@redeemed_zoomer You can try, but Christ’s church (AKA the Catholic Church) will always prevail. I feel sorry for the people convinced by you to not go Catholic.
@McJuggerNuggets So a handicap toddler who is less “conscious” than a dog can be executed just as you executed your baby just because he is now handicap? Are you defining the human right to life by how smart people hapoen to be? You are just a modern savage.
@MattWalshBlog While in jail for life he will have a chance to repent. He doesn’t post any danger to society while in jail. The only reasons to execute him would be either vengeance or exemplary. Vengeance is wrong. Exemplary maybe might be a reason.
@redeemed_zoomer@TheCalvinCooli1 It seems like you don’t trust God”s justice. We don’t have to kill people if we can keep them in prison for life. While in prison for life, criminals have a chance to repent.
@GPrime85@conservmillen I don’t remember ever feeling such a visceral disgust after seeing a cartoon. This artist really captured the obvious evil of this situation.
“He’s five months old. He doesn’t understand English.”
Right.
The baby understands something deeper.
Why is it that “mama” (or some version of it) shows up in nearly every language on earth? Chinese, Arabic, Spanish. Cultures separated by continents, histories, and entirely different linguistic families — and yet they all landed on the same sound for the same person?
That’s not coincidence. That’s anthropology.
“Ma” is one of the very first sounds a baby can make. It’s the natural position of the mouth during nursing. Long before a child understands words, he forms that sound. And who answers?
Across time, across cultures, across civilizations it is the woman who carried him, the woman whose body he knows.
Humanity didn’t invent “mama.” We recognized it.
So no, he doesn’t understand English.
But he does understand that something (or someone) is missing.
And what makes that video so disturbing isn’t just the cruelty of laughing at a distressed baby. It’s the denial of the human non-negotiable that children come from, and are made for, a mother.
They can mock the baby's babbling. But the can't erase the reality it points to.
That baby isn’t confused. The gay men are.
