Unless you're talking to yourself when you say now is not the time to be divisive. You don't need to tell us how we should discuss it.As I said, if focusing on criticizing religion, rather than discussing the importance of child care is the point of this discussion, then I acknowledge my ill-spent input toward a matter I misconstrued.
Dude! You are who led the discussion there!

You are the one making it divisive. This thread has contained talk about awareness, abuse, religion and the grief this kind of thing causes. You built a big strawman in this thread, and I'm not afraid to call you out on it.
