You can't claim Fathers are essentials

[Avatar4321]

You can't say Fathers are essential if the law redefines marriage to make them optional

Argument makes sense. Has anyone read that book they mention? I want to get a hold of it now.

 

[bendog]

you seem to be attributing single parent households to gay and lesbians.

 

[Bombur]

It is such horrible logic I can't believe you had the guts to post it.

Avatar is a great show though.

 

[R.D.]

He makes some good points

Now you can say that fathers and mothers are essential, since a father can now be a mother and a mother can be a father...and the kids can be any sex they declare on a given day. Enter the era of Obabble.

If it's so horrible, why not show what's wrong with it?

Single parent House holds and same sex house holds are still missing a parent.

What isn't wrong with it?

What isn't wrong with it?

So from this non-answer, I am forced to conclude you can't.

I suggest this. My kid's school recommended it a few years ago. She has since graduated and matriculated to college.

So having 2 dads in a committed relationship is even better?

The weight of scientific evidence overwhelmingly says you are ... wrong. Single parent households do tend to correlate to poorer outcomes for children than two parent households, and the sex of the parents is irrelevant. But continue on with your religious myths.

Anyways, avatar probably had the regular set of parents, and look at what a ******* book thumping doofus he turned out to be.

I thought I was clear that the whole thing is a travesty. I was hoping you could pick out what you thought was the best part so I could argue against that.

Especially since he's a Mormon.

 

[skye]

In this topsy-turvy world we live today ... I guess everything is possible.

All I know is.... that I could not be the person that I am today without the daily presence of my father while I was growing up. I will be forever thankful for that.

What the law says has very little bearing on the utility of fathers.

In other words, you want to criticize the whole thing, call it illogical and then want me to do the work for you. If you don't want to talk about it fine. Im not forcing you to.

I hate to break it to you, but the law already defines fathers as "optional" by the fact that it's not illegal to raise a child as a single parent.

I didn't realize asking you to actually talk to God and find things out for yourself is Bible thumping. I was under the impression that Bible thumping was quoting the Bible again and again regardless of what anyone says. I don't do that.

I don't Bible thump, but if I did, I'd win.
