Should Christians be stopped from fostering because of their faith/belief?

2 women a week isn't extremism. Its a normal pattern of behaviour. Spousal abuse is endemic.

Homosexuality as a 'lifestyle' choice can be no worse than heterosexuality as a 'lifestyle' choice.

What are you posting about spousal abuse for?

As I said....extremists are everywhere.

"Some childrens homes are run by religious institutions.

social services don't ban them from looking after children do they?"

They do ban them from spouting homophobic views if they have any. They are Ofsted inspected and run by trained people, not by nuns from the 1600s.

Surely this has nothing to do with whether homosexuality is good or bad and everything to do with who has authority and parental responsibility over the child? That is, if it's your child, you can impose your homophobic or pro-gay beliefs. If the child is in the care of the state, you have to adhere to what they say - because it's not your child.

Where do all the cases of sexual abuse come from then?

It looks like you're defending religious institutions against abuse.

And exactly how is that?

Ahh I get it, views are challenged by banning or paranoia.

OFSTED sure kept their eyes on these people.

Religious homes systematically abused children.

You are completely incomprehensible.

You're the poster posting about battered women on a thread about something entirely different.

As for being incomprehensible?

What context were your posts in?

Are you the same poster with the ////////? Strikes as similar....

BooyFuckingHoo · 28/02/2011 22:46

"But the suggestion that a heterosexual can explain what homosexual life is like, whether it's good or bad is a nonsense"

you are the one assuming i am heterosexual and therefore ill equipped to tell my child whether a homosexual life is a good life.

givemushypeasachance · 28/02/2011 22:46

Oh I'm just going to pop back in for five seconds to point out that Ofsted doesn't regulate children's social care in Ireland - or Northern Ireland, Scotland or Wales. Just England. And they've only been doing it here since 2007.

Bub-bye again.

straightbat · 28/02/2011 22:47

How does that mean I am defending abuse?

You make no sense.

You think that homophobes should be allowed to foster because religious institutions are allowed to run care homes. The care homes aren't allowed to spout homophobic views so the relevence is lost on me. Because religious run care homes exist, are regulated and are not allowed to be homophobic, I am defending abuse? You brought up care homes not me. How does the existence of care homes make people unconnected with them defenders of abuse?

Most definitely not i'm just Hymie.

It's not just about you Boo...but if you ARe a Homosexual i'm happy for you.

What that's got to do with me I don't know, do you want my blessing?

My homosexual life is pretty good but I also know gays who are having a rotten time. In the same way I know heterosexuals with good and bad lives. But surely the first step to a good life for anyone is being able to be yourself, whatever that means?

LoopyLoopsHulaHoops · 28/02/2011 22:48

I'm going to ignore the OP's posts as she's clearly high on crack, but in an effort to bring the 'debate' back together...

Children in care are, by definition, more vulnerable than most, and therefore those caring for them must be trained to deal with delicate situations sensitively.

In the case that a child, or someone they know, is effected by one of life's stigmas (homosexuality, mental illness, different race, learning difficulties etc.) it is the job of the professionals involved in their development to treat them with care, compassion and dignity. It is therefore paramount that people who are unable to suppress their natural bigotry are not given the opportunity to taint the good work that goes into caring for a vulnerable child.

BooyFuckingHoo · 28/02/2011 22:49

"Could you take 5 minutes and write, coherently, what your problem is because mostly you're coming across as homophobic and lacking critical thinking skills."

spot on.

Religious care homes are Homophobic by nature...and children are abused there.

Do you agree that children should be sent to one of those?
