    Of course, it's just hard to tell who the good would be parents are. And the whole topic is complicated enough to fill a library stack.
    If it weren't for the Resurrection of Jesus, we'd all be in DEEP TROUBLE!

      Yeah, I'm having to admit I'm really not getting it. I think college has ruined our Smartacus.
      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

            The problem is your saying it "could" and this is a dangerous line to even TRY to judge. I don't think your suited to judge it, or attempt to analyze it. For two reasons. 1) you aren't a professional psychologist and 2) you aren't a parent.

              You're right: I'm not a psychologist or a parent. I'm an amateur theologian, and my argument, I hope I have made clear, is a theological one at its heart. My perspective does not necessarily prevent anyone from adopting or trying to adopt; it asks them to examine and purify their intentions.
              Don't call it a comeback. It's a riposte.

                And its from the idea that you MUST be right. That's the problem with it. You aren't there, you don't know nor do you really understand it. The desire to be a parent actually comes from the Lord as He is our Father.

                  I'm not disputing that the desire to be a parent comes from God. As I said before:

                    And I repeat myself. Your again acting as though something specific that comes from God and is totally inborn may become sinful when its not something you've ever been through, had to go through or have experience with. That's the problem with the argument right there.
