Make fun of RR thread.

Oh, the nature Catch-22. Either you're worse than animals, or you're as bad as animals. You can't win, nature ALWAYS supports their observations.
Animals are huge dicks. Remember Lion King? Yeah, if that was accurate, Scar would have just eaten Simba & no one would have batted an eye over it.
Last semester when I was taking that class I called Japanclass, there was a section talking about how 5-6th century women would kill their infants by stepping on their necks if they figured they couldn't raise them. Interesting trivia for RR.
The Right Honourable Mlle Antéchrist:
And yet, I bet this person cheered triumphantly when Moses' mom put him in a basket and sent him on his merry way down a river.

Yes, it's sad that babies are being abandoned, but that's not an indication that the world is going to hell. This is actually an improvement. In the past, most abandoned babies simply died. No one cared about it that much, either. For all their complaining, the world is better than its ever been. I don't know how people can look at the past, look at the present, and say, "Yep, it's getting worse."

Several hundred years ago, an orphanage (Ospedale degli Innocenti, or "Hospital of the Innocents") was set up in Florence, Italy, where women could discreetly drop off their unwanted infants without being seen.
Why are they acting like this type of thing is somehow new?
N. De Plume:
Indeed. Where do they think the baby-on-the-doorstep trope came from?
Atavist:
It comes from the Sense of Discernment that fundies develop.
As soon as they have it it allows them to drop any sense of history, desecration, proportion, or any other of the "senses' the rest of the world uses on a hourly basis.
With their "Discernment", they justify their ignorance and wallow in their nonexistent sense of superiority.
