And yet…
And…what?
Oh, good grief…

And yet a huge proportion of Christians have no problem in voting a man like that into the White House.

They likely thought that the alternative was worst.

Yes. Of course. Does it make any sense whatsoever to say: ‘Well, I know my boy raped and killed all those women. But I still love him’.
The thing is, the parents know so much of the good things the son did, in addition to the bad. So the parents would not automatically stop loving him.

Which is the point. Just because someone does bad things, even a lot of really bad things, does not mean they are 100% evil. They still have some goodness in them, which is why we are called to love our enemies.

I disagree.
The love of a parent for their child is not predicated upon acts good or bad.
 
i am crazy late in responding, sorry about that. it’s not so much the changing in genders, it’s the forced politicization of things. the ghostbusters weren’t changed to female because it made sense narritively, they were changed because “F men”, (listen to the director) and that’s probably my biggest problem with it (besides how unsubtle and surface-level the humor was), I’m not really familliar with Cinderfella though, so there’s not much I can say about that.

edit: the ghostbusters movie coming out soon seems a lot better, since it seems to actually care about the history of the series and seems to actually have a unique story to tell

i dont think i could love someone who raped and killed people. theres a point where you just have to cut the cord and hope their death is painless

There may come a point when the parent washes their hands of it and acknowledges they are no longer responsible for the child’s actions, but I doubt any parent that loves their child ever stops loving their child.

Well maybe not this things they did, but they have a deeper understanding of the (now-adult) child because they knew him all along and in a more rounded way, not solely as a person who committed these bad acts.
