If Christianity is harming children why does the State allow it in any form?

I think 90% or more Christians believe that homosexuality is innappropriate, doesn't this mean that basically all Christians are not allowed to be foster parents in the UK? My own parents, grandparents and most of my relatives are/were mainstream Christians, isn't this ruling saying that my whole family (unless they ditch the religion, which they won't do) should not have children? That they're not 'progressive' enough to have a place on planet Earth and should be irradicated from here?

If there's some other way to understand this ruling, I'm all ears...
