Yes

 

So, didn't that answer your questions?

 

What else would everyone else say? This isn't exacly about that particular reply, it is about organized religion in general.

 

Did you write the letter?

 

No, i found it on my homepage, MSN.

 

What the hell?

 

Evangelicals are so fucked. My friend's daughter was the same way. She ended up getting pregnant at 17.

 

Oh, yeah. Then what happend?

 

Then she got into drugs...

Ok, spider, now I have an image of a homeless pregnant teenager smoking crack and preaching the gospel.
Not that it's impossible, just unlikely.

My guess is that at least one parent was into drugs already.

 

Teenage pregnancies are more common among strict Christians than in the rest of the population.

 

I'll bet late term abortions aren't. Or, How about children lost in foster care, or wellfare recipients?
You have to pick your battles I guess.

 

the father, if the story is true (probably isnt), sounds bitter from the divorce. he see's the ex-wife going on with her life. he thinks he owns the child but the kid has to be free. free from the bitterness of the father.

 

It's a true story. She was raised mostly by her mom, an evangelical. The kid always looked down on her father because he did have a drug problem and wasn't Christian enough for her. She thinks different now. She married the dude, had the kid, and moved back home.

 

Where do you live... Louisianna?
