And this is supposedly the nicest Pope in ages.....

I am an atheist and proud of it. I do not need to be told what to do or what to believe or what to be.

I'm a Christian and the exact same way. Who would have thought that we have so much in common.

"certain things"? you mean like a dad teaching his son how to play baseball? mother teaching her daughter how to look good?
what about single parents?

Lol. Leave me alone. I can have an opinion which is different to yours.

So you don't think two fathers or two mothers can teach respect, discipline etc?

I'm not talking about respect and discipline.

I'm sure he's an expert on this issue, being head of the catholic church and all.

Great, I respect that. I'm all for religious freedom as long as you don't go around using your religion as an excuse to hurt others. Don't like gays? Well, keep it to yourself. You don't have to force others to believe in what you believe in. I've never understood why is it that people are so obsessed with sexual orientation? The Bible condemns very random stuff like pork and tattoos as well but they don't matter. And aren't people supposed to love everyone?

Sorry, a little bit off topic. Comments like the one the Pope made do annoy me, sorry.

I knew that someone defending the anti-gay adoption would say this! If you can't have a proper intelligent conversation on this topic without crying wolf then you should leave. Bye.

As always, this post was taken out of context.

1. In the original interview, he said he was supportive of gay marriage.

2. He also said that the bill allowing gay couples to adopt was CONFUSING, not child abuse. He doesn't see how without the mother/father relationship there can be a stable home.

You guys should check original sources before commenting.

Stop before they drag the sky monster into this.

Ironic that religion is supposed to preach love, while here he condemns and act of it.

I say we also ban single people from adopting and take away the children when a couple divorces/separates! Not doing so would be child abuse.

What are you talking about then?

Periods for girls with gay fathers? Masturbation for boys with lesbian mothers? You're feeding directly into sex stereotypes. If a child believes that they can trust and feel safe with a parent then they will discuss/learn anything regardless of gender.

You look stupid because you don't have any semblance of an argument

Don't ruin the fun

Guuuurl, it does impact. They respect other cults religious leaders and on such a topic, they atleast agree.

Nah, your cool. I can't stand overtly religious Christians. I'm just mad because Huff miquoted an original statement.
