I'm a substitute teacher, and I do more parenting that many of the kids' parents. Fucking around and finding out may make one technically a parent, but it does not imbue one with the skills, compassion, and patience that it takes to raise a human.

Absolutely 100% agree. This hypocrisy is what I noticed and why I fled my Sunday Presbyterian indoctrination meetings, aka "church", at around age 12... much to my "mom's" chagrin. Mine may have squeezed me out, but she weren't no mother, that's for damn sure.
