I was talking to a friend online last night about this whole adoption fiasco and how my story is, sadly, a horrible norm when it comes to infant adoption in the United States today. I lamented over how the people at Bethany Christian Services and the couple that took Martin claim to be doing it all in the name of Christ. They toss His holy name around like mad.
My friend said: "These people all have one thing in common: they are protestants, a group of people who are known for their dismissal of Christ's own mother. If they so nonchalantly ignore, even berate the Blessed Virgin Mary, why are you surprised that they have no qualms about treating you like dog crap on their shoes?"
Good point.
So, the use of Christ's name to justify their biases, prejudices, and judgements is no surprise.
