Carrie Gordon Earll, a policy analyst for the conservative Christian ministry Focus on the Family, expressed empathy for the Cheney family but depicted the newly announced pregnancy as unwise.

I disagree, it's more important to raise a child with love, it does not matter who the primary care giver is. It also does not matter how many care givers there are. One is sufficient as long as there is love.MeJennifer said:Suspicious or not I agree with the statement.
The best way to raise a child is with a mother and a father.
And yet you changed the wording of it. Good for you. I agree with the mother and father part, I just can't figure out why she took a swipe at love.MeJennifer said:Suspicious or not I agree with the statement.

Love is simply an emotional state not something that is magically given to someone else. In fact someone whose behaviour is conditioned by being loved by others will always have self esteem issues to deal with.jimmysnyder said:And yet you changed the wording of it. Good for you.

So "God is Love" is out? If you are not a Christian, you needn't answer that. The same goes for Carrie Gordon Earll.MeJennifer said:Love is simply an emotional state not something that is magically given to someone else. In fact someone whose behaviour is conditioned by being loved by others will always have self esteem issues to deal with.
Taking care for a child in a material and emotional way is what matters not the selfish feeling of love towards a child.

Taking care for a child in a material and emotional way is what matters not the selfish feeling of love towards a child. There is nothing wrong by loving a child of course but some people are incredibly naive about this and think that their love for a child is by itself something that is beneficial for the child.
When something is considered "overrated," it means that it is given more value or importance than it deserves. In the context of Christianity, it suggests that love may not be as important or meaningful as it is often portrayed to be.
Yes, there are various interpretations of love within Christianity. Some view love as primarily a feeling or emotion, while others see it as a choice or action. Additionally, there are different understandings of who or what should be the object of love, whether it be God, others, or oneself.
Many religions have similar teachings about love, such as treating others with kindness and compassion. However, Christianity places a strong emphasis on the love of God and the sacrificial love of Jesus Christ, which sets it apart from other faiths.
Some may argue that love can never be overrated in Christianity, as it is considered one of the core values of the religion. However, others may believe that an excessive focus on love can overshadow other important aspects of the faith, such as justice and obedience to God's commandments.
It is important to remember that the phrase "love is overrated" is a subjective statement and may not necessarily reflect the teachings of Jesus. While some may feel that love is given too much emphasis in Christianity, others may argue that it is the foundation of the faith and cannot be overrated. Ultimately, it is up to individuals to interpret and apply the message of love in their own lives.
