Is it cruel? Yes, because it isn't true.

So if a kid is teased for having a cleft palate, and the kid really has a cleft palate, then it isn't cruel to tease the kid about it? Likewise if the kid's Mom is a lesbian, or the dad gets sent to prison?

That's cold.

You are trying to compare physical problems with claims that are non-physical in nature. They are not the same. Of course, I would not tolerate teasing about physical deformities or anything else that unfairly ostracizes a child or any other person for that matter. I wouldn't tolerate a child telling another that she came from monkeys, because I don't believe it is true, as I have already said. My point was simply that her parents have little room to complain when they take a pro-evolution position.

But evidently it's the Christian thing to do. WWJD? Point, laugh, and go 'ook ook ook', apparently.
