Know my view is confronting, wish I could, ever again, believe in a God
But others bought faith in to this thread, not saying that was wrong, unlike a poster who insists HIS thread stays on subject
We wander, we drift in to other subjects, see no wrong in that
These kids, may have been safer in the community and lifestyle of their mothers people 200 years ago
But it remains my view no God ever existed,that we have moved on from the very different spoken word and God, we needed in the dark after leaving our caves
That we humans would be/could be, far better if we became one

Yuyutsu,

Thank You for explaining your position.

I did not understand what you were trying to say
and for that I sincerely apologise.

One of the best examples of protecting the
sanctity of life comes from the predominantly
Eastern faiths - Hinduism, Buddhism, and
others which all teach "ahimsa" the key religious
virtue and guiding principal that all life is
God given and therefore sacred. "Ahimsa"includes
both compassion and non-violence, believing
that all living beings share the spark of a
divine spiritual energy that we all take part in
a symbiotic interconnected web of life.

Once again Thank You for explaining your position
more clearly to me.

You will have to forgive me if I don't respond to
you for a couple of days. I am going to have
laser-assisted cataract surgery today at 12 Noon
so I won't be able to post for a few days.

Have a nice day.

Thread told us some parents are being criminalised
But neglected to note some parents are criminals
My thoughts remain, DOC s neglects its duty, it leaves children in bad homes
Failing us all

Belly,

By "all", if you mean the Australian community, you're right. These parents bring shame on our country.

Maybe it's not so much that some parents are criminals, but that their behaviour, their callousness, is criminal. It's surely criminal to wilfully neglect one's children to the point where they are in grave danger.

In the death records for the Pt McLeay Mission on Lake Alexandrina, there was a death of a child from starvation, in 1955, in a family living thirty miles away, with the father on good money working on the railways. I knew the family a few years later and he was still a phenomenal drinker, knocking back nearly a gallon of port each night. Having lived a sheltered life, I'd never seen anybody so drunk every weekend. I thought he was an elderly man but he was only about forty then. Of course, he died only a few years later.

Cheers,

Joe

quite a few parents introduced their own kids to drugs. docp have no hope of keeping up with these ones. I personally know some. Secularism is a putried ideology.

The mother has been charged with manslaughter; so we can all go back to minding our own business and let justice takes its course. No matter what happens, the two poor little buggers are gone.
