In a world in which our Judicial system is composed of ever increasing numbers of sexual perverts and child abusers, such decisions could be expected. With the same Judicial system being devoid of any respect for the devine creator one could almost be assured that prejudice against Christians would be rampant. We, as Christians, are guilty as a group of not being the "salt of the Earth".
Really people wake up just because these people are religious don't mean they are good parents automatically
and there tolerance just shows how little minded they are
The grandparents have already fostered 15 children and were praised by social workers as ‘kind and hospitable people’ who ‘respond sensitively’ to youngsters.
And just think how screwed up the kid would be if he was aloud to be with the religious foster parents and then turned out to be gay!!!!!!!
She added that the couple have visited her nephew, who is gay, and his partner in San Francisco.
Her husband added: ‘We wanted to offer love and stability and security to a vulnerable child. Eight-year-olds we have looked after want to play, not talk about their sexuality.’

Your not even a Christian and your telling me what that Bible says? Your out of context as usual. Jesus fulfilled the law. We only have to laws now, 1. Love the Lord your God and 2. Love your neighbor as yourself.
It is easier for Heaven and Earth to pass away than for the smallest part of the letter of the law to become invalid." Luke 16:17
“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder,[a] and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment

Although you seemed to have omitted the bit where the persons doing the "definitely not a good thing" should be put to death, the courts did not. Needless to say it's not necessarily a "good thing" to hand over children to xtian foster parents.
Incidentally, if your god told you to kill me would you do it ? Yes or No.

Wow, yeah, what is the world coming to when gays can adopt but people who discriminate against them can't?
You know they're even allowing black people to adopt, but I heard that white supremacists who openly say being black is wrong have been denied that right.[/sarcasm]
What if the kid they adopt turns out to be gay? They're going to tell this kid that he/she is WRONG to be gay, possibly tell this kid that he/she is committing a sin simply by being his/herself.
Today they asked judges to rule that their faith should not be a bar to them becoming carers, and the law should protect their Christian values
The law has no obligation to align itself with antiquated viewpoints about sexuality but it does have an obligation to protect a child from being adopted by people who discriminate. Do you honestly think these people will treat a gay child equally? I don't have any faith that they would.
That's hogwash dude. Do you think I'm stupid? A man and a man cannot bear a child from a womb cause they don't have one. A woman needs a man to have a child. I really thought you were smart, because you took a biology class in school.

God never put it in anyone's heart to kill unless it was necessary to fulfill a purpose. Righteous without blemish and its quite literal.
Man because of pursuing after their own righteousness and lusts, kill.
Now concerning things offered to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies. And if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know. But if anyone loves God, this one is known by Him.
Therefore concerning the eating of things offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one. For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many gods and many lords), yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live.
Now that to me sounds as though following after ideals and leaders in an earthly sense.
It really amazes me that Christians - - - are so in denial that they pick and choose from the bible - - especially Leviticus. And when ever you present Leviticus to them - - and show them - - they either avoid answering or come up with some completely ridiculous excuse.
If I, were the social worker, first question I would ask... Do you believe in the bible and practice what it says? Yes.. DENIED!!!!
It's not for me, I don't believe in it. So why force me?
