Reading the comments to this article shows me that i *do not* want to read the article. Fuck these kind of 'Xians' and their sick delusions to 'parenthood'. Seriously sick of this kind of shite.

You read the comments and not the article? IDGI--the author is not defending this.

Just reading about stuff like this makes me cringe. I get the gist, it's something i'm familiar with - i just don't want to roll around in it, you know?

Don't put that in quotes. These people are followers of Christ and as such are Christians.

Whenever you contribute to the "not really Christians if they're meanieheads!" meme, it just gives them more power to do things like this, because, after all, they're Christians and therefore nice, good, etc.

Quite frankly, that was done for the amazingly annoying people in the comm who immediately jump on any religion is bad comment with 'but not aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall!!!' whine.

Which i have no interest in dealing with.

Totally understood - although I will promise to have your back and jump all over those Christians because I LOOOOVE telling them about themselves.
