Yet again some PC idiot judge strikes to deprive children of a loving home, and to demonise people who hold strong religious beliefs. Since Christian bashing is now a permissible sport in society, the media and the law courts, this ruling does not surprise me at all. I bet the ruling would have been completely reversed if it had been muslim foster parents refusing to take a Jewish or gay child for example.

It's not the ruling itself I have a problem with, but the selective application of it to different ethnic groups. Shades of New Labour social engineering lingers on like the pervasive and divisive cancer it is.
