As Christians we would always have love for our children but you cannot compare Christians to the lost.
Lost people kill their kids and abuse them daily, to speak nothing of disowning them.
As Christians though, no we would love our children although loving them wouldn't always mean allowing them to continue coming home if they were adults and in sin.

Well, if I had a parent like you, I wouldnt bother coming home anyway!
Unlike the goatherders who founded the belief in monotheism. They sacrificed their first-born male children to the thunder god yahweh.
Good fundies open their hearts to their gay children, support humane treatment of pregnant teenagers, and there are nary a one of them who are mysoginist. (sarcasm)
Apparently, Kitagrl hasn't heard of the evangelical preacher Michael Pearl who's under investigation for the death of a child due to his "parenting" methods. He teaches to spank babies under a year old, and over a year old to use a peice of plastic tubing because it "won't bruise". Unfortunately for him, those marks were still in the kid's back.
""As Christians we would always have love for our children but you cannot compare Christians to the lost."
I am an atheist. If I thought for a moment that I was "lost," I would be insulted by you statement, Kitagirl, though, in some senses I do agree that it is unfair to compare Christians to atheists. The Christians come off looking SO BAD.
"Lost people kill their kids and abuse them daily, to speak nothing of disowning them."
And so do Christians. In the U.S., over 25% of mothers who kill their children say they did so for God or because of God.
"As Christians though, no we would love our children although loving them wouldn't always mean allowing them to continue coming home if they were adults and in sin."
Can't you feel the warm, fuzzy embrace of that Christian love?
Yes, but your priests seem to have discovered the *wrong* kind of love for children, and should be put in prison.
And I've known many non-christians, not one had killed a kid, abused their child, or disowned their gay sons. The Christians I've known, on the other hand...

Riiight....
<<<As Christians we would always have love for our children...>>>
Riiiiiight. What about the commands to kill your kids stated so clearly in the Bible? How come more Christians than atheists kill their kids? As an atheist, I believe killing kids is wrong. I don't add the qualifier "but it's OK if you think God tells you to."
<<<...but you cannot compare Christians to the lost.>>>
What about Christians who are lost? God isn't a GPS or map, you know!
<<<Lost people kill their kids and abuse them daily, to speak nothing of disowning them.>>>
Not true. The extremely lost might, but not most. I mean, if we're talking about "lost" in the sense of the Sahara, people may be forced to abandon their kids or let everyone die. If we're talking about "lost" in the sense of a tourist in Paris, then this is ridiculous, even if they can't speak French. (Actually, when I went there, a lot of people knew English.) In any sense, I don't see what this has to do with Christians or atheists, since both can become lost just as easily.

Sometimes to death, literally.
<<<...although loving them wouldn't always mean allowing them to continue coming home if they were adults and in sin.>>>
Right. You'll disown your kids if they do something you think a god said was wrong. If your kids are even born different, you'll disown them. Your imaginary god takes priority over your very real kids, and you want to claim that WE can't be good parents?
"As Christians though, no we would love our children although loving them wouldn't always mean allowing them to continue coming home if they were adults and in sin."
may have already been pointed out but is not disallowing them to come home if they are living in sin the same as disowning them? Contradict much?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
