Crazy Christians

Project 1.27 is an organization here in the Denver Metro area that is helping Christians get increasingly involved in adopting from the local foster care programs.

An article through the Associated Press and posted on MSN's website was getting a lot of comments in response to the article.

Many of the posts, perhaps a majority of them were just bashing Christians. How dare they adopt. How dare they support 'rights' for the unborn - the unborn don't pay taxes, how can they have rights?! (that is a scary proposition), they Christians down helping after Katrina were preachy, the Christians don't care or they'd be helping the starving in Africa. So I posted:

I think it's very interesting that in response to an article of Evangelicals adopting and providing homes for abandoned children that there are so many responses attacking (with straw-man arguments nonetheless) Christians. These people are working to take care of the orphans.

I've been through Project 1.27's training. It's not about brainwashing anyone. Mostly, they are couples who can't have children on their own, and want to provide a safe and caring place for these kids.

I don't know, it wasn't in the article. Are N.O.W., the ACLU, or Planned Parent Hood heavily involved in pushing for adoption? Perhaps People for the Separation of Church and State were the heroes in Katrina. It's possible that moveon.org is providing more aid to Africa than Compassion International and all of the other Evangelical sponsored movements that are saving the lives of thousands and thousands of people. I don't know about all of that. But what I do know, and you do too from this article, that Evangelicals are not just out there shouting slogans about how children are valuable (even if they don't pay taxes), they are providing homes for the abandoned.

How is this a negative reflection on Evangelicals?

Crazy Christians, there they go again. Their crime this time? Wanting to actually and practically love people.
