The text following is from a press release put out by CWA (Concerned Women for America) about the recent birth of the child of Mary Cheney ( VP Dick Cheney's daughter) and her life-partner, Heather Poe. Read below and you can just feel the warm Christian love oozing from every word.
[begin quoted text] SBM PRAISES parents and individuals - mothers and fathers - who have taken on the noble task of adopting children and giving them a chance at life in the God ordained family unit including a Daddy and Mommy. Every child deserves a Daddy and Mommy. We understand, sometimes through death or divorce, that unit is broken - and parents do the best they could to raise and nurture their child or children. That's where we as the Body of Christ step in to help and be there for the family and child. We celebrate these individuals and families. Sometimes in a second heterosexual marriage, children are adopted. We praise these men and women who do all they could to raise these children. THESE ARE REAL PARENTS. This is NOT playing "house."
Homosexual parenting though is something TOTALLY different. It "mimicks" the real and the natural....
And here is Bennett's press release. I can't even begin to excerpt it or bold it, it's that bad. Read it:
OFFICIAL SBM PRESS RELEASE 05/30/07:
White House Officially Recognizes Homosexual Unions and Parenting?
Contact: The Parents Group ~ SBM's National Office, 203-926-6960
HUNTINGTON, Conn., May 30 /Christian Newswire/ -- On May 23, 2007, the White House, silently and without any fanfare, released an official White House photo of Vice President Dick Cheney and his wife, Lynne Cheney, welcoming their sixth grandchild, Samuel David Cheney, into the Cheney fold.
The beautiful little tyke weighed in at 8 lbs., 6 oz. and was born at 9:46 a.m. at Sibley House in Washington, D.C.
What is extremely troubling is the official White House caption that appears underneath the photo on the official White House website:
"... His parents are the Cheney's daughter Mary, and her partner, Heather Poe. White House photo by David Bohrer."
Since when have two homosexual women been able to naturally procreate?
Fact is Mary Cheney, the Vice President's daughter - in one way or another - received a male's sperm. She is the biological mother, parent number one, and some man, somewhere out there, is Samuel David's real biological father, parent number two.
Unlike the official White House photo caption, a man and a woman, a Daddy and a Mommy, are Samuel David Cheney's REAL biological parents.
Then who is Heather Poe?
Heather Poe is Mary Cheney's live-in lesbian lover. She may act like a parent, she may treat the baby as a parent, she may love this baby with all of her heart, but in this reality we all live in, Heather Poe is NOT the baby's real parent. She has NO biological connection to the child whatsoever. Some man, the baby's real Daddy, is the child's other REAL parent.
If the Vice President and his wife Lynne are joining their daughter Mary in playing this homosexual game of "house," then all have chosen their roles and designated lesbian lover Heather Poe as the "Daddy."
Everyone knows there can only be one REAL biological Mommy. We are all grown adults. Playing "house" is a game for children, not for The White House or the Vice President and his wife.
What is so hypocritical of this Administration is its "double- speak."
President George W. Bush held several presses conferences calling for a Federal Marriage Amendment to protect the God-ordained institution of marriage between one man and one woman, while homosexuals pushed for the union of two men or two women to be equally recognized as real "marriage."
However, the President's number two, right hand man, Vice President Dick Cheney, clearly rebels against his superior, makes a public mockery of the President and the current Administration he is supposed to represent, and clearly holds to a different set of moral standards and beliefs.
When President Bush stood on the victory stage several years ago after being elected into office by values voters, Mary Cheney was on stage as well with her lesbian lover, Heather Poe. It was a slap in the face to the values voters who had just elected the duo into office. That wound has never healed.
While this little innocent child Samuel David Cheney deserves every fighting chance at life, the sins of two women, Mary Cheney and Heather Poe, have deliberately denied the Vice President's grandson one of the most basic human rights of all: the right to a Daddy and a Mommy.
I say shame on the White House, shame on the President and shame on the Vice President for allowing such a caption to be "officially" added onto the White House website and such a beautiful photo of two happy grandparents and their new grandchild.
I guess we can tragically and officially say both the White House and Bush Administration have officially recognized the sinful sexual unions of homosexuals, as well as recognized and embraced the tragedy of the social experiment of homosexual parenting. [end quoted text]

And I can sense it's about to ooze into AvC.
Any minute now.
<Takes cover in a tall skyscraper to avoid the stampede of moral Christians rushing in to denounce the hate-mongering of the CWA>
It is no wonder that Christians consider Pa to be most loving. Look, he only has to beat out is Dick Cheney, who, I am sure, is rushing to his daughter's defense. Just like he did for Halliburton's interest.

I get so absolutely sick of this "children need a mommy *and* a daddy!" bullshit that is constantly spouted off by conservatives. No, they really don't. What children need is *good* parenting. Whether that parent comes from one person, two people of different genders who are married, two people of the same gender, or ten people all living together in one big hippie commune is irrelevant. What matters is that *all* of the parenting is good parenting. One loving, consistent, and stern when needed parent will do so much more for a child than two parents who ignore their child, can't set boundaries, can't enforce rules, and fight all the time. Parenting is about quality, not quantity. And it most definitely isn't about gender.

As a Christian, I feel I should aplogize for this idiotic concept of marriage should only be between a "mommy" and "daddy".
I specially like to express disgust for the following paragraph;
"While this little innocent child Samuel David Cheney deserves every fighting chance at life, the sins of two women, Mary Cheney and Heather Poe, have deliberately denied the Vice President's grandson one of the most basic human rights of all: the right to a Daddy and a Mommy. "
I can't being to say what a load of crap that is.

This letter is a load of crap. I gurarantee you that this is not what all Christians think or agree with. But I wonder what is your response if an Atheist had the same thoughts as these so called Christians do.

For centuries, Christianity has been used as an excuse for mass murder. It has been used as an excuse for persecution and invasion. And now, it's being used for bigotry, discrimination, and intolerance. The Christian right is no better than a bunch of racists or antisemites. Gay couples can make excellent adoptive parents. And, from what I've seen, a damned sight better than a lot of so-called "natural" parents I've known. The CWA vents its hatred like this, not because they're good Christians but because Cheney and Poe are different than the members of CWA. The CWA is quick to judge this couple's morality (so much for "judge not least you be judged) out of one corner of their mouths, then extoll how loving they are in their Christian religion out of the other. Gimmie a break! What mind boggling hipocracy! The CWA should take its inquisition back to the Dark Ages and disappear. There's enough hatred in the world already without them.

My response would be the same, except that there's this important difference. If an atheist said something like this, they would be speaking for themselves and would not presume to speak for all atheists. These people presume to speak for all Christians, they rap themselves in the Bible and do so with abandon.

Heck, I could have guaranteed that.
How about most evangelical Christians? Or just most Southern Baptists?

It is atheists, not Atheists.
But I'd be amazed if an atheist had Christian thoughts, where she quoted the bible and all that wrath of God stuff. But uneducated bigotry by any other name would deserve the same condemnation.
I note how Christians suddenly become "so called Christians" as soon as they reveal an ugly side.
While I have a certain degree of appreciation for the fact that most Christians here seem to be different than those of the religious right in the US (who are conveniently absent most of the time), don't just say that anyone that makes you look bad isn't a Christian just because they take The Bible more literally than you do and don't agree with you about everything. Making "Christian" synonymous with your conception of "good" is just as insulting as anything in that article.

(quoting christian newswire) Fact is Mary Cheney, the Vice President's daughter - in one way or another - received a male's sperm. She is the biological mother, parent number one, and some man, somewhere out there, is Samuel David's real biological father, parent number two.
Unlike the official White House photo caption, a man and a woman, a Daddy and a Mommy, are Samuel David Cheney's REAL biological parents.
Then who is Heather Poe?
Heather Poe is Mary Cheney's live-in lesbian lover. She may act like a parent, she may treat the baby as a parent, she may love this baby with all of her heart, but in this reality we all live in, Heather Poe is NOT the baby's real parent. She has NO biological connection to the child whatsoever. Some man, the baby's real Daddy, is the child's other REAL parent.
LL: I'd like to ask the writers of this item and those who agree with its moronic sentiments, how this situation differs from a married heterosexual couple who decides to have the woman artificially inseminated in order for them to have a child? Would they also make a poin loudly and often that the child has a REAL biological father and it isn't the woman's husband? Would they proclaim that the husband has NO biological connection to the child whatsoever and that "some man, the baby's read Daddy is the child's other REAL parent"?
The same could be said about an adopted child. I wonder if these people go around proclaiming loudly and often that this or that adopted child is NOT the biological child of their adopted parents and that there are REAL parents out there somewhere? Do they say that the adoptive heterosexual couple is PLAYING HOUSE?
The so called christian group added this: "While this little innocent child Samuel David Cheney deserves every fighting chance at life, the sins of two women, Mary Cheney and Heather Poe, have deliberately denied the Vice President's grandson one of the most basic human rights of all: the right to a Daddy and a Mommy."
LL: I wonder if they proclaim that loudly and often when they try to prevent women from having abortions and give up the child for adoption instead. Do they also procliam loudly and often that "THIS CHILD HAS BEEN DENIED ONE OF THE MOST BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS, THE RIGHT " TO A [BIOLOGICAL] DADDY AND A MOMMY."
Sounds to me like the perfect argument for abortion being legal and available. How many kids do they want running around without a REAL daddy and mommy?

LL: It's highly unlikely that an atheist would have such thoughts. It takes theism to engender such asinine thinking.
Obviously, not all christians embrace these thoughts--but such thoughts are attributed to christianity. Argue with the people who do this, not the atheists who condemn it. Extremist christians make all christians look stupid and ignorant. It's unfortunate because a lot of christians rise above such ideas. But the pool has been badly tainted.
Simultaneously they insult adopted children for being raised by different people than their birth parents, homosexuals, the Bush Administration (well, they do have a point there, they are a bunch of hypocrites... I'm just glad that for once Dick Cheney did a decent and human thing, in fact the only decent and human thing I can credit to him), all in the name of Christianity. Biotry and hatred caked in religious fervor... dangerous combination. I will give credit to Cheney, though. For once, he did something sensible.

Dillan is empathetic that way. The puzzling part is that he is apologizing on behalf of a bigoted organization's rant. It appears that he sees this as something he as a Christian should take responsibility for.
I'd have thought condemning it would have been sufficient.
But show of good intentions, nonetheless. Especially seeing that he is about the only Christian who has condemned it thus far.
