This almost made my head assplode on so many levels.
Do even religious nutjobs agree with this? And how does a man advance so far in a field that is (supposedly) based on rationality and justice and being able of such amazing double-think? And is there any chance this will stand up to appeal?
As a religious person I know said “This makes me want to become an athiest”.
Did you look at the time stamp on that story? It’s from 1970.
I am an atheist and a father of three, so yes, an atheist can be a parent, and a damn good one too.
If the article is accurate, that’s the dumbest and most unjust decision I’ve heard in a long, long time.
Edit: from 1970! Arrrg.
If you’re curious, by the way, the decision was reversed by the New Jersey Supreme Court in July of 1971, and the adoption was upheld.
Didn’t we already have a thread where somebody linked to that article thinking it was a recent event? 
Damn you, Leon Czolgosz!
There was no internet in 1970! What a sham…
Even being from the 1970’s it raises some major :eek::eek: reactions for me.
God is big enough even to overcome atheists parents. God knew exactly where that child would be placed. Our nation is under the authority of God by our country’s own admission ‘one nation under God’. Children need loving parents, I would advise that judge to take a lesson from the statement on the currency he gets paid in ‘in God we trust’ and get that child into a loving family they need.
Please tell me you’re joking.
kanicbird talks like that all the time; I doubt it’s a joke. Actually, I can’t recall kanicbird ever making a joke of any kind.
Do you believe atheists do not love their children?
If I parsed that correctly, he’s saying that the judge should have let the kid in the athiest family, and the kid would have found God eventually.
I think kanicbird said the opposite, that the Atheists would love the child, and that the judge was wrong because God is powerful enough to overcome their Atheist… ness and reach the child.
“God is big enough even to overcome atheists parents.”
W.T.F.
that is all.
Well, the kid’s at least 39 years old, assuming she’s still alive. Does anyone know how she turned out?
That is what I was saying, along with God reaching the parents, very possibly though that very child - Is 11:6b "and a little child will lead them.
For the record, that’s from Isaiah 11:6
The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them.
I assume she became The Baroness from G.I. Joe. But what do you expect with no morals?
Ahem, shall I simply say… arrrooooooo!
