2. A question...
Edited on Wed Jan-19-05 08:04 PM by melnjones
If it were any other religious group doing this, would you be so upset?

I understand that you have a problem with the concept of what they are doing. At the same time, we can't assume they are teaching a message of hate from what you posted here, and this is 300 orphans who wouldn't have a home otherwise. Does that really merit calling them "assholes?"

Yes, I realize I'm gonna get flamed for this, but it's how I feel.

On edit...
They have the right to believe that something is Truth. By their own beliefs, it would be in the child's best interest to put them in a Christian community. You don't have to agree with them, but they still have the right to believe this. If the government there is ok with this, there's not a whole lot anyone can do AND these people are within their rights. I couldn't read the entire article from the link, so if I'm missing some important information that might change my mind on this let me know.
