You can't have one ounce of "faith" if you talk like that.

Kids get bullied for many reasons, and only the bullies (really their parents) should be to blame. I got bullied for being chubby and having red hair, both of which are direct traits from my father... but I'm still glad he conceived and raised me, and actually feel I'm a better person because of it. You know, it seems the kids who were bullied usually end up being the more awesome teens & adults - at least, that's what I have noticed over the years. Probably has to do with learning how intolerance hurts others, and developing a certain compassion for the "underdog."

Who's anti-constitution? And who's gay?

My kids are perfectly normal adults and no they did not develop that thinking late. They just never pointed out the differences between them because they didn't care. They were more interested in playing with their toys and not the difference in their bodies.

If I talk like what? You mean, if I understand simple biology? Lots of people with faith understand and accept science, despite what the folks in certain circles might say.

Who are you referring to here? I don't think any of that (except the parents being gay) was in the story.

FYI: Lots of "winners" are raised by Atheist Democrat parents, whether you are willing to admit it or not. Matter of fact, the majority of the region where I live falls under at least one of those categories - and we also happen to have a few of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the country, not to mention your computer was probably conceived and/or created here. Whoopsie!

Like I said, all kids are different! Just saying it's not abnormal behavior at that age, which any doctor or psychologist would likely confirm.

The parents will likely teach this kid to be everything a RWNJ isn't, meaning he'll do well in life.
