just real quick

I was just on Heidi Weimer's blog The Heidaway and some of us have been having a comment conversation about a law that has been passed in Arkansas forbidding gay and single parents from adopting. Who on this earth should feel confident enough in their own wisdom to command that certain people not be allowed to care for a child that has been abandoned, possibly mistreated and then abandoned? If you're going to make that law, then do your part. If you are going to tell all the loving and willing to-be parents out there that they can't be, forbid those children a home and a future, then take them in. Make up the difference. Want to be selective about who you say gets to love a child, then make sure you have the luxury of throwing your weight around. Because the last time I checked, there are thousands of children out there who will live their whole lives never being hugged the way only a mother can hug or hearing I love you in the way that you know no one else in the world hears it because so few people want to be adoptive parents. In the meantime, while you're imposing your self-righteous, judgemental values on the rest of us, think about the children you're imposing them on.
The Bible tells us that we will be judged by the standard we judge by. When you start judging which people get to love and whom they get to love... Well, it will really stink when you have to explain every relationship you have being judged by the same standard you are judging by. How awful to feel that your opinion of someone's lovelife is denying a child a home.
But, hey, congrats on that spreading the gospel thing. Sacrifice spreading the love of God for spreading the "word" of God.
