Most or all societies once practiced slavery too. Our understanding of what is moral and ethical evolves with our understanding of the human condition. A 21st century person need not and should not look to the Bronze Age or Neolithic China to discern what is moral or ethical.
Much of the above isn’t even worth dignifying with a response.
So instead of spouting inane banalities about liberty and diversity, you resorted to spouting inane banalities about bronze age events and beliefs – but you still haven’t addressed my point.
Again, the question, then, is: How do YOU as a “21st century person” determine “what is moral or ethical?” (And without any help from Bronze Age or Neolithic Chinese thinking.)
In the interest of educating a “21st century person” into what a specific “Bronze Age” group thought and how they acted before jumping to conclusions about the purported superiority of our modern culture, it might be helpful to broaden your horizons rather than presume you know where those horizons actually are…
There is no study I know of that shows that children raised in a gay household minus a mom or dad “do just as well” as ones raised by their stable married mothers and fathers—which is what I meant as the unarguably superior arrangement.
Let’s assume that study is sound. For the sake of this argument. General population does not equal stable married moms and dads raising their children. The general population is full of other home arrangements, like single parent homes, divorced homes, unmarried homes, step-homes, etc…
What exactly is a “stable mom-dad home” and how do you measure whether either of the parents in a mom-dad home is really a suitable parent? I know of plenty of people who grew up in households that included both a mother and a father and they still had a miserable childhood because one or both parents were emotionally or physically abusive to their children.
Correct. So children have a right to a mother and father who are stable, caring, responsible and capable. How does the fact that some parents don’t live up to what children need become an argument to, therefore, permit anyone – regardless of their actual relationship to the children – the right to experiment with raising them?
Not according to your “expert’s” bumper sticker philosophy. Bad people are incapable of doing good. Now please answer my question concerning the thief reporting a crime he discovered while robbing a house. Is reporting the child porn/murder a bad thing since the thief is a bad person, or is being a thief and robbing a house a good thing?
I was simply sharing an experience. I never said they all work out just the same with other families. I have an ex boyfriend who comes from a christian family and he has some anxiety from growing up with a strict father. I come from christian family also and I did not turn out like that.
Still arguable… There is still incidents of child abuse, neglect, absenteeism and substance abuse in biological families. But that isn’t germane to this topic. This is a case of a foster child being removed from an adoptive couple because of their sexual orientation. If the order stood they wouldn’t be going back to their biological parents to live happily ever after, they would be going back into the system… So your claim that the biological parents are always the best choice is irrelevant.
It was the right thing to do.
Not arguable based on any study I know but I digress and won’t beat a dead horse for the unwilling. I also did not say bio parents are “always” the best choice. The judge had sociological reasons to make his original decision to prevent yet another fatherless home, but he caved so it’s moot.
Generally non divorced married moms and dads raising kids. Any nuances from study to study can answer for themselves. I recommend reading Truth Overruled bt Dr. Ryan Anderson. He has a whole section devoted to various studies.
But just having a married mom and dad is not enough and does not ensure that they will be good parents. A household with two great lesbian parents would still probably be just as good as a household with a mother and father who are mediocre or bad parents.
