I hope you are being sarcastic Rev.

If you get to a child during their very early years you can convince them of anything. That is why religious grooming of vulnerable children is unethical. The effects are difficult to erase and can last a lifetime. Those of us who see the issue clearly and are adamantly opposed must stand up and object. Parents who take advantage of their children were more than likely victims of their own parents. We need to reserve our strongest condemnation for the institutions who prey on vulnerable children because they know that is the only way they can survive.

Mandatory reading for all those left in the country that are not taken in by the GOP criminal class. The problem history and consequences of GOP malfeasance is clearly stipulated and substantiated.

Now. What do we do about it? How do we reverse the tide?

Two web sites you can check out.

I believe there is growing recognition of the right of grandparents to have access to their grandchildren. It probably varies from state to state, but the more progressive West Coast and Northeast would probably be ahead in this regard. I can do some research for you if you like. Otherwise, just do a Google search for "gramdparent rights".

I think social scientists believe that couples that stay happily married provide stability to their communities and extended family. It is not a moral issue except to religious people who believe marriage is to last for all eternity. Secular people are ambivalent I would think, but most probably would prefer long lasting relationships just as a practical matter. Emotionally. breaking up is always hard to do.

Tax the rich, prosecute tax cheats, impeach Clarence Thomas, recall all the TP frauds, cut defense, and create jobs!

My pleasure Vickie, Welcome to our blog.

Don't follow your meaning. Too many comments with just one response?

Nice connection. I will begin using that. "religion is just another STD". Makes a nice concise tweet.
