On the contrary, a right wing worldview makes it unlikely a person loves anyone. Especially not their children, who are essentially property to them.
I agree. But idealogues would argue that all of those things were part of god’s plan.
It could be real outrage that is being messily expressed. Sometimes people channel outrage into anger, and very frequently, they are not careful or considerate when doing so.
I have to admit, I’ve thought angry thoughts about people’s beliefs RE the will of god before in these types of circumstances.
I think you misread or failed to read the Texas Tribune article. The remarks did in fact come from parents of a child who died of measles.
See, only one of five kids with measles died. There are plenty left over. And they could make more.
just stop, please. You are impossible to have a rational discussion with on this topic.
I can tell the difference. But it’s far too hot to argue.
Ok. “Manufactured” outrage then.
I’ve seen several YouTubers saying almost exactly the same thing.
What I’ve not seen is anyone, parent, Mystic Camp officials, government folks saying this was “God’s will”.
Maybe they did. I’ve not read all the reports. Quit CNN and any televised news last November.
So, until I read a credible source, (not the Measles death), I refuse to be enraged by this.
This is flame fanning. The situation is horrible enough. No more is needed.
And, Like @Saint_Cad said, the death of a child, whatever the reason, is the most painful of losses.
If you were unloved or mistreated as a child, its terrible, as well. But, you’re alive now. And hopefully living a happy life. IOW, you came thru the storm.
The dead babies don’t get that chance.
When you find such a quotation, please post it here.
Again; pretending that right wingers care about their children as much as everyone else, endangers those children. Calling pointing that out “irrational” may be emotionally satisfying to you, but it’s irresponsible and unethical.
What are we supposed to do. Go rip these right-wingers children from their arms? Take them; where, exactly?
Or maybe sterilize adults because of their political/religious beliefs?
Sounds vaguely familiar…
Argument’s commenced! Get to arguin’ or get away!
Maybe. I don’t know if the meta-discussion is doing us any better than the discussion at this point, but I will bow out of this one.
You misunderstand. Not a quote having to do with THIS tragedy.
This thread, the rant, is about the Texas flood. Not measles. Have any parents of a child who drowned there said it is just God’s will? Anyone saying that warning systems are not called for because if god wills it we should not try to alter it by using alarm systems telling us to leave?
Are these kids families assumed to be the same because all Christians are the same? Is “nice god you got there” an appropriate thing to direct about them?
At the very least, given them shelter when their parents decide to throw them out. Instead, there’s an epidemic of homelessness among the homosexual youth. We don’t need to “rip these right-wingers children from their arms”; the parents will cast their children out themselves.
Or just kill them.
You didn’t read the rest of my post, where I distinguish between the flood as an event, and the deaths resulting from human actions.
Well, @Der_Trihs , not all right wingers have gay children.
Some are the children of democrats.
I venture a guess that when a parent is disowning a child because of sexual preference, I doubt political leanings are even considered.
Yes, there are bad parents. There always will be. I don’t believe its the governments job to get into my family dynamic. Or yours. Or the MAGA family down the road.
You can’t police a feeling or a thought.
That makes no sense at all. Of course members of the party that hates people who aren’t straight will abuse gay children more than the members of the one that doesn’t.
Actually, it sounds like you just made up that strawman, because you didn’t get it from here.
What about Gay MAGAs?
Well, ok If you say so.
Until all things are equal, not likely to happen, all points of view should be on the table.
If it seems simple, its because it is.
Be a good citizen. Care about others.
Come in with love, not your pet agenda.
You’ll be happier. The people around you will be happier.
