Yes adoption laws and expenses are totally outrageous. Also, if the Christian Church took charge of finding homes for unwanted children, it would make a huge difference. I know because I watched the social service agencies that managed troubled children in my city lose half their caseloads because the Mormon Church in a neighboring state have been actively finding Mormon homes that were willing to take the children for the past ten years. The Christian church can also make a difference and take back much of the social service work that we are called to do anyway from the secular agencies.
I think the Christian Church has some responsibility for the moral decay of our society - we cannot expect to improve our service to our neighbor if we fail to see our role. I am not saying that we are entirely responsible, but we have dropped the ball when it comes to the secularization of social services. Think about how powerful church movements were in the 19th century - The Shakers included thousands and thousands of members who bought and raised thousands of slave children from the South - they made a huge impact on the eventual outlawing of slavery - and they didn't do it through legislation.
Or we can sit online and cry about how those mean liberals are picking on us - see, I didn't forget your place in our community, Strat.
So many lies,where to start
The moral decline of this society is the result of 100 years of liberal progressives and their lust for power,first do away with all traditional values then get people as dependent on government as you can to buy votes and secure power and like wise the modern church has abandoned traditional values to excuse their sin...in short its just people being people,power,materialism,hedonism....anything but God....this apostate would have us beleive that it is our job as christians to follow people around and make their sinful lives as easy as possible and their path to hell as wide as possible,this apostate would have us beleive that we have no right to push our morality on others but every obligation to pay the consequences,his simple mind will not allow him to understand that consequences or reaping what one sows is Gods way of bringing people to their senses and showing them that his way is the best way.
Thanks to benevolent father government and its heretic quislings you can make as many babies as you want,not work to care for them and of course kill them if you want to and in the apostates mind its all the fault of christians for not trailing along behind them begging to serve them and their sin....for your consideration i offer the following fools equation.
There was a time when sins like adultery,fornication and indecency brought shame and embarrassment,of course it still went on but the shame and stigma kept it in check...now enter the wicked fools who said away with this shame and stigma,its only human to degrade one's self,its only natural to have sex any time with anybody you want to...oops there's a baby,now more stigma and shame...lets do away with the baby as well....now we have the"great society" every sinners dream....anything goes and if any unpleasant consequences do slip through there is an endless supply of neurotic confused and simple minded pew warmers that will take the blame....the bible says that sin must come,but woe unto him through which it comes.
The"secularization" of social services occured because progressive liberals knew that if they offered people an alternative to traditional values and offered to pay for it they would follow in droves and return the favor with votes...the lies offerd by the apostate have nothing to do with it and his feigned concern for children when he would not cast a vote to save a single one of them is disgusting.
I think adoption is a beautiful thing...Jesus was adopted (by Joseph!), and I think that many Christian families should consider it. The problem is that it's just so difficult to adopt! I know that many laws are there to stop abusive people adopting kids...but let's face it, sadly many of those laws do absolutely squat to stop abuse. If the cost of adopting wasn't so hefty, and the laws and hoops were lessened, we may find that many more kids would land in good homes. It saddens me sometimes to think of all the kids, especially in poverty struck and war torn countries, who would be benefited and amazed by the lifestyle that even a 'poor' family could give them!
As far as abortion goes...well, I don't think we can place blame on the church...or anyone institution. Ultimately, the choice resides with the woman going in to force the baby from her body. There are always options. If one 'Church' is demanding and cruel, there is always the opportunity to go somewhere else...I know plenty of Churches who would welcome a struggling single mother. I'm not saying it's easy...but how many woman out there have done the young, single mother thing? It is possible. I feel it's just too easy for them to make the decision to 'get rid' of an inconvenience. If they were asked if they would shoot a random kid on the street, they would be horrified. If they were given a knife, and their baby placed in front of them...I wonder how much 'abortion' would drop.
Thank you for placing the responsability where it belongs,as you can see some people don't have that level of perception foolishly thinking that making sin easy will cause people to turn from it......it's a shame they can't find any support for it in their dusty old seldom read bible.
