Christians Restrict Catholics From Adoption

Fuck them both. They're both assholes. First of all, I have a problem with a Christian adoption agency. Who are they to impose their religious beliefs on anyone who wants to adopt a baby? Who the fuck are they to discriminate? There should be very few prerequisites to adoption. A nuclear family, both parents having a good job, no criminal history, etc. Why would they want to make it extremely difficult for children to be adopted?
This is a prime example of how Religion is incompatible with society. This agency, which is called Bethany, has 75 adoption offices in 30 states. These are the same people who scream "Choose Life" at everyone. So my question is: Who the fuck are they to on one hand, scream "choose life", and on the other say "After you choose life, we'll make sure your son or daughter "chooses Christ." Clever, huh? It's true, though.
These Bethany scumbags have the nerve to actually turn down a perfectly suitable applicant simply because they disagree with their official statement of faith? That's bullshit. It's a euphemism. Their real policy is this: If you do not agree with them on Christ and the Bible, you are not allowed to raise a child they control. Who the fuck are they? And they have the balls to accept tax payer money? It makes me sick. This is what pisses people off about Christian organizations and leaders the most. The hypocrisy. They're talking out of both sides of their face.
As for the Catholics... Well, you guys aren't getting off easy either. Obviously, I have to at least lean towards your side, seeing as these Bethany assholes are complete hypocrites, and would deny me the right to adopt a child if I wanted to. However, I don't understand why the Catholics just don't lie. Who cares? What's wrong about lying so you can do a good thing? Nothing is. Maybe if the average Catholic wasn't so interested in corporal punishment (beating the shit out of your child as punishment), and extremely awkward religious ceremonies, you wouldn't be getting fucked with. What can I say? Wake up and realize that Bethany is a hypocritical organization, and find yourself a real adoption agency and stop bitching.
And how much money did Bethany receive from the state of Mississippi? $7,053 of the $244,000 in Choose Life tag sales. Real fucking nice. This story contains so much idiocy, corruption, hypocrisy, and utter bullshit that my head is about to explode. It pisses me off so much because the people who are really being fucked with are innocent orphan children who are being denied a Mommy and Daddy because of religion. Because the Catholics are too strict. Because Bethany is too hateful of anyone who doesn't see things exactly their way. All at the expensive of innocent orphan children. The Christians AND the Catholics are both assholes precisely because of this. Just another coin in the hat that goes to show religion does more harm than good.
If they would have put this simple fucking warning label on the Bible, none of this shit, along with plenty of other horrible shit would have never happened. (Thanks Kathyrn)

Dear Matt,
Do you see the hypocrisy in this world, especially among those preachers who considered the Bible like the Qur'an (the literal word of God). That's awful and disgusting.
Jesus did not say to his disciples: "Go to the whole world and take your BIBLE with you. Those who do not believe in the BIBLE will be condemned."
Jesus did not send the BIBLE. He sent people, human beings, like you and him, and her... He sent the Church to proclaim the GOOD NEWS to the world.
This Church (from the beginning Catholic until now) is still proclaiming the GOOD NEWS despite the sins of some pedophiles, or irresponsible people who took advantage of the Church.
These little "Christian shops" called Methodists (who asks you to be a volunteer &... heavenly rewards guaranteed) [THIS IS SICK] or other shops who believe that Hell is below and heaven above + Hell is fire [THIS IS STUPID].
There are other "christian shops" who sell STUPID IDEAS rejecting SCIENCE (Like BIB BANG or EVOLUTION]. These "Christian dwarfs" are stupid, dishonest, and selfish. They distort the teaching of the Church. They established their churches (few hundreds years ago) (some few years ago without any root or knowledge) just to oppose the teaching of the Church. THIS IS DISGUSTING.
They reject EDUCATION & SCIENCE because the BIBLE says things differently. THIS IS SICK. The Angels are angry of these people who distort the Truth.
There are other websites who claim to be catholics but they are condemned by the Church like the catholic apologetics international who believe that the SUN REVOLVE AROUND EARTH. These are STUPID, Anti-Catholic, Excommunicated by the Church because they distort the teaching of the Church and they hate science. PARANOID. PSYCHOTIC.
I am glad MATT that you hate what Jesus hates and you love what Jesus loves. That's how I see it.
Courage in your Battle.
Your Angel Anthony

I agree that there's no reason to deny Catholics the right to adopt. No reason at all. However, I think Catholics have given themselves a bad rap. But I don't even think that's the reason they're being denied. It's only because the Catholic sect of Christianity is much different then "general Christianity." Obviously, someone has a bone to pick with the Catholic Church.
Like I said, excluding the obvious prerequisites, there is no reason at all to prevent people from adopting orphan children. They're the ones are being fucked with in the end. Thanks for commenting Amanda, I appreciate it.
Anthony...
Thanks for the religious information. It's very appreciated it. I can always count on you to set me straight on these different sects. Also, It's very good to see a religious person defending science and simple known facts about the universe. Very admirable, Anthony.
You think I hate what Jesus hates, and I love what Jesus loves? Well, maybe I AM Jesus, and maybe one of these days I'm going to let everyone know that their time is up. Whenever I get bored enough. Just maybe. ;)
Thanks, Anthony.
I'm not a Catholic, and not much of a Christian, but I find these peoples discrimination appalling.
Anthony - that may be the first thing you've posted here that didn't make me say, "Wow, that guy is completely insane".
**JT goes completely off-topic**
I followed one of Dalyce's posts over to her blog. (I'm not some twisted cyber-stalker, I take a trip to any posters site on every blog I read).
Don't take this wrong Matt, but she's freakin' hot dude! Hang on to that one!
Rick
Just so you know Rick, I was talking about the specific Catholics involved with this situation and I wasn't talking about then in general. I just wanna clarify because I don't want to offend people when that isn't my intent.
One thing I know about Catholic raised people is they seem to be extremely moral people. And that's what I am, really. My dad was Catholic raised. He went to a Catholic school where when you got in trouble, they'd slap your hands with rulers! So generally, as sad as it is, it causes some people to become violent later in life, and others become extremely proud moral people.
Catholics don't believe in Jesus? Eh? I thought that was the Jews. Help me out here, Rick.
JT
I fully agree with you JT. And it's not just Catholics. If Catholics can't adopt, can you imagine who else can't adopt? I know I wouldn't be able to adopt from Bethany. I bet a peaceful Buddhist wouldn't be able to either. And all they're doing is using poor orphaned children to propel their ideology. It's actually pretty sickening when I put it in that perspective.
Yes, JT! That was indeed the first time Anthony ever posted anything that made me say "Wow, that was a normal post." I was completely shocked. But then I did as he said in another comment somewhere and told the both of us to visit his site to see this profile he did on me. He took a cool picture of me when I had red hair and made it look almost metrosexual. Not cool.
Haha. It's ok, surprisingly I'm not the jealous type so I humbly accept the compliment. She is quite hot. And I have and will hang on to her for a long time. We've been together since I was 15 and she was 13. That's a long long time. Since she was in 8th grade! Although, the picture she has set to her main picture is funny. She's a good girl. Thanks for the comment and the compliment and I'm sure she'll appreciate it too. She loves attention.
hey Matt, what happened to your rating on facethejury.com ?
I took it off because I felt it was a bit immature. I'm trying to make this blog look sleek and professional. And those little demons up there certainly do the trick.

Hi Matt,
I hope you had a nice weekend with your loved ones.
There are some people who are really angry at me like Maggie who felt offended when I said that "some evangelicals" "some methodists" are crazy. Though I didn't judge them all. I respect all these churches and denominations. They have some truths, but not everything.
However, I had to reply to this little maggie on my blog
+ a new picture MATT with ?
Please feel free not to like it. The photo that I made is just a personal expression of how I see things.
You don't need to believe.
Thanks Matt for listening to me.
I am the happiest Angel in Heaven.
First of all, who gives a crap what religion someone is when adopting a child. Are you a good person and able to bring a child up in a loving home? That's all that matters. There are too many children out there begging for some good family to adopt them and wanna be parents who would love to adopt these children but cannot because of the cost of adopting.
I need to run for Government..
Nicki
I fully agree. And it's sad that they're being exploited by Christians. Thanks for commenting.
When I initially read this post, I went and did a search for this Bethnay home place. Found it, and sent them an email ripping them a new one. I actually got a response today. Here it is:

That's awesome JT. They changed their policy and started allowing the Catholics to adopt. Very nice to see that. Equally nice to see people emailing them. I wish I would have done that too. Good going.
